Elul is coming,,,

Hi,

"It is written (Yirmiyah 4:3), 'Plow a field for yourselves, and do not plant upon thorns.' Therefore, one must remove the bad roots and bad thoughts from his heart before day of judgment on Rosh HaShanah. One should accustom himself all through Elul to the practices of the ten days of Repentance. It is written in Orchot Chaim that all through Elul one should sit before meals and before sleeping and contemplate himself and investigate his actions, to admit his misdeeds during the coming days of repentance."

(Maharil, Yamim Noraim 1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
