Lesson Description

The seven days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the soil for the blessings of the upcoming year. The Zohar teaches that connection to the Creator depends on a truthful desire to draw close to the Light. Eitan explains that instead of fixing, covering, or judging uncomfortable feelings, we should recognize that the Creator's endless Light is present even inside the ache and discomfort. That's the spiritual work that plants the seeds for the entire year ahead.
