In this episode, we talk about…a month. No, that’s not the episode's length; that is its topic. Specifically, the month of Elul (I know, I know…trust me, the episode is much more interesting than it sounds).

We discuss:

  • Elul’s significance as a time for reflection before Rosh Hashana

  • The month’s biblical origins

  • What does the “King in the Field” have to do with Elul

  • The importance of the concept of אני לדודי ודודי לי, or I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine

  • Personal struggles with spiritual practice

    • Then, we transition to this week's Torah portion, where we discuss the story of how Jacob obtained Esau’s birthright in exchange for a bowl of soup.

    We also cover the all-important topic of what a Shonda transliteration is.
