Jumping the Barricades: A Kindertransport Boy, a King’s Compassion, and the Courage to Ask
Rabbi YY Jacobson
The month of Elul is a time when Hashem feels close, accessible, and compassionate, yet we often stand back behind inner barriers of fear, shame, and distance. This story is a call to spiritual boldness: leap past the barricades, show up raw and real, and ask to be reunited — with Hashem, with your truest self, and with everything your heart has been missing.
