Ellul countdown. Last week I linked to
a wonderful commentary on Psalm 27 which can be used as a guide to self-examination during
the month of Ellul, leading up to and preparing for the
Yamim Nora'im. (As part of our spiritual preparation we recite this psalm everyday from the first of Ellul through
Hoshanah Rabbah.) You don't have to be Jewish, or even religious, to find this moving and useful.
I have divided Psalm 27 into four sections with the thought in mind that you might like to concentrate on one section during each of the four weeks of Elul, as you prepare for your own teshuvah. I have correlated these four sections to four steps of repentance.
Last week:
Responsibility.This week:
Regret.
