A Continuum of Mitzvos By Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser

The gemara in Rosh Hashanah 10a explains that the month of Tishrei is named yerach ha’aisonim – the month of the mighty. Rashi explains there that is because the month of Tishrei is fortified with mitzvos.

Why specifically does the month of Tishrei have so many more mitzvos than any of the other months? It is a month when one literally proceeds from mitzvah to mitzvah, and at the same time that we are preoccupied with the performance of one mitzvah we are already making preparations for the fulfillment of the next mitzvah.

I respect Your words, and after reading some of Your words I have a strong whish to do some Mitzva.
