Elul

(62.) Ronel Elul & Piero Gottardi, Bankruptcy: Is it Enough to Forgive or Must We Also Forget?, AM.

The diversity of the Environmental and Land Use Law Section (ELULS) is its strength.

Workshop of Transformation - The Hebrew months of Elul, marking the beginning of the Jewish season of change (Rosh Hashana), is the topic of discussion at 8 p.m.

The first Naples edition was printed by Gunzenhauser and completed in Elul [5]250 (18 August-15 September 1490).

The Holy One Blessed be He was reconciled with Israel, and these are the days of acquittal and forgiveness [referring to the days of the Hebrew month of Elul prior to the onset of the High Holidays], and this is the mystery of the virgin "neither had any man known her" [a reference to Rebecca at the well as described in Genesis 24:14]....

"One important part of the complete programme is the reintegration of the trained troops when they are back in Mogadishu," said Spanish Colonel Ricardo Gonzalez Elul, who explained the need to improve facilities at the camp in Mogadishu, where the trainees will be housed when they return.

Rabbi Chaim Druckman spoke at a study day on the month of Elul and the Jewish concept of repentance at the Or Etzion Yeshiva.

A parable of the Hebrew month of Elul (just before the start of the Jewish New Year), "The King In The Field" will help boys and girls to understand that this is one of the best times to approach G-d with prayers and requests.

As she neared the close of her year as chair of The Florida Bar's Environmental and Land Use Law (ELUL) Section, Michelle Diffenderfer was trying to think of ways to boost membership.

Most of the prayer leaders had taken various courses in Judaism and/or group leadership and other related subjects at institutions such as the Jerusalem based Shalom Hartman Institute--a pluralistic research and leadership institute at the forefront of Jewish thought and education (http://www.hartmaninstitute.com); the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, an educational establishment for men and women of diverse backgrounds who study together in a rigorous, challenging and open-minded environment (http://www.pardes.org.il); or Elul Beit-Midrash--the first institution established in the secular arena in 1989 by secular and religious persons together (http://www.elulbm.org.il).

Women there considered Rachel's tomb the place to pray for a child; men came to beg Rachel to comfort a woman enduring birth pains; both sexes there prayed for better days, creating a custom to visit Rachel's tomb during Elul, the month just before Rosh Hashanah to pray for a sweet new year, and on the Hebrew date 14 Heshvan (which falls in the autumn (5)), according to tradition the day of Rachel's death.

Atkins, the editor of Wearing Propaganda and the curator of the recent exhibition in New York of the same name, maintains (quoting Jacques Elul), propaganda, the art of persuasion, has two basic purposes in wartime, agitation--the mobilization of people and resources--and integration--the substitution of a conceptual framework of war for one of peace drawing on elements that already exist in a society--then this failure was serious.
