At this time of year in our Jewish calendar, we
are in a season of second chances. We are reading Moshe's retelling of the
people's journey through the desert in Deuteronomy, and we are about to enter
into the month of Elul, the month of spiritual preparation for the High Holy
Days. It is also the moment when Moshe went back up the mountain to get the
second set of tablets - the ultimate story of second chances. We are about to
start our own month of reflection and repair - let's see what we can do.
