Ki Tavo Haftorah - Parshah
Ki Tavo Haftorah - Parshah:
Isaiah
Chapter 60
"18. Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither robbery nor destruction within your borders, and you shall call salvation your walls and your gates praise."
Pull together on gates praise.
Psalms = praise
49 (50) gates of repentance
Each Psalm opens a gate, for the person who doesn't know his or her gate of repentance reading Psalms is recommended by our Sages. The Bal Shem Tov recommends 3x day starting with the 1st of Elul, which this year is the same day in September, making it incredibly easy to know which Psalms to read, you can look at the calendar today is the 23rd of Sept and the 23rd of Elul, multiply 23 x 3 (Psalms a day) and you get 69 which is the last in the 3 count for today, 67, 68, 69.
