Elul- Close The Books, Find The King In The Field
Sep 15, 2024
Elul is a time of reflection and introspection when we examine who we are and who we are becoming.
The Alter Rebbe famously said that during the month of Elul, "the King is in the field." This refers to the potential of the month of Elul.
During this month, the King—Hashem—is in the field and more accessible than ever. In Shulchan, it says that even Torah scholars who learned all day closed their books and went into the field. The field is, of course, a metaphor for seeing G-d in all aspects of our lives.
The Alter says that upon connecting to the King in the field, we can be assured of a good year when the king returns to his chamber and palace.
This refers to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when our fate and the world's fate are decided.
