Soul Relationships: An Elul Accounting
In Elul, we are instructed to perform a "Cheshbon HaNefesh, "a soul accounting. Our soul can be conceptualized in terms of relationships with everything… aspects of ourselves, the people around us, and our environment. In this exercise, we will use this framing of "What is my soul's relationship to this?" to measure our progress over the last year.
As we close out Shabbat afternoon over five weeks, beginning with the first Saturday evening in Elul and ending with Motzei Shabbat Shuva, we will do a brief text study and then complete an "accounting" of a category of soul relationships to identify areas of teshuva ("return") as we enter the High Holiday season. We will update the description with texts—stay tuned!

Week 1 (Saturday, September 7): "Inside Out"—An Exploration of the Two Inclinations; Measuring Relationships with Emotions
