"A 'love' relationship requires preparation" - Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff 

Summary:
We are currently in the Jewish month of Elul on the Hebrew Calendar. 
- Question: Why are there no holidays in the month of Elul?
- Answer: Because Elul is the month of preparation. Elul is the month that prepares us for Rosh Hashanah.

In this video, Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff explains that we have a “love” relationship with our Creator. If we want to cultivate such a relationship, it takes effort. 

The 30 days of Elul are a gift from G-d. Let us use them to prepare and cultivate ourselves and get ready for a sweet new year.
