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 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=08E69ED640733874970D1CA618B4E035&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]" 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=DFA35EF60F836D060475231E5354B80C&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]) it is a most opportune time for teshuvah [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=CDF5E3F8F903DDB90DF270914D45A7D0&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] ("return" to G-d), prayer [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=44381B194100457848E545CD92CAB3B1&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], charity [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=838343A420FB2101E228984D607A6FF3&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ], and increased Ahavat Yisrael [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=A338EB4077E1CF289183693A2B3AAACF&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=4A9558E04CDACA9674081EFC53EA8BB2&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=03976004243F309B8D0883CB5A77CCE2&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] instituted the custom of reciting three additional chapters of Psalms [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=BBFEFC4F963E63613B6ABFB8A6842FF0&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 49 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=51F7A16514B008DDC5617EE58C14B026&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]</ br> Chapter 50 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=933C946AFF4CA38F86115947312BBE51&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] </ br> Chapter 51 [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B6798FAC8B8E6C66F88B65468403FA55&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ]
Elul is also the time to have one's tefillin [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=B85E1B1A09A6DB43286F9D929FB5D701&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and mezuzot [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=5033E26842061DD67D3A4B3C12600FEF&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] checked by an accredited scribe to ensure that they are in good condition and fit for use.

· Noah Dispatches Dove (2105 BCE)
Following the failed attempt to dispatch a raven from the ark (see "Today in Jewish History" for Elul 10), Noah sent a dove from the window [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=039AE300BAB247F35674400ADB02088D&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] of the ark [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=8BA256A50C17552C46FE90B9EFD8F5CE&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] to see if the great Flood that covered the earth had abated. "But the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot" and returned to the ark; Noah waited seven days before making another attempt.
· R. Schneur Zalman's parents marry (1743)
Wedding day of Rabbi Baruch and Rebbetzin Rivkah, the parents of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1812 -- see entry for tomerrow, Elul 18), in 1743.

Daily Quote
===========
Our Sages greatly extolled the virtue of charity, declaring it equal to all the other mitzvot together; throughout the Jerusalem Talmud, charity is called simply "The Mitzvah"... Because in all other mitzvot, only one faculty of the vital soul is invested in the action, and only while the mitzvah is being performed. In the case of charity, however, which one gives from the proceeds of the toil of his hands, all the energy of his vital soul is invested in the effort of his labor, or in any other occupation by which he earned this money. Thus, when he gives to charity this money, his entire vital soul ascends to G d with this action. Also, even one who does not earn his livelihood from his labors, nevertheless, since he could have purchased with this money his life's sustenance, he is actually giving his soul’s life to G d...
- Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (Tanya ch. 37)
