The month of Virgo—Elul in the kabbalistic calendar—is traditionally a time for us, once again, to take on the practice of teshuvah. While the word is often associated with “repentance,” its true meaning is the idea of “return.” Teshuvah is about returning to our truest selves, realigning with the Light of the Creator, and preparing our vessel to welcome the start of the new year at Rosh Hashanah.
