Tishrei

Another name for Tishrei is Yerech Ha’eitanim, the “Month of the Mighty.” It’s our opportunity to access the vast spiritual reserves available only during the special holidays of this month. Now that we’re at the end of the month, we bring closure to this special time by remembering that the power of these holy days penetrate into the coming year in accordance with how we feel and what we want.

The Baal Shem Tov taught that wherever your thoughts are, that’s where you really are. Although the holidays have passed, they are never truly gone. In Breslov we say that the holidays don’t pass by, they go in. The more we focus on living the message of each holiday, the more we will feel their influence throughout the coming days and months.

Please help me to stay connected to the beautiful light of these holy days!

The deeper works reveal that the days from now all the way until Chanukah, are exceedingly elevated due to their proximity to the festivals of Tishrei. How close we stay depends only on how much we keep them in our minds.
