Daily Dose
Everything Man is given comes in a finite package.
Even the tablets Moses carried down
from Mount Sinai were defined and bounded.
And so, when G-d saw Moses mourning over
 the broken tablets, He said, "Your powers were focused
 when you smashed the tablets. For now you will receive
 a Torah you may extend wider than the sea."
When Man fails, he shatters the treasures
G-d has put in his trust. But then he cries and
 picks up the shards to restore what he has ruined.
 That is when he discovers that G-d Himself was
 hidden inside. He discovers the Infinite.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman





Growing Each Day: (Excerpts):
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
If you return, O Israel ... you shall return unto Me (Jeremiah 4:1).
Elul, a period of time which is particularly propitious for teshuvah,
for it precedes Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment.
The Sages say that the Hebrew letters of the word Elul, form an acrostic
for the verse in Song of Songs: I am devoted to my Lover and He is devoted
to me (6:3). Song of Songs utilizes the relationship between a bridegroom and
his betrothed to depict the relationship between God and Israel. Any separation
between the two causes an intense longing for one another, an actual "lovesickness" (ibid. 2:5).
The love between God and Israel is unconditional. Even when Israel behaves in a manner
 that results in estrangement, that love is not diminished. Israel does not have to restore God's love,
because it is eternal, and His longing for Israel to return to Him is so intense that at the first sign
that Israel is ready to abandon its errant ways that led to the estrangement, God will promptly embrace it.
Song of Songs depicts the suffering Israel as sustained at the hands of its enemies,
and we can conclude that the Divine distress at this suffering of His beloved Israel is great.
 Teshuvah is a long process, but all that is needed for the restoration of the ultimate relationship
 is a beginning: a sincere regret for having deviated from His will, and a resolve to return.
Today I shall ...
.. seek to restore my personal relationship with G-d by dedicating myself to teshuvah.
