Return to Self
As we move deeper into autumn, the days grow shorter, inviting us to slow down and turn inward. After the energy and expansiveness of summer, fall is a time to integrate, reflect, and tend to what most needs healing. We are reminded to return to stillness—like trees shedding their leaves—and how to restore balance and prepare for renewal.
In Jewish tradition, the time following the Equinox symbolically aligns with Teshuvah, a sacred practice of “returning”—to the self, to truth, to compassion. Teshuvah is not only about repentance, but about reconnection: making amends where needed, forgiving ourselves, and remembering who we truly are beneath the noise of daily life. It’s an opportunity to realign with integrity and wholeness—both within ourselves and in relationship with others.
