[Avodah] Eating Pas Yisrael During Aseres Yemei Teshuva

[Rich, Joel]

2- The distinction, even if real, isn't relevent to the comparison of
pas palter to the original objection about people asking us how we could
post in some tone / on some topic during Elul. "Do you think you're
fooling Hashem?"

-------------------------------------------------------------
IMHO we close to a throwing out of the juice and eating the pits situation. One approach is to view the 10 days as a chance to raise the level of our game in a way such that even if we can't maintain that level all year long, we raise our baseline level somewhat and remind ourselves aspirationally of what we would like to be. I'd humbly suggest that pas yisroel is a fine thing but for most of us not the primary challenge we face in our avodat hashem so by all means do it, but the real question isn't "Do you think you're
fooling Hashem?", it's   "Are you fooling Yourself?"
