It's coming up. If you are interested in a month of introspection in preparation for the holiday, respond here!! Or, if you can email me at judaism@bellaonline.com

here we go..... I do not have my calendar in front of me ... but I believe the month of Elul - the month preceding the High Holidays - begins on August 7th. So, right around the corner. It is traditionally an introspective month, and I'd love to enter that month with our BellaOnline Judaism community.

Elul is here. Are you being introspective?

There is a custom to hear the shofar blasts every day during the month of Elul - excluding Shabbat.
