ROSH CHODESH ELUL! CHODESH TOV! ♥️
The King (G-D) is in the Field!
"Ani L'Dodi V'Dodi Li" - Shir HaShirim 6:3
( "I Am My Beloved's And My Beloved is Mine" - Song of Songs 6:3)
ELUL is the last month of the Jewish year and the final month prior to Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. This is a month in which to spiritually prepare for the High Holiday season of reflection and repentance.
Elul is traditionally a time of introspection and personal stock-taking, known in Hebrew as CHESHBON HANEFESH — literally “an accounting of the soul.” This process is conducted in preparation for Rosh Hashanah when, Jewish tradition teaches, all of humanity is called to account and a divine judgment is issued. The customs associated with Elul are all intended to help cultivate the proper mindset for this preparation.
Elul Customs
Perhaps the best-known Elul tradition is the blowing of the shofar every weekday after morning services. As on Rosh Hashanah, the daily shofar blasts are intended to rouse us from complacency and jolt us into repentance.
It is also customary to recite PSALM 27, which speaks of the assurance of God’s protection and includes a plea that God not forsake his people, daily during the month of Elul.
More Elul Teachings
One of the best-known teachings about Elul is that the Four Hebrew letters (Tetragrammaton) of the month’s name are an acronym from the verse in Song of Songs: Ani l’dodi v’dodi li (“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”). Song of Songs is understood to be an allegory in which the lovers are God and Israel. Elul is thus understood to be a time of recommitting to our relationship with God.

Additional Daily Psalms which Noahides may recite from First of Elul through End of Sukkot (Hoshanah Rabbah) (Ask Noah International)
There is a custom for Jews to recite three Psalms per day, beginning with the first day of Elul (Psalms 1-3 on day 1, Psalms 4-6 on day 2, etc.), through Psalm 114 on the ninth of Tishrei, which is the Eve of Yom Kippur. Then groups of nine Psalms are recited at four times during Yom Kippur, until the final Psalm 150 is concluded at the end of the day.
Rabbi Moshe Weiner has said that it is also a very good idea for Noahides to do this, either as above until the end of Yom Kippur, or continuing to recite three Psalms per day so that the final Psalm 150 is completed on the last day of Sukkot (called Hoshanah Rabbah). It is logical for Noahides to choose the option to keep the recitation at three Psalms per day so it extends through Sukkot, because the seven days of Sukkot are the time during the year when G-d judges the nations of the world for the amount of rain each one will receive. Also, during the times of the First and Second Holy Temples, those were the days when a total of 70 special sacrifices were brought, and they were offered on behalf of the nations of the world (of which there were 70 in Biblical times).
The schedule for saying three chapters of Psalms per day through the end of Sukkot is listed below. (Whoever did not start on the first day of Elul should begin with the Psalms of the particular day on which he starts the recitation, and complete the missing Psalms later.)
