An Opportune Time

At the commencement of Elul, the month preceding Rosh Hashanah, we begin to reflect on the year that passed, and on improving our relationship with G-d. The Alter Rebbe, the founder of Chabad, compared the Almighty during the month of Elul to a king who goes out to the field to make himself accessible to all. But it’s our responsibility to take full advantage of this time - after all, soon the King will return to his chambers.
Nitzavim, Elul, King in the Field, Lubavitcher Rebbe

The King reversed the illness in time to avoid surgery. Had the doctors used, as The Rambam would have, the simplest remedy first, surgery would not have even been an option. Reply
