Days of Awe—Awesome Days Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Succot, and Simchat Torah How to make your experience of the High Holidays deeper, more meaningful, and infinitely rewarding Author: Avraham Sutton Publisher: Shamir Inc. Every year, the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) begin on Rosh Chodesh Elul and continue through Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Succot, and Simchat Torah. At this time, Hashem examines and evaluates the deeds of every single human being to determine the future. Each man, woman, and child is assisted and given ample opportunity to awaken to the deepest truths of existence: (1) To know and appreciate that life is a gift granted by Hashem, the Loving Creator. (2) That earth is a school wherein even if we make mistakes, if we are honest and sincerely wish to improve, our misdeeds will not be held against us. (3) That for this purpose Hashem lowered our souls down to earth where there are consequences to every action, for good and for bad. (4) That in this way we would be forced to learn and grow and evolve and actualize our highest potential through our own efforts. Days of Awe—Awesome Days is a psychological manual and spiritual guide-book for achieving maximum soul-connection with the Creator during this period. Through penetrating analysis into the underlying meaning behind the High Holiday prayers, the reader not only understands but feels what these prayers are really about, and why they are so relevant to each and every individual soul alive right now at this very pregnant moment in the history of the world.
