How To Grow in the Month of Elul

When you want to build yourself a new place a fence around the year, around the beginning of the year, and around your head, don't do the wrong things. When we travel by train, it's not good enough to be careful, and it's not good enough to be zealous. Indeed, we have to be careful that we don't get hit by the train. And indeed, we have to be zealous to make sure that we get on the train and we get moving. But when we approach a train platform, the first job we have is to stay on this side of the yellow line to make sure that, god forbid, nothing bad happens. The second job that we have once we've taken care of that first job is crossing that yellow line when the door opens and getting on to becoming the people that we want to become. The time of El is a time where the choker blasts and the Reb is explaining to us first be careful. Stay on this side of the line. Improve in the elements of era. Make a fence around your head. Make a fence around the year. And that will lead us undoubtedly to thriving and growing and becoming something great. [Music]
