Neurotic About Elul, and in Recent Years About Av Too. What Will Be??
Question
Under the influence of the mashgiach, I used to get all worked up about Elul—worried that my repentance wasn’t being done properly.
In the rush of life, I now get all worked up about Av—worried that the vacation house isn’t being done properly.
Maybe it’s possible to calm down, and not everything has to be perfectly exact?
Answer
That’s a question for a psychologist. Find yourself someone like that and chill out (as HaGashash HaHiver used to say).
