Elul – Preparing for The Days of Awe
Elul is a month of preparation. It’s a month to continue healing from Av, but mostly it’s about preparing for the Yamim Noraim (ים נוראים) – The Days of Awe. The symbol of the month is Cattle, which I guess we could interpret a lot of different ways, but I want to offer a specific interpretation for the PunkTorah community in preparing for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot (aforementioned Days of Awe).
Mini Manifesto:
Spirituality: My primary lens is progressive Jewish spirituality, but I also like to find the universal elements that connection us all.
Culture: I am fascinated by both culture on most levels. I mostly focus on American culture and what makes us who we are as a country, but I'm also intrigued by sub-cultures in the USA and the growing global cultural trends.
Technology: Technology is one of the strongest drivers of cultural and even spiritual changes in the last 100 years, and possibly the next 100.
