Ki Karov Eilecha (Two-Part Round)

From Parashat Nitzavim, one short week before the Days of Awe begin.  This text is important to me because, as I've written about before, the High Holidays have a tendency to call forth a pretty intense dose of perfectionism for me, which doesn't feel helpful on any level.  It's so helpful to be reminded that t'shuvah is not always a matter of effort -- sometimes it's just a matter of assent.
