We are coming from the most extraordinary month of the year and have entered the dullest month of the year. However, this essay argues that the best opportunities grow from the routine ordinary days.

We are given a hundred and twenty years because it takes that long to develop an appreciation for the purpose of life. We can learn to live our lives in relatively few years. But unless we devote time to understanding and serving the purpose of our lives, we are wasting the rest of our time on Earth.

Every Jewish festival celebrates a moment in Jewish history except for the one festival about to come upon us, Shemini Atzeret. It does not celebrate an event that happened, nor is it a celebration of judgment and atonement. It is the only holiday with an eye toward the future. It is the festival of Jewish unity.
If the message of the Sukkah was to eschew the permanence of material life and embrace the holiness of the Mitzvah, it would require four walls. The fact that less than three walls suffice teaches us an important lesson about life. Synthesizing holiness and materialism. Bringing heaven down to earth.
If you are ill, you can be healed, but only if you visit the doctor. We can heal sin through repentance, but only if we stay in contact with G-d.
Why do we not confess on Rosh Hashanah, the day of judgment? Why do we not sound the Shofar on Yom Kippur?
In this essay, we will learn that repentance means regretting an action and seeking forgiveness. Teshuvah means to return. To pivot back to G-d. It is a moment in time that sets up the journey of life.
They hate us. They accuse us of destroying the world in many ways. Are they wrong to say that we have destroyed the world? Yes. Are they right that we can change the world for the better? Yes. G-d gave us that power. We would do well to hear it from our enemies if we refuse to hear it from G-d.
Is it discriminatory to say that we are not just a united nation; we are a nation of one, so interconnected that we are like a single person? Is it Okay to say that Jews are different from everyone else?
