If we have enough, how could we not give?

Here are two different ways to give before the start of the new year:

Chai elul

The life of the month that invites us to return to our original state

Before the shattering

Who we are.

And bring all the pieces back Home, too

With Love

For without them, we are not whole

When someone had any anxiety or worries in life, the Rebbe would recommend learning this book, even 3 to 4 times. Trust is not just a concept but a feeling in one's heart that each of us can learn to cultivate. It is a state of tranquility, security, and safety. When we rely on G-d alone, we live with true inner peace.

While we will be gathering weekly, you're welcome to drop in for any one class, also!

Yom Kippur is a day of 'at-one-ment.' aka coming back to ones self (that real real good good). The fasting is the easiest way to let go of the material world, our misconceptions and false beliefs, and truly remember who we are. Beyond our schedules, work, responsibilities, masks....

And when this holy day falls on Shabbat, the day G-d and all of creation rests, then our 'at-one-ment' is done with rest. You already are who you want to be, all is forgiven, healed, loved. It's just 26 hours to remember this; that's the work.

And since Yom Kippur is known as 'Shabbat Shabbaton' (the Sabbath of Sabbaths), we'll be in a triple Shabbos wave and I mean who doesn't love that

Gear chatima tova, may you be signed and sealed for a good year. A good unknown, becoming known with every second. Everything good, in Life, with joy.

When we're given the Torah (i.e. teaching or instruction), then all the mountains come to naught.

If you look out over this water, the mountains and hills look very large. The mountains in our life can seem that way too sometimes...our challenges, struggles.

Torah is like water, it comes from a very high place and comes to the lowest places. It gives life and nourishment. Now, when you see the reflection of the mountains in the water, they are flattened...they are like nothing. It was simply an illusion.

Thus too, the things that seem so big and mighty in our lives (work, relationships, health, livelihood, etc.), when looked at with the perspective of water (i.e. the Torah; a good teaching), they become so little. We just need the right eyes.

Everything on the outside is reflecting the inside.

"I look to the mountains, from where will my help come?"

'from where' = מאין

In hebrew, אין translates to mean nothing. But in Torah and chassidut, we learn that 'nothing' is really what exists beyond 'everything.'

'Everything' includes what I understand, how I feel, what I think, see, hear....'nothing' where 'i' ends, and the Life of all Life begins.

From the 'nothing-ness' does my help come.
i.e. from the G-d I will never understand completely, from a place that is beyond my wildest imagination...that is where my help will come from.

And that is where are dreams are born...where we begin to discover who we really are. One cannot understand who they are within the box they currently exist within. When we transcend our self, then we actually start walking.

Ask for help from the King of Kings. He is always listening. Waiting for you to remember.

You were never separate from Him, it's who you are. Just come back to the אין, the question before the answer, the unknown before the known. And there we begin

Healing and the mind

The worst thing you can do to recover from illness is to dwell upon it. To ponder, "Perhaps I would be better off with this remedy or with that; perhaps I should read up on what happens to people with this sort of thing; perhaps my doctor doesn't know what he's talking about and I'm going to get worse instead of better; perhaps..."

Find a good, caring doctor, a doctor who is a friend, and follow his advice. Remove your mind from the illness and trust in the One Healer of all creatures, that He will send His healing energy through this doctor. Be confident you will be healed.

And then let your mind rest on good and healthy thoughts that have direction, purpose, and meaning.

A single rose only blooms for 6-8 weeks in a cycle. And by nature, only once a year.

Why do we expect more of ourselves?
..

I have long been fascinated by the cycles of the world. From the seasons, to women's cycles and just life cycles as a whole, nothing in this world continues going nonstop. What really boggles me is that we've created a system, culture, society that teaches us the opposite, and that this is normal. To go every day, all day, all year. One day, this cycle will break too...as it is simply unsustainable. And we will learn to dance with the rhythm once again.

When was the last time you rested? Or took action from a place of excitement, and not simply what was expected of you? Either from yourself or another.

When will we shift from a place of production/consumption to coming back to empty and seeing what really matters to us? Does it take a global pandemic? War? Or maybe just some radical individuals showing us this world is not just what the eye sees.

be you. all of you

There is no one in this world who can tell you how to do it. The "right" way...or the "wrong." It's all just from where you're looking. And nobody is inside of you, except you. So trust yourself. Whether you follow this path, or that one...are part of a religion, business, work force, relationship. That something, or someone, only ever needed you to be you (not them).

Rav Kook says that only when we can all sing our own song will we hear the song of our nation, humanity, and all of creation. We're not waiting for redemption, it's waiting on us...to just be ourself.

home isn't a place. Nor a destination
We're always here. If we just recognize
All that is now
