The month of Elul holds tremendous spiritual energies and potential, as it is the month of closeness and return to the Divine. The Torah teaches that this name - Elul, spelled א ל ו ל - is an acronym for the phrase in Song of Songs: אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי - I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me. In this meditation, and using a deeply mystical allegory from the Zohar, the listener is guided through the cycle of this phrase, and into a visualization of this allegory, leading to a profound experience of rededication of one's goals to the pursuit of the Divine.
Words used in this meditation: Elul - אלול - the Hebrew month of Elul אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי וְדוֹדִי לִי - I am to my Beloved, and my Beloved is to me (Song of Songs 6:3) שכינה - Shechina - the Divine Presence
