Rabbi Lynn - Today in Jewish History Episode 1.

Elul is a special month of teshuva and closeness to Hashem, expressed by “Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li” — “I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.”

The shiur also discusses two miracles that happened on Elul 11 and introduces the Ruzhin Hasidic dynasty. The Ruzhiner Rebbe taught that serving Hashem should combine dignity on the outside with deep humility on the inside. This connects to Rosh Hashanah, when our main focus is accepting Hashem as King.
