Today's Elul Chai-Ku:
Shabbat, weekly gift...
Unplug from hollow distractions.
Turn to what is real.

20 Elul—Draw a Breath of Rest! Shabbat Shalom!
Even though Elul is our month to wake up, to pay attention, to do lots of deep soul work, Shabbat takes precedence over everything. Time to rest, time to play. Let all your thinking and reflecting fade to the background. Enjoy a day off. As you do this, know that all your hard work is integrating, settling on its own, without effort on your part.
In this past week we have taken stock of many parts of our lives.
In sum, are we balancing all these different aspects of ourselves and parts of our outer lives in a graceful and healthy way? If not, why?
That's a lot to reflect upon!!
But now it’s time to put all that aside.
Our Earnest Elul Efforts will resume soon. Even the shofar can wait. Sometimes we gain more by letting go, by taking an authentic pause.
It is time for us all to head into a peaceful, rejuvenating Shabbat.
