People asked why the rabbi is wearing a farmer’s hat. I told them I’m getting ready for Elul! Elul is the last month before Rosh Hashanah - the month in prep for a Happy Sweet New Year - starts today!
The Chassidic masters describe Elul with the beautiful metaphor that “the King is in the field.” Before the High Holidays, Hashem comes out into the “fields” of our everyday lives, making Himself especially accessible to each of us. We don’t have to wait for the palace, we can meet Him right where we are, bringing our hopes, prayers, and resolutions for a sweet and blessed New Year.
So if the King is in the field… I figured I should dress for the occasion!
And while I’m at it, I’ll remember another lesson every farmer knows: you only harvest what you plant. Every mitzvah, every act of kindness, every heartfelt prayer, and every encouraging word is a seed. As Elul begins, let’s fill our fields with good deeds, so with Hashem’s blessing we merit a rich harvest of health, happiness, peace, and revealed blessings in the coming year.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to greet the King… in my farmer’s hat, and with the Shofar!
To hear more about the King in the Field, and other relevant highlights, join us for Shabbat! Shabbat dinner at 7:30 pm, Shabbat services and Kiddush at 10:30 am.
Shabbat Shalom & Chodesh Tov!
