Torah Across Generations by Rabbi Yitzchak Shurin episodes

  • Rebbi, I Have a Question! 11
    Episode 11: How Do I Get Closer to Hashem?
    SHOW NOTES
    Elul is supposed to be a time of special closeness to Hashem. But what does that actually mean? If Hashem is always available to us, what changes during Elul?
    In this episode, Rabbi Shurin looks at the way Elul was experienced in the Mussar movement and the great European yeshivas, where the month was approached with an intensity that can feel foreign to many of us today. What can we learn from that approach, and how can we make those ideas relevant to a generation that may be building a relationship with Hashem from scratch?

    * How was Elul experienced in the Mussar movement and European yeshivas?
    * Is the traditional emphasis on fear and judgment the right approach for our generation?
    * How can we use Elul to develop a relationship with Hashem based on closeness, trust, compassion, and commitment?
