Elul

Elul: Our High Holiday season begins one month before Rosh Hashanah (Aug. 23), with the month of Elul.

Jewish tradition gives us this month as a period of preparation for entering into the High Holidays with awareness and motivation. To engage all of our senses in this process of restoration, TIP is offering a series of events throughout the month of Elul to nourish body, mind, heart, and spirit.
