What if Elul isn't a month for judging ourselves—but an invitation to come home?

In this special Elul episode, we explore one of the most beautiful teachings of Chassidut: “The King is in the Field.” Before the High Holidays, the King leaves His palace and comes out to meet us exactly where we are.

And there is an even deeper message: the King isn't only in the field around us. He is within us.

We are the field—full of possibility, growth, seeds waiting to be planted, and new life waiting to emerge.

Through the sound of the shofar, the 13 Attributes of Mercy, the meaning of Teshuvah, and the beautiful words Ani LeDodi VeDodi Li, this conversation invites us to experience Elul in a new way.

Not as a time to criticize ourselves.

Not as a time to become consumed by our mistakes.

But as a time to pause, reflect, reconnect, and remember who we truly are.

This is an invitation to breathe, listen, reflect, grow, and begin again.

The King is in the field. And He is waiting for us.
