Lesson Description

The portion of Nitzavim is always read the week before Rosh Hashanah. This year Michael reveals how the combined portions of Nitzavim-Vayelech provides us with powerful opportunities to eliminate negativity from our lives before Rosh Hashanah through the concept of Teshuvah (repentance) and transform the way we judge others so the Creator will not judge us. We also learn how the negativity we see in our lives is a reflection of the negative actions we performed in this or past lifetimes and how we can remove these blockages from our life. In the portion of Vayelech, Rav Shimon Bar Yochai presents us with the opportunity to connect to the power of the Zohar and the promise that we can follow the path he established for a life free of chaos.
