Turning over a new leaf; retuning to the Jew’s source
By the Grace of G-d
[Elul], 5721
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Greeting and Blessing:
...We are now in the very auspicious days of Elul, when the old year is about to give way to the new. This is the time of Teshuvah. "Teshuvah" is usually translated as "repentance," the turning over of a new leaf. It is this and more, for the real meaning of Teshuvah is "return" — return to the source, the source of truth, purity and holiness, the very essence of the Jew, whose soul is truly a part of the Divine above.
Wishing you a Kesivo vachasimo toivo,
With blessing
M. Schneerson
