Wow, another yom hakipourim...

We all need it to live, we need it to survive.
Torah.
We've just finished the ten days of repentance. Have we repented. Do we feel renewed, reborn, refreshed, as we emerge from yom hakipourim?
We have amazing power now. We hold the power to change, not only ourselves and our futures, but others as well. Everything we do, affects others, including ourselves.
As we get ready for succout, and prepare to dwell with HKB'H, should try to perfect the miztvout that we already spend time doing. Work on our kavanout during tefila, how we talk and react to people, and how careful we are with our words and how we spend our time.
It's the small things that lead to big changes.

May we all be zochei (merit) to continue to grow throughout this year and advance closer to HKB'H with all of our efforts and tefilout.

Moadim B'simcha!
