Dear Family,

I hope that everyone is well.

We are now in the 10 days of TESHUVAH between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. (The Hebrew word for teshuvah means RETURN. Ie finding our way back to the land of our soul, which naturally wants to fulfil Hashem's commandments)

And as we head towards Yom Kippur, we have been hearing so many facets on the meaning of Teshuvah and how to do it practically.

One of these (a beautiful vort), came up in today's Hayom Yom:

"Veahavta lereechah kamocha - Love your fellow as yourself.

The Alte Rebbe taught that this love is an instrument, to "Love the Eternal your G-d"

This is explained by the statement "Whoever is pleasing to man, is pleasing to G-d." - Pirkei Avot 3:10

This SERVICE OF TESHUVAH stems from a GOOD HEART."

Wishing everyone a Gmar Chasima Tovah for a Good, Sweet and Healthy Year, and a meaningful Yom Kippur
