Days of Awe refers to the 10 days between/including
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish
New Year, and
Yom Kippur. Also known as the
Ten Days of Repentance, this is a time for
contemplation and re-evaluation of self.
The three keys to achieving this are as
dimpster says:
Teshuva,
Tefilla,
Tzedaka.
- Teshuva
Turning inwards, focusing on onesself and ones actions, assessing which laws one has transgressed, where one has gone astray. - Tefilla
Turning upwards, acknowledging a Higher Being and asking for forgiveness, acceptance. - Tzedakah
This is not just charity in the literal sense. Turning outwards to fellow people, demonstrating goodness and pure intentions with concrete examples.
