D'var Torah ArchiveHead into Elul with purpose. Arrive at Yom Kippur with merits.
Join a group of men dedicated to spiritual growth.
Here is your step-by-step mission:
When you sign up, you will be assigned to a specific personalized "Tehillim Track." Your responsibility is to start on the portion of Tehillim corresponding to your Track #. Then you will continue progressing daily through the remainder of Tehillim portions until Yom Kippur.
You are responsible for sharing one D'var Torah with the group. It can be on any topic and any length - the goal is to share a thought that helps the rest of us grow. You can submit your D'var on the website or by email to MensElulChavura@gmail.com.
You will give Tzedaka one time during the program. You pick the amount and the cause.
Your D'var Torah and your Tzedaka are both due on the same specific day, which is determined by your assigned Tehillim Track.
This program relies on you. You have an individual responsibility to hit your marks; if you don't do your daily Tehillim, that day’s collective completion is affected.
Since we operate as a unit, the merits of one are shared by all. The entire Sefer Tehillim is completed collectively every single day, a new D'var Torah is shared and Tzedaka is given every single day. By Yom Kippur you will also have personally completed the entire Sefer Tehillim.
Absolutely! The Chavura welcomes Jewish men of all backgrounds. Ask questions and be supported through the whole journey.
We all start on Rosh Chodesh Elul (Alef) and end on Yom Kippur. For this year we will start on Thursday, August 13 and end on Monday, September 21.
This depends on the individual. We have found that completing each daily Tehillim assignment should average approximately 7 minutes. Reading D'var Torahs is done at your own pace.
This is a personal choice. You are welcome to recite Tehillim in any language you are comfortable with. For further guidance we encourage you to speak with your LOR.
We are not particular about this (Hebrew vs. secular calendar). The aim of the program is for each person to complete their daily Tehillim assignment so the sefer is completed collectively each day.
Your personal Tehillim Track assignment will be accessible to you from the website. You will begin reciting Tehillim along with everyone else on Rosh Chodesh Elul (Alef) from your starting portion and continue progressing daily through the specific rotation of your track #.
No. You start saying Tehillim on Rosh Chodesh Elul (Alef).
No. You say a different portion of Tehillim every day. The schedule you follow is listed on your Track sheet.
You can upload it directly onto the website under the "D'var Torahs" tab at the top or you can email it to MensElulChavura@gmail.com.
Yes.
You will give Tzedaka one time on the same day your D'var Torah is due, to any cause and any amount. If you would like, you can let us know what cause you gave to.
