Not ready? Not healed? Not whole? And Rosh Hashanah is in 1 week? Now what? 1 week before Rosh Hashanah and the Torah opens with two words, Ki Savo. When you come, [music] not when you are perfect, not when you have it all together, when you come [music] with whatever you have left. Itzhak Perlman, the greatest violinist of his generation, contracted polio at 4 years old, >> [music] >> walked with crutches his whole life, and he said something powerful. Sometimes it's the artist's [music] task to find out how much you can make with what you have left. That is Rosh Hashanah. That is Elul. You don't need all four strings. You just need to show up because somewhere right now someone is putting down the bottle or finally telling the truth or [music] just getting out of bed this morning, and that is their Ki Savo. That is their arrival, and that's enough. Ki Savo, >> [music] >> come however you come. This is turning the wheel because the road to healing isn't straight, but no one should have to travel it alone. Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos. >> I will leave the light [singing] on. >> [music] [singing]
