In the beginning of October this year,  the High Holy Days begin for the Jewish people. It is a time of inner work, purification and forgiveness  that lasts for ten days. This work is so important that preparation actually begins 30 days beforehand during the Hebrew month of Elul, which is known as the month of Love. The Hebrew letters are an acronym for the famous phrase, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine” taken from Song of Solomon, 6:3 in the Bible. This phrase is commonly used at weddings but it is really about the Love the Divine has for all of us, that we are in sacred partnership.

 As we go through self evaluation during the month of Elul, we do so with this Divine Love. It helps us discern what we would like to keep in our lives and what we would like to discard.  The daily process of inner reflection which is to be done without guilt is meant to also help us become more aware of our emotions and perceptions, allowing us to eventually have control over them rather than having the emotions and perceptions control us.

Elul begins sundown this year on Sept. 3rd. During our Meditation Circle at that same time, Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, at 7:30 p.m. we will be tapping into the sacred energy of Elul, the month of Love, with the help of AAUriel. Hope you will join us!
