Elul, Month of: the Hebrew month devoted to repentance and soul-searching in preparation for the High Holy Days; occurs in late summer
Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe) or High Holy Days
October 2-4 & October 11-12, 2024
Elul is the sixth month in the Jewish calendar. A time of prayer and introspection, it is the prelude to the High Holidays: Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
As we approach the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur), we prepare for these holidays during the month of Elul.

Elul is the gateway to the month of judgment and reward
The Chassidic approach to preparing for the High Holidays and the New Year during the month of Elul offers a novel and revolutionary perspective to a time formerly associated with dread, fear and guilt.
The transformational potential of Elul starts with a nudge from G-d, empowering us to do our part. (Based on Likkutei Sichos vol. 19 Shoftim)
