Shalom. Welcome to the 3rd in our Series on Kabbalah of Teshuva in Elul. Tonight we will learn two types of expertise: One, to run to Hashem, and the Second, how to return. Running and returning is not simply the start and stop, get excited then disinterested, ups and downs of spiritual life. It is becoming master of your path, the subtleties of how to manage the run and the return, the getting closer to Hashem and feeling far from Hashem. This practice is a lifelong skill. It grows with us and gives us a framework to never, God forbid, give up on Hashem, for He is with us, even if we are not with Him.
Looking forward to seeing you tonight.
