(19) And the voice of shofar became increasingly loud. Moses would speak, and God would answer him in thunder.
Excerpt from "Remembering all that is Forgotten" by Rabbi Yitzhak Hutner
"The general, overarching power of the shofar in the history of the Jewish people is that it is in the shofar's power to resurrect traces to make the trace of a thing into the thing itself, to bring the righteous person back to the city through the trace that she left behind.
"It is no one less than Maimonides who says this, when he describes the voice of the shofar declaring, "Wake, you sleepers from your sleep! You who slumber, arouse yourselves from your slumber!" For sleep and slumber are the states in which life is not full existence, but merely a trace. When a sleeping person opens his eyes and wakes, the process is reversed: the trace of life becomes life itself. And this is accomplished by the shofar."
1) What is an identity or passion that you hold back or keep out of your work completely?
2) What challenges prevent you from doing so?
3) What would your job look like if you brought this identity or passion more fully into you work?
4) What is your personal shofar that will motivate you to transform your resolution from an idea to a practice?
