Since the beginning of Jewish history, the upcoming Hebrew month of Elul
has been the time when God most openly expresses His love and compassion. After
the sin of the Golden Calf, the Jews repented and Moses again ascended Mount
Sinai. This day was the first day of Elul. The shofar was blasted to remind the camp not
to return to their mistaken ways. In commemoration of that day, and to inspire
us to improve our ways, it is customary in synagogues throughout the world to
blow the shofar every morning of Elul.
