This is a true story that happened last week in Iceland, I heard it from my first cousin who is the director of Chabad in Reykjavik:
A group of tourists spent hours Saturday night looking for a missing woman near Iceland's Eldgja canyon, only to find her among the search party. The group was travelling through Iceland on a tour bus and stopped near a volcanic canyon. At the stop, there was word of a missing passenger. The woman, who had changed clothes, didn't recognize the description of herself and joined in the search. But the search was called off at about 3 am when it became clear the missing woman was, in fact, accounted for and searching for herself.
We are in the Hebrew month of Elul, right before Rosh Hashana. It’s a time for reflection. It’s a time for looking for ourselves, our inner selves. Our soul.
Some may feel lost. But we are never truly lost. We simply need to (re-)connect to our deeper truth, our spiritual dimension, our soul.
Let's utilize this precious month of Elul to find ourselves and arrive to the High Holidays of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, well prepared. May we all have a good and sweet year,
Ktiva vachatima tova,
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Mendel Hendel
