Elul is profoundly connected to the concept of love—both loving our neighbor who is right in front of us, and awakening an \"awakening from below\" toward Hashem. Through powerful insights and a moving tale of the Baal Shem Tov, Rav Shlomo teaches us why the ultimate request we can make of God—which He will always say yes to—is to ask for more Emunah (faith) and closeness, reminding us that we should never carry our spiritual burdens without inviting our Divine Partner.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7Th1_wOgknzGb2xzac8Gh7ajsYsrx9G5_kPXptQPei4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mMWFj/Mjk1ZDg3NmU4ZDM4/NmVkZmFjNjc4M2U1/YWJmYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
