R. Avi Strausberg on Rosh Chodesh Elul: What Does Torah Offer Us This Year?
Manage episode 437943709 series 3229919
Back in Elul of 2023, when I began this year of writing Divrei Torah for the holidays, we didn’t know what devastation lay ahead. In retrospect, each of the Divrei Torah I’ve written this year can be read in light of the events of October 7th. Each holiday celebrated, every encounter with Torah is refracted through the lens of the last eleven months. If there has been a theme that has tied all of this Torah together it is: How do we observe and mourn and celebrate our holy days in light of a continually unfolding tragedy that plagues our people and the people in Gaza? Or, perhaps: Is Torah equipped to help us make sense of such devastation and what meaning can we glean from Torah in this period of violence and loss?
