In two days, the month of Elul will end.  Five years ago, on the first day of Elul, I described the process of self-assessment.   Today we are 28 days into the 40 day period of determining how we can make our lives- and the lives of others- better.  (You can also search for Elul in the index to the left and see more of my thoughts on this “resolution-making” period.)
