Welcome to our Elul Thought for the Day. To prepare our souls for the High Holy Days, we read Psalm 27 and blow the shofar every day of the month of Elul. Every weekday, in these emails, we will send you a verse from Psalm 27, a shofar blast (or something resembling a wake-up call), and a song from our High Holy Day playlist.
Women rabbis from around the world (including Rabbi Plumb) collaborated this year to create a brief teaching for each day of Elul. We will send you one of these short videos in each Elul email. Watch and see which one is from our rabbi!
May the shofar, music, psalm and teachings wake us up to who we can be in the year ahead.
Psalm 27:5 כִּ֤י יִצְפְּנֵ֨נִי ׀ בְּסֻכֹּה֮ בְּי֪וֹם רָ֫עָ֥ה יַ֭סְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵ֣תֶר אָהֳל֑וֹ בְּ֝צ֗וּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי You will shelter me in Your pavilion during difficult days, grant me the protection of Your tent, raise me high upon a rock, when I feel overwhelmed.
