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.
The Ba’al HaTanya asks why we do not celebrate the month of Elul, when
Hashem is closer to us than ever.
Rabbi Elazar ben Durdaya did teshuvah under the influence of the harlot,
who was herself aroused to repent after observing his dedication to sin.
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.
