Description

Returning to a time, place and partner when things were better. A time of crossing over from Elul to Tishrei - through on the the gates of Yerushalayim. Tears and crying of the month of Elul. The absolute chutzpah to return yet again and ask for forgiveness. What is the sha'ar hamayim (the gate of water) and what is its power? Feeling humiliation and shame for the failures - on many levels - of yet another year. Practical steps towards helping our hearts feel. What did I do to Hashem, my spouse, my children and other Jews; what did I allow my eyes to see? The shames' sweet morning cry rousing his town's "Yiddelech" to Slichos.
