So here it comes, what to do, the 'Holy Days' are already behind the door and we are already...
Select options:
A. ...are under stress and pressure.
on. Feeling anxious.
third. Nervous.
D. All answers are correct.
Let me guess, you chose D and got 100.
Did I say 100? Not sure.
It was a week ago, I passed by a Beit Midrash in my neighborhood, and outside I saw two friends who were outside smoking... you know.
After an exchange of pleasantries, I ask: What's going on inside the hall?
- 'Ethical Conversation' Rabbi Orach, Elul, you know.
- And why aren't you inside?
-This preacher is 'stressful'... How many disasters, how many funerals, how many illnesses... Forget it.

So it's true that we grew up on God from a young age!
And 'the fish return trembling,' and it is true that these are days of judgment for everything that is going to happen to us.
But... there is another side to the coin!
We forgot that these are also days of desire, days when we can embrace the King, and he wants us too.
But what, following the advice of instinct, we simply invested all our energy in only one side of the coin, while the other side simply disappeared from our screen.
The Mashgich Rabbi Y. Lonstein, zt"l, said to the boy at the end of the time of his father: "Here are the happy days coming.".
And this is the great wisdom: knowing how to blend the two matters, on the one hand seriousness, on the other hand calmness and joy.
It is impossible for these exalted days to pass us by with the feeling of 'Let them fly away.' It is impossible for 'I am for my uncle and my uncle is for me' in the simple sense of the proverb to lose its true meaning.
Why does it seem that since the first day of the month of Elul was sanctified, a heavy cloud has descended upon the world of the Torah, a kind of despair...
Instead of using these days to fix what needs fixing, we simply 'wait' for them to pass somehow, and then at the end of the week, eh... a sigh of relief.
Just before the year 2015 sets and 2016 dawns, let's come to our senses, not stress or lose our temper, do what is incumbent on us, and write for a good life and peace.
