Anyone need change?

I am President of the Niles Township Clergy Association. We had a goodbye breakfast for4 retiring Christian colleague. When it cam, time to pay the bill, the waitperson said "anyone need change." Normally, nothing special. But a few days before our penitential payer service selihote, it added extra meaning. Yes, we need to change.
The torah portion includes
"And it will be, when all these things come upon you the blessing and the curse which I have set before you that you will consider in your heart, among all the nations where the Lord your God has banished you, 2. and you will return to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul, and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you this day you and your children,
verse 30:3. then, the Lord, your God, will bring back your exiles, and He will have mercy upon you. He will once again gather you from all the nations, where the Lord, your God, had dispersed you" This small section has the root word of repentance, Shoove, several times-to remind us about chnaging just before selihote?
Mattel is recalling million more toys taint with excessive lead. The word for recall should have the root shoove in it too. We need to recall the excessively tainted part of ourselves and send out a revised, better verson.
