Today we welcome back Rabbi Pilachowski to the Garden for a deep dive into the month of Elul and the holidays that follow. We unpack what all the hype is about, why this month is so talked about, and the real truth behind what Elul is meant to be.

We talk about Rosh Hashanah and how it differs from the “regular” New Year, the meaning behind the simanim (yes, apples and honey included), the power of the shofar, and what this day is really about. Then we shift into Yom Kippur, and discover how what feels like the most dreaded day on the Jewish calendar is actually one of the most uplifting and happiest days of the year.

Together, we explore the tools we need to enter these chagim with intention, and how to carry our goals forward so they aren’t just short-lived resolutions but lasting transformations for the year ahead.
