The Jewish Woman.org: August 22, 2010 | | The Month of Elul |  | The Self Improvement Diet
By Devorah Lifshutz
Anyway, all of this dieting has got me thinking. It’s Elul now, the month when we Jews reevaluate our lives so what does this little tale say about me. There’s a Jewish belief that events in the body can mirror events in the soul. Since I was way off about my corporeal self what did that say about my spiritual self? | | Life Lessons |  | Not Boiling Over
— Learning When Enough is Enough
By Elana Mizrahi
I would hate to think that one day my children will grow up and feel inferior because they can't do something on their own.

By Bracha Goetz
The few brief words I say out loud into the air, I hope are going to be heard by the Cosmic Source of the Universe. And I'm hearing them. So that makes, at least, kind of two of us. But I also am coming to believe that prayers, like a butterfly's fluttering wings, can create vibrations, that can eventually create a full-blown tornado, in some far-flung other place in the world... | | The Month of Elul |  | What is Spirituality?

I am all too familiar with the fragility of birch trees. Our counselors taught us that if we peeled back the thin white paper-like bark of the birch, we would end its life. The power was in our hands... |  | Organizing Your Spiritual Growth

When Rosh Hashanah approaches, our inner critic tends to get louder. "What did you actually do this year? Was it a productive year? Was it a complete waste?" |  | The Month of the Bride
— Elul
Based on the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe
In Song of Songs, which explores the relationship between G-d and Israel through the metaphor of the love between a bride and her groom, we find expressions of both male-initiated and female-initiated love | | Reflections |  | Lessons from a Homeless Man
By Heni Stein
What we found out made my heart sink. This man had been coming there for many years. Always sitting in the same place for most of the day. Always hungry. Always needing. Always maintaining his dignity never asking for anything or saying a word to any patrons... |
