What is Elul?

• Elul is the twelfth and final month in the hebrew
  calendar.
• It is the month that directly precedes Rosh
  Hashana and Yom Kippur
• Hashem formulates decrees of every kind for the
  coming year.
• Each mans destiny is decreed on this
  awe-inspiring and frightful day.
• Elul is the month to prepare.

Elul History

• When the Israelites travelled in the desert,
  shortly after having received the Torah on Mount
  Sinai, the incident of the Golden Calf
  transpired. Moshe was on the mountain for forty
  days, after which he was informed by Hashem that
  the nation was serving a calf. Moshe descended
  from the mountain and shattered the tablets. That
  event took place on the seventeenth of Tamuz.

What We Do In Elul?

• Teshuva - When we do Teshuva, our souls return to
  the state of innocence that existed before we
  committed the sin.
• Forgiveness - Ask the offended party for
  forgiveness . Without forgiveness from the harmed
  party, G-d will not forgive.
• Shofar - We begin blowing the Shofar at the
  beginning of the month of Elul and continue until
  Rosh Hashana.
• Selichos - Selichos are extraordinary and
  hallowed prayers that are designated for fast
  days, Yom Kippur, and the Ten Days of Repentance.

Yud Gimmel Middos

• During the months of Elul and Tishrei many of the
  prayers, however, center around one central
  theme, that is, the Thirteen Attributes of G-d,
  known as the Yud-Gimmel Middos. Lets learn some
  more about them.
• When Hashem forgave the Jewish nation after Chait
  HaEgel sin of the Golden Calf, G-d told Moshe
  that in every generation.
