Understanding Elul Day 12- Mini Course. Thank you for joining me on a 29 days journey, as we learn and understand 29 things about the month of Elul. Every day I will post one thing to know about Elul.
Why is the shofar blown during the month of Elul?
מדוע תוקעים בשופר בחודש אלול
The reason the shofar is blown during the month of Elul is to arouse the people to repent. The Rambam (Maimonides) described the sound of the shofar in
Elul as a “wake up call,” a reminder to those who are
“asleep” that it is time to rise up from complacency and travel the
pathways of repentance (Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Teshuvah 3:4).
The Hebrew month of Elul
The Hebrew month of Elul offers us an opportunity to prepare for the High Holy Days ahead. It is a time of introspection. The Torah inspires us to develop our character, Tikkun Middot, becoming
better people by correcting our faults and improving our character.
