Getting Ready

One of my Rabbeim is Rav Avraham Kahana Shapira zt"l the former chief rabbi and rosh yeshiva of Mercaz HaRav. He was a gadol bi-yisrael and a tzadik. Sometimes when he would come to a simcha the band would start playing מראה כהן. He said "Why do they play that song? זה מפחיד אותי". Yom Kippur is SCARY.

Elul is mamesh mamesh around the corner. SCARRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!

I am ready. Not necessarily to do tshuva but in the sense that I have a lot to do tshuva for. I am not coming sinless and I'll be, like, bored, when everybody else is davening. No, no. Lots of heavy tshuva work to be done. I hope we can go through this process together.

This might help you get in the mood.

[If you are Rechavia this Elul you can be there in person.]
