Dear Friend,  

 

The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are known as the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, days when we dedicate time to grow closer to Hashem, to repent and return. We are provided with a remarkable canon of halachic and hashkafic works which guide us during this auspicious period. These messages are echoed by contemporary psychologists who use modern language to convey these timeless ideas. This collection of essays expounds on the nexus of Torah and psychology to provide us with tools to build and repair our relationship with Hashem, others and ourselves, to inspire growth and direct our prayers heavenward.    

 

The OU Women's Initiative is deeply grateful to Yitzchok and Barbie Lehmann Siegel and an anonymous donor for their generous support of this project. Thank you to the Women's Initiative commission chairs, Miriam Greenspan and Nomi Rotblat for their leadership and dedication. Thank you to the talented mental health professionals for their erudite observations and insights. Finally, I express my appreciation to the Women's Initiative team, Adeena Mayerfeld, Nechama Epstein, Rachel Miller and Shoshana Rapps, the Mr. Saul Bernstein OU Women's Initiative Summer Intern, for their efforts in putting this meaningful collection together. 

 

I hope that this gift from the OU Women's Initiative provides you with inspiration and strength during this auspicious time of year. May Hashem grant us a year filled with good health, happiness and holiness in a restored world.
