Today is Rosh Chodesh Elul, the first day of the 6th Hebrew month - TopicsExpress



          

Today is Rosh Chodesh Elul, the first day of the 6th Hebrew month of the Torahs calendar. The word Elul (אֱלוּל) is said to be an acronym for the phrase, ani le’dodi ve’dodi li (אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי), I am my beloved’s, and my beloved in mine (Song 6:3), to encourage us to return to God, to become full of desire for the Beloved of our soul. We are likened to empty vessels in need of oil, and the call to teshuvah moves us to seek to be filled with the Spirit of God’s love and kindness. Indeed, the Spirit takes us into the desert places to reveal to us our need (Deut. 8:3; Jer. 2:2; Luke 4:1). As Yeshua likewise said, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled (Matt. 5:6).
