Now that Rosh Hashana is over are you going back to your old ways?
September 8, 2013 3:42 am at 3:42 am #974227notedaskanMemberHopefully not… But I will do whatever it takes to at least keep the change till after Yom Kippur.

Let’s hope not. However change is a process it doesn’t happen in a day or even in 10 days.

September 8, 2013 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #974232147ParticipantI have already returned to my old ways of not observing Tekias Shofor after Schacharis which I had been performing for an entire month.

September 12, 2013 3:06 am at 3:06 am #974235SanityIsOverratedParticipantGoing back to your old self after R”H would be like proclaiming Hashem your King, then not doing your duty as His creation. The holidays are like a step by step process for us. -Elul, realize we’re about to proclaim Hashem our King. -R”H Hashem is who we serve. -AYT with Hashem as our King, we better measure up. He decides our fate based on our behavior. -YK is a day to really cleanse ourselves so we can serve our King better. -Sukkos is where we demonstrate our faith in our King. We live in huts simply because He said so.
The Creator of the universe is our King! I hope we can measure up.
