Put a Little Love in Your Heart: An Elul Meditation

 Dear Friends, As I write this blog, we are less than two weeks away from the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. In the month which precedes the new year which is called Elul, we begin our preparation for the new year with reflection and contemplation about our lives and changes we wish to make in the coming year. Recently, while traveling and listening to satellite radio, I heard that it was Jackie DeShannon's 83rd birthday.  One of my favorite songs when I was younger and even today is the following: Put a Little Love in Your Heart Song by Jackie DeShannon Overview Lyrics Listen Other recordings Artists Composers Lyrics Think of your fellow man (today, she might say person) Lend him  (today she might say them)  a helping hand Put a little love in your heart You see it's getting late Oh, please don't hesitate Put a little love in your heart And the world will be a better place And the world will be a better place For you and me You just wait and see Another day goes by Still
