Choices - Rabbi Hannah Elkin

In this week's Shabbat message Rabbi Hannah Elkin comments on the theme of Teshuvah in this week's portion Devarim, in the world today, and in our personal lives. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again, and expecting a different result. One definition of teshuvah is realizing that you are doing the wrong thing again and again, but then choosing to act differently. As the High Holy Days draw closer, we start taking important opportunities to look back on past behavior and wrong choices, and determine to do better moving forward. Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
