In today’s Talmud pages, Kiddushin 7 and 8, there is a detailed conversation of the minutia of how wedding contracts are written with all of their provisions, conditions, and stipulations. Reading all of this contract talk at the start of Elul brought to mind a conversation from a recent episode of our sister podcast Unorthodox with Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin in which we discussed the personal work that one needs to do to re-up their personal contract with God during the month of Elul. What are the steps that we need to take to prepare before Rosh Hashanah? Listen and find out.
