Why am I doing this?

by Rabbi Alan Litwak


On the bulletin board above my desk, I have a small handwritten card:

Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing this?


Figuring out why we do things, if we are the correct person to do them, and whether this is the correct thing to do, goes a long way towards helping us make necessary changes in WHAT we do.


On Fridays, we post two Elul Thoughts, out of respect for those of us who choose not to look at technology on Shabbat. We wish you a blessed and restful Shabbat and hope you continue finding inspiration in our Elul Thoughts.
