The One Question You Need to Ask Before Elul Ends

What is Elul really asking of us?

We usually enter this month thinking about what needs to be fixed. Which habits need to change. Which aveiros need to stop. All of that matters. But Rav Adin Steinsaltz offers us a much bigger question:

האם אני עליתי למעלה

Have I actually gone higher?

Through the lives of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov, Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David discover three movements that have to exist in a Jewish life: the courage to begin something new, the strength to keep going after the excitement disappears, and the willingness to begin again rather than remain where we were.

And underneath all of it is perhaps the deepest question of Elul: I may believe in Hashem, but do I actually trust Him?

Because if I trust Him, then I can start walking.
