What if the person you’re becoming is someone you never intended to be? Before Rosh Hashanah, Elul asks us to open the books—and tell the truth.
In “There’s Still Time,” Rabbi Damian Eisner brings an unexpected guest into the High Holidays: Ebenezer Scrooge. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol becomes a powerful invitation to cheshbon hanefesh, the accounting of the soul.
What remains unsettled between you and God? What would your family say about you when you’re not in the room? Are you still paying interest on a hurt someone else caused?
Through tefilah (prayer), tzedakah (charity), and teshuvah (repentance), we examine our past, face what our lives are producing today, and consider the legacy we’re building. Along the way, we explore Yeshua’s call to repair relationships, the cost of rehearsing resentment, and why releasing an old debt doesn’t require restoring trust.
You are what you repeat. But the course can still change.
As we prepare for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the invitation is clear: make the phone call. Offer the apology. Take the next faithful step.
