Month of Elul and

Significance: Time of reflection leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

Customs: Blowing the shofar (ram’s horn); asking people for forgiveness; reciting penitential .

The month of Elul is a time of repentance in preparation for the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Tradition teaches that the month of Elul is a particularly propitious time for repentance. This mood of repentance builds through the month of Elul to the period of Selichot, to Rosh Hashanah, and finally to Yom Kippur. The name of the month (spelled Alef-Lamed-Vav-Lamed) is said to be an acronym of “Ani l’dodi v’dodi li,” “I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine,” a quote from Song of Songs 6:3, where the Beloved is G-d and the “I” is the Jewish people. In Aramaic (the vernacular of the Jewish people at the time that the month names were adopted), the word “Elul” means “search,” which is appropriate, because this is a time of year when we search our hearts. According to tradition, the month of Elul is the time that Moses spent on Mount Sinai preparing the second set of tablets after the incident of the golden calf (Ex. 32; 34:27-28). He ascended on Rosh Chodesh Elul and descended on the 10th of Tishri, at the end of Yom Kippur, when repentance was complete. Other sources say that Elul is the beginning of a period of 40 days that Moses prayed for G-d to forgive the people after the Golden Calf incident, after which the commandment to prepare the second set of tablets was given.

Customs of Elul

During the month of Elul, from the second day of Elul to the 28th day, the shofar (a hollwed out ram’s horn) is blown after morning services every weekday. The shofar is not blown on Shabbat. It is also not blown on the day before Rosh Hashanah to make a clear distinction between the rabbinical role of blowing the shofar in Elul and the biblical mitzvah to blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. Four blasts are blown; tekiah, shevarim-teruah, tekiah. Rambam explained the custom of blowing shofar as a wake-up call to sleepers, designed to rouse us from our complacency. It is a call to repentance. The blast of the shofar is a very piercing sound when done properly. Elul is also a time to begin the process of asking forgiveness for wrongs done to other people. According to Jewish tradition, G-d cannot forgive us for sins committed against another person until we have first obtained forgiveness from the person we have wronged. This is not as easy a task as you might think, if you have never done it. This process of seeking forgiveness continues through the Days of Awe. Many people visit cemeteries at this time, because the awe-inspiring nature of this time makes us think about life and death and our own mortality. In addition, many people use this time to check their mezuzot and tefillin for defects that might render them invalid.

Selichot

As the month of Elul draws to a close, the mood of repentance becomes more urgent. Prayers for forgiveness called selichot are added to the daily cycle of religious services. Selichot are recited in the early morning, before normal daily shacharit service. They add about 45 minutes to the regular daily service. Selichot are recited from the Sunday before Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur. If Rosh Hashanah begins on a Monday or Tuesday, selichot begins on the Sunday of the week before Rosh Hashanah, to make sure that there are at least 3 days of Selichot. The first selichot service of the holiday season is usually a large community service, held around midnight on Motzaei Shabbat (the night after the sabbath ends; that is, after nightfall on Saturday). The entire community, including men, Continued on page 4

REGO PARK JEWISH CENTER BULLETIN Page 3 Continued from page 3

women and older children, attend the service, and the rabbi gives a sermon. The remaining selichot services are normally only attended by those who ordinarily attend daily shacharit services in . A fundamental part of the selichot service is the repeated recitation of the “Thirteen Attributes,” a list of G-d’s thirteen attributes of mercy that were revealed to Moses after the sin of the golden calf (Ex 34:6-7); Ha-shem [1], Ha-shem [2], G-d [3], merciful [4], and gracious [5], long suffering [6], abundant in goodness [7] and truth [8], keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation [9], forgiving iniquity [10] and transgression [11] and sin [12], who cleanses [13]. Why is “Ha-shem” listed twice as an attribute? And why are three of these “attributes” Names of G-d? Different names of G-d connote different characteristics of G-d. The four-letter Name of G-d (rendered here as “Ha-shem”) is the Name used when G-d is exhibiting characteristics of mercy, and the Talmud explains that this dual usage indicates that G-d is merciful before a person sins, but is also merciful after a person sins. The third attribute is a different Name of G-d that is used when G-d acts in His capacity as the almighty ruler of nature and the universe. The first Selichot service will be held around midnight on the following day of the secular calendar:

Jewish Year 5777: midnight September 16/17, 2017

Elul in Jewish history

1 Elul - Moses ascends Sinai for 3rd 40 days (1313 BCE) 1 Elul - The Prophet Haggai commands that the rebuilding of the Second Temple continue (520 BCE) 2 Elul - Shulchan Aruch published (1555) 5 Elul - Ezekiel the prophet has a prophecy of the destruction of the first temple 10 Elul - Noah dispatches raven (2105 BCE) 12 Elul - Birth of Nachmanides (1294) 13 Elul - Death of Ben Ish Chai (1909) 17 Elul - Noah dispatches dove (2105 BCE) 18 Elul - Death of Maharal (1609) 18 Elul - Birth of Baal Shem Tov (1698) 18 Elul - Birth of rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745) 23 Elul - Dove brings olive Leaf to Noah (2105 BCE) 24 Elul - Death of Chafetz Chaim (1933) 25 Elul - The 1st day of Creation (3761 BCE) 25 Elul - Jerusalem Walls Rebuilt (335 BCE)

Our Breakfast Club Learn In members have studied all these Talmudic sages the last season.

Elul is the month that begins back to back and ends face to face. At the beginning of the month we are unaware of the reality that “I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me.” However, by working on ourselves during this month, by being willing to turn around and make changes, we come to realize that our Creator has never had His back turned. He has always been facing us, and just waiting for us to turn around. And once we do, we are then like two lameds that are face to face, which form the Jewish heart and which are the essence of the month of Elul.

May we be blessed with the ability to tap into the powers of the month of Elul, to recognize and reveal our ability to both learn and teach, and through that, to come face to face with ourselves, with our loved ones and with our Creator, as we are taught through the Jewish heart.
