the world would not be able to exist without This special gift called TESHUVA. it was created before the world was created because Hashem knew that if it wasn’t first created then everyone would be destined for death many times C”V for various sins
Yom kippur is not about a day of fasting & davening ITS A GIFT GIVEN BY HASHEM, A DAY SET ASIDE JUST FOR TESHUVA (sadly most of us are not on this high level & we are constantly looking at our clocks waiting for that break between musaf & mincha) if we would realize what a gift it is we would appreciate every minute of it & if we had a break in middle we would use it to say tehillim.
ELUL is not the only time for teshuva. the entire year a person should make an accounting on himself & his actions. ELUL is a time to do it even more serious & prepare to face Hashems judgement with no exceptions except to do teshuva for all sins
may we all full-heartedly do teshuva in bein adam l’makom AND bein adam l’chaveiro & may it be accepted by Hashem our loving father & king.
may we all be benched for a ksiva v’chasima tova
