Elul is a combination of both the Middat Hadin and the Middat
Harachamim. We must beware of arousing the Attribute of Judgment,
and attempt to do teshuvah, in order to subject the judgment to the quality
of mercy.
“Judges and officers shall you appoint in all The Ba’al HaTanya asks why we do not celebrate the month of Elul, when
your cities – which Hashem, your G-d, gives you Hashem is closer to us than ever.
– for your tribes; and they shall judge the people Rabbi Elazar ben Durdaya did teshuvah under the influence of the harlot,
with righteous judgment” who was herself aroused to repent after observing his dedication to sin.
(Devarim 16:18) The Ba’al Shem Tov avers that even sin has the ability to increase
Hashem’s glory, when it encourages a person to repent.
Hashem always awaits our teshuvah and will never give us a bill
of divorce.
