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.
