Jewish trade secrets

Would you love to know the secrets of the market, when you can make more with less effort because you are ahead of the game?

Jewish mysticism shares Jewish trade secrets of the upcoming Jewish month of Elul. The last month of the Jewish year, which starts August 28th this year.

High Holidays are well known and popular, but a little less known is the specialty of what comes first. High Holidays take effort. We are in Shule for hours, dressed in our finest, having taken time off from work, etc.

Elul is that time when we can connect and cash in with much less effort.

They say life is all about who you know; business is all about networking. It’s handy to have personal connections to the big stakeholders. Sometimes we get tipped off that a key person is going to be at a local event or somewhere else nearby. An opportunity you can’t miss. Elul is the time when Hashem is readily available, like when the king travels on a journey and people can go out to meet him in the fields.

Thankfully, G-d doesn’t travel with a heavy motorcade, and anyone who wants to can speak with him. All that’s needed is our desire to connect and renew our commitment to him for the future.

There are just 29 days of this special. month, this year from Aug. 28 until Sept. 25, the day before Rosh Hashana.

Let’s take advantage of this special time and be ahead of the game when Rosh Hashanah comes around.
