What do you do while preparing for the chagim? One thing that I like to do is listen to shiurim- it’s preparing (spiritually) while you prepare (physically). It seems like the live ones in my area are never at a good time, but I love the ones you can download and listen to whenever it suits you. And most importantly, pause (like when someone small comes up to you dripping with mystery goodness. Hypothetically speaking, of course!)
Whether you like deep insights or practical how-to work, there are shiurim available for you! Here are some:
- Elul: The sweetness of tikkun hamidot with Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller (requires log-in or free account sign-up)
- Rosh Hashanah insights with Rabbi J. Immanuel Schochet
- The Shofar with Rabbi Eli Mansour
- Eruv tavshillin with R’ Don Blumberg
- Sarah and Channa (Torah and Haftara readings for Rosh Hashana with Rabbi Joshua Maroof
Here are some general sites to go search for shiurim that speak to you…sorry, that pun was intended… (Whenever possible, the link is to the appropriate page):
- Naaleh
- Daily Halacha (Sephardic resources especially)
- Judaism online
- Aish
- Chabad
- Torah.org: Elul/Rosh Hashanah and 10 days/Yom Kippur
