Elul: Time to Take Stock | The Spiritual Accounting That Can Change Your Year Rabbi Mendel Kaplan Aug 12, 2026 #Elul #JewishWisdom #Teshuvah Elul is more than a month of preparation—it is a time for spiritual accounting. Just as a successful business takes stock of what is profitable and what needs to change, Elul invites us to examine our own lives: our Torah and mitzvot, our kindness, compassion, generosity, and the way we treat others. Every descent can become the beginning of a greater ascent when we use it to grow, refine ourselves, and bring more G-dliness into the world. In this timely reflection, Rabbi Mendel Kaplan explores how taking an honest spiritual inventory can help us enter the new year with greater clarity, purpose, and blessing—and how the small lights we kindle through every mitzvah can ultimately help illuminate the world with the light of Redemption. #Elul #JewishWisdom #Teshuvah #RoshHashanah #Torah #Mitzvot #JewishInspiration #SpiritualG...
