Elul, the Jewish month leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, is a time of reflection,
soul-searching, and repentance. Even before we reach the holy days designated for new beginnings and atonement,
Jews prepare to undertake tshuva, asking forgiveness both from our peers and from God. Each day in Elul, except
for shabbat, we blow the shofar to awaken our slumbering consciences and reach out to God, who is held to be
remarkably close and receptive to prayers during these weeks of spiritual preparation.
