Tevet is a Crucible
Tevet 5786 begins at sundown on 12/20/2025.
Tevet is a month where our vices have an opportunity to enslave us. It is the month that corresponds to the Devil card of the tarot, which means also offers us the opportunity to realize that things that we think are binding us, aren’t. It allows us to see that often we bind ourselves to these situations.
It is also the month of the Doreshet, the seeker, which can inspire us to inquire and get curious.

But even during this difficult month, we see that the darkness makes the stars burn brighter in the night sky. And that the Star card, which corresponds with Shevat, can guide our way.
