Elul Reflections
Elul Events & Elul Reflections: Elul is the Hebrew month leading up to the Jewish new year, for spiritual preparation. “Elul” stands for “Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li” – “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is to me.” If ever there was an Elul when embodying love for each other and for ourselves was called for, we think this is the time! You can explore these kavannot/intentions and ways to be lifted up on this challenging journey:
- Awaken the soul with Shofar here, by our Baal Tokeiya Phil Korman, or blow shofar in your own practice if you have a shofar.
