Days of Awe 5772

These Days of Awe are the time to ask the big questions, the ones we never get around to the rest of the year.  While some people make the effort to ponder and pursue, others find the exercise extremely difficult.

There’s a great way to engage in the self-reflection of tshuvah:  10 Q.  10 Q uses today’s technology in service of Judaism’s best traditions.  For ten days, this brilliant website will send you an intriguing, substantial, open-ended question to consider.  You write your answers and submit them confidentially.  Next year, as the Days of Awe approach, the electronic vault is opened and your own answers are returned to you.  You’ll re-visit them from a year’s perspective. 

No one else sees what you write, but you get to see yourself.  And isn’t that the whole point?
