Blogging is being put on hold

I would like to announce to my rather limited but loyal readership that I am putting my blogging on total hold for the time being. This month, the month of Elul, is a month that Jews from time immemorial have set aside as a time of introspection, of soul-searching, of resolution to make the next year better than this one has been. It is a time when, as Chassidut has us know, there is a G-dly revelation in this world that beckons even to those who would prefer to believe that they are beyond hope. A time for renewed acceptance of our commitment to fulfilling our G-d-given mission on earth.

In this spirit, I have come to the realization that as enjoyable as this blogging exercise may be, it is not what I ought be occupying myself with, at least not at this sublimely holy point in time.

I expect to meet up personally with some of you in the upcoming month. May you and the Jewish people in Israel and abroad be inscribed for a good and sweet year, both materially and spiritually.
