In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to get caught up in minutiae and marvel at how time passes much too quickly. But one of the beautiful things of the month of Elul is to consciously use time for reflection, introspection and preparation in advance of the "Days of Awe" between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Many people have the custom to have their mezuzahs and
tefillin checked during the month of Elul by a certified, experienced
sofer
("scribe"), an expert in
STaM
: Sefer Torah, tefillin and mezuzah.
Chabad of Hackensack is proud to host a traveling Sofer in Hackensack, avaialble for one day only: September 13th, 12-7pm.
Bring your Tefillin or Mezuzot for same day check!
