[Avodah] A Wake-Up Call

[R Wolberg]

Today we begin to sound the shofar (some began yesterday) each morning after
shacharis every day, culminating with Rosh Hashana. I see an analogy with a
snooze alarm clock.  

As soon as the alarm clock goes off, many people press the snooze button to
get another few minutes of sleep. A similar idea exists with the shofar
during this month. Elul is like the snooze button. We get thirty extra
minutes of sleep this month (each day is another snooze). But then, we
finally have to wake up on Rosh Hashanah.

 

A guten chodesh.
