Ki Tetze - 2024

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Ki Tetze (כִּֽי־תֵצֵ֥א). Since we are in Elul, we are turning our thoughts toward “The Chagim” or the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. In Israel, there is a phrase “After The Chagim” which is referring to “I’ll do this later.” One of the members of my synagogue at the very end of Simchat Torah / Shemini Atzeret (they are together in Israel) states out loud “Now it is After The Chagim” and everyone chuckles.
