The month of Elul is a special season in the Jewish calendar, a time when the Jewish people begin preparing their hearts for the great biblical feasts that lie ahead. It is a month associated with drawing near to God, repentance, forgiveness, and preparation for an encounter with Him. 

​

Elul is also connected in Jewish tradition with the words of Song of Songs 6:3, “I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.” It is a beautiful picture of a love relationship between God and His people.
