Today, the 25th of Elul, is the start of the creation of the world. It culminates on Rosh Hashana with the creation of human beings.
Take a moment each day during these days preceding Rosh Hashana to close your eyes and then slowly open them to notice the details of beauty that surrounds you in a new way. Envision how you want to see the world and remember- what you put your attention on grows...
On Rosh Hashana, when the shofar is blown, our life force is being blown back into us (and with it free choice enters the world) as we are created anew with absolute love. The Baal Shem Tov teaches us that our avos brought our deepest desire into the world and etched it into our DNA- oneness with Hashem. In that moment of shofar- as He lovingly gives us our life- we can step into our deepest desire and offer all that we are back to Him.
