Shabbat Shuvah - The Shabbat of Return שׁוּבָה יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ Return, O Israel, to the Eternal your G!d. (Hosea 14:2)
This Shabbat is Shabbat Shuvah, the Shabbat of Return (שבת שובה) and refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance, and is between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The name Shabbat Shuvah comes from the first word of the Haftarah from the verse above that comes from the prophet Hosea 14:2–10.
We are currently in the very auspicious days called "The Ten Days of Teshuva (repentance/return)." Most people associate Teshuva with a melancholy and even sad process. In truth, Teshuva is the most joyous process since it represents the essential connection our soul has with the Infinite Divine. Read More Here
