ELUL - A TIME TO PREPARE

Adult Jewish Learning for the Days of Awe

According to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur do not exist
in a vacuum but are, rather, the culmination of an intense process of reflection,
study, and self-evaluation during the month of Elul, which begins this year on
the night of Wednesday, August 11. During these four weeks preceding Rosh Hashanah,
the Jewish people, as individuals and as a community, are called upon to examine our

lives and prepare our hearts for the Days of Awe. To help each of us fulfil this obligation,
Eilu v' Eilu presents "ELUL - A TIME TO PREPARE," an adult Jewish study series on themes
of the season, featuring some of our community's most dynamic Jewish educators.

We encourage you to come and learn during the month of Elul and to invite colleagues,
friends, and family members to be your study companions on this spiritual adventure.
Our series will include day and evening classes at various locations throughout
Metro Detroit. Except where otherwise noted, all of our Elul learning events are
free of charge and advance registration is encouraged but not required.
