Elul 

 
Elul Observance
 
Elul is a appropriate time to reflect on our actions and attitudes of pervious year, and reslove to correct shortcomings.
 
During this month, we have our Mezuzot and Tefillin checked, study more Torah, give additional charity and pray with more feeling.  After paayers each morning (except Shabbat), it is customary to blow the shofar.
