Chodesh Tov!
Tonight is Rosh Chodesh Elul, a time of internal reflection, as the last month in the Hebrew calendar encourages us to prepare for the new year.
This is also the month when families begin preparing for the start of a new school year. It is not an easy time in any year – as we are called on to make all sorts of changes to our routines – but this year more than ever, Elul asks a lot of us in terms of preparation.
