🌅 Elul Has Begun: A Season of Return and Renewal
Today is Day 6 of Elul! Please see our daily Elul blog post featured to the right.
The month of Elul is a sacred invitation—a time when the King is in the field, drawing near to His people. It's a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation as we approach the High Holy Days. Elul calls us to examine our hearts, mend relationships, and realign with our divine purpose.
Each day of Elul offers a fresh opportunity to grow closer to the Lord, to awaken spiritually, and to embrace the joy and peace that come from walking in His ways. Through prayer, introspection, and acts of kindness, we begin the journey of teshuvah—returning to our true selves and to God.
To guide and encourage you through this journey, we're sharing daily blog reflections for every day of Elul. These entries include prayers, insights, and practical steps to deepen your walk and prepare your heart.
A prayer for the month of Elul - To be read daily:
A powerful prayer to recite everyday during the month of Elul by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
Ani L'Dodi V'Dodi Li - I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine - Father in heaven, full of mercy, help me and give me the merit to become closer to You always and especially during the month of Elul. And You with your great mercy will open Your hand of kindness to accept the ones who repent and do Teshuvah and seek closeness to You. So we can continue to rectify all the Tikkunim that are possible by the great powers of Yichudim (Unity) and Kavanot (meditations) of the month of Elul. Father, please help me to be cleansed from the heavens from all of my sins and may I merit to do complete Teshuvah for all of my sins. Father, bless me that I should always find You wherever I seek You, when I am in a high spiritual place or unfortunately also when I spiritually fall to a low place.
Ani L'Dodi V'Dodi Li - I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine - Amen!
You can access each day's reflection using the Daily Elul Blog links featured on the right-hand side of this website. Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another year of renewal, we welcome you to walk this path with intention and hope.
May this Elul be a time of awakening, healing, and joyful return.
