Elul is an opportunity to get closer to God, to our “Dodi”, our Beloved. Elul is an acronym for the verse – אני לדודי ודודי לי, and is a time for introspection – how can we return to ourselves? How can we get closer to our neshama and God during this time?
Rav Micha Hyman dives deeper into the concept of Teshuva, and how the time of Elul is connected to the deeper aspects of Teshuva.
