Man’s sins encrust him in a layer of spiritual dirt, which prevents him
from standing before the Heavenly Court. Angels of Destruction are
appointed to remove this dirt by shaking him and banging him, a very
painful process (Minchat Yehudah).

One should try to do teshuvah every day, for nobody knows when he will
die.

Hashem has granted us many wonderful gifts. However, we often forfeit
the pleasure gained by doing mitzvot, since we are engulfed in the filth of
sin. The way to remove this dirt is by doing teshuvah.

In Elul, Hashem is like a king who leaves his palace for the fields in order
to spend time with his subjects (Tanya). We do not have a specific day to
celebrate this, for the ultimate place to crown Hashem is not in the fields
but in our hearts.
The proven method of building a relationship with Hashem is through
learning Torah and keeping mitzvot. This enables us to truly feel that “I
have set Hashem before me always.” 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Moadim-EYAL | 2 - A | 18-08-19 | 13:51:55 | SR:-- | Black 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Moadim-EYAL | 2 - A | 18-08-19 | 13:51:55 | SR:-- | Magenta 26347-EYAL-6BOOKS - 26347-Moadim
