Today's Laws & Customs
======================
· Elul Observances
As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is traditionaly a time of introspection and stocktaking -- a time to review one's deeds and spiritual progress over the past year and prepare for the upcoming "Days of Awe" of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.
As the month of Divine Mercy and Forgiveness (see "Today in Jewish History" for Elul 1 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=903B9C9506D87AFD2117E3574B161B02&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]) it is a most opportune time for teshuvah [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=DDE666866B16BB95C4E7AC8A0F184614&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] ("return" to G-d), prayer [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=9C853AE5D5942692BC00BD10AC6E7B53&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], charity [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=5770E2F26B1073713BF0B1B265B3DD25&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], and increased Ahavat Yisrael [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=4B34C9D9552FB9A569F1FB6FD9D16038&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] (love for a fellow Jew) in the quest for self-improvement and coming closer to G-d. Chassidic master Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=8DBA9861492148AA76E0DDCFC3587C5A&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] likens the month of Elul to a time when "the king is in the field" and, in contrast to when he is in the royal palace, "everyone who so desires is permitted to meet him, and he receives them all with a cheerful countenance and shows a smiling face to them all."
Specific Elul customs include the daily sounding of the shofar (ram's horn) as a call to repentance. The Baal Shem Tov [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=FECE537F4ECF2779A449A3077AD1038B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] instituted the custom of reciting three additional chapters of Psalms [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B31B0F0797DAD0B479FC3608828CF589&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] each day, from the 1st of Elul until Yom Kippur (on Yom Kippur the remaining 36 chapters are recited, thereby completing the entire book of Psalms).

Chapter 31 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=55B9C619E80F04159BA211FC214F2CB2&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] Chapter 32 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=7BB397FB0AF1F556D90AB2F089A24D83&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] Chapter 33 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=604CEFE6FF456DBEE4F275E34AA60EDC&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]
Elul is also the time to have one's tefillin [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=A89CF15EA6C8DE616FA6588829E3FF2B&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and mezuzot [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=91B51A09E2FC4872F9C7E4A0CDE62DC3&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] checked by an accredited scribe to ensure that they are in good condition and fit for use.

Daily Quote
===========
G-d's words to Adam, "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9) is G-d's call to every man, every moment of time. Where are you in the world? -- G-d calls -- What have you accomplished? You have been allotted a certain number of days, hours, and minutes in which to fulfill your mission in life. You have lived so many years and so many days, hours and minutes. Where are you? What have you achieved?
- Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi
