40 Days of T'shuvah. Day 21.

9/7/2020

 
DAY 21
Wednesday, September 9, 2020
Twentieth Day of Elul 5780


We have completed twenty days in our forty-day journey toward t’shuvah. It is a good time to review the work you have done to get to this point and to set your sights on where you wish to go.

Practice for this day:

If you have not done so already, you should start making plans for conversations with people to whom you would like to apologize. You should have those conversations soon.

Review the teachings and your responses to the practices from the first twenty days. If you have not read or completed the practices for some of the days up to this point, or for any of them, do not become discouraged. T’shuvah is a lifelong process. There are many opportunities to begin again. There is no better time to start than right now.

As you look over the teachings, are there any ideas or responses that seem particularly powerful to you? Are there any ideas or feelings you particularly want to remember? Are there any thoughts you have written that you now wish to revise?

Jot down your thoughts here:

As we continue the journey toward t’shuvah, do you wish to make any commitments to goals you would like to achieve by Yom Kippur or beyond?

Jot down your thoughts here:
