Why is God Hiding from Us, Elul and Rosh Hashanah

When mankind arrives in the world, life begins. And so, Rashashana marks the beginning of life. The beginning of the story of mankind, which is the real story of life. Life begins with us. On the first day of life, God was here in a revealed way. And it's the connection that they existed on that first day of life. It was very clear to Adam and Eve in the very beginning that life meant a life where we're here and God is here. And that's real life today. That reality is hidden from us on at least in in a way to feel it and we actually see it. But that doesn't mean that that reality changed. Reality is and life really is a life that's us in God's world together. That's real life. But things block that from us. Things confuse us. Things cause us to feel at least from our perspective distant from Hashem. The truth is Hashem never really goes anywhere. The real question is where are we? Not where is Hashem? Hashem is hiding. Sure, on one level, but he's here to be found when you look. And if you don't find when you look, so you're supposed to look a little bit harder. And so God is here. He never left. But he is hiding, which creates a challenge for us. If you work to find him, you will. And if you don't work to find him, then you'll go through life thinking that he's not here and miss out on all what you can gain from realizing that this is not a world that that God left. It's a world that God put into our hands to see what we will do when he hides.
