The month of Elul is a time for reflection, a time for t’shuvah, of turning and re-turning to God and to our best selves, in preparation for the Days of Awe. It is time for heshbon hanefesh, examining our hearts and souls. Elul is the time for us to begin to make atonement for the things we wish we had or hadn’t done, and to renew ourselves, to do all we can to get ourselves to change. Elul is a time to turn away from the ways in which we have missed the mark and to make restitution as needed.
Join Rabbi Katy Allen and the Etude writers she has gathered as they share their thoughts and reflections. They include rabbis, environmentalists, regular people, gardeners and poets who provide food for thought during this sacred time of year.
The Earth Etudes are being posted every evening at jewishclimate.org for the month of Elul.
