The life of Elul.

Chai Elul adds the life to Elul. Not growth, not elevation, but life. The addition of Chai Elul to the previous days of the month of Elul is like a breath of life to a dead object, it’s a total transformation and renewal.

The birth of a baby is awe inspiring, you look into the eyes of a baby and you know that you are staring at a miracle. You may ask: why is a baby so amazing? Don’t you see people all day? Weren’t these people babies once upon a time? When did their life loose its awesomeness?

Somehow even life itself can looses its ”life” if it is not experienced as a new burst of energy. Being alive yesterday is not enough for today. You must bring life to Elul. Discover something so revolutionary that you never felt before, then and only then are you alive.
