This is achieved in the month of Elul, when the King is in the field, empowering each individual that the inner essence of his or her soul should be revealed… This process is intensified at the conclusion of the Exile, when every Jew will finally obey G-d’s teachings. Rabbi Shneur Zalman points out2 that in order for the individual to make his or her movement towards G-d during the month of Elul, there needs to be an initial 1 Maamar Ani LeDodi 5727, Sedra Re’eh, printed in Dvar Malchus Re‘eh 5774. This has the certainty of blessing – which is why the text continues, ‘since’ you will obey, for it is certain that the Jewish people will obey – and also, like prayer, has the quality of revealing something new. The Rebbe suggests that the reason why Rabbi Shneur Zalman put a discourse on this theme in the section of Likkutei Torah with Sedra Re’eh, is because that Sedra begins ‘See, I am giving you today a blessing…’4. The Discourse explains that because the blessing is from such a high realm, from Keter, the Crown, the curse is transformed into blessing… Now we can see the connection between Sedra Re’eh and the month of Elul. These special days of the Jewish calendar are explained as a time of ‘Divine revelation’, when there is a unique sense of the closeness of the Divine in the tangible and dramatic details of the Festivals. Similarly with Elul which is at the end of the year, and also, at the end of the Exile, it must be that every Jew will at last obey the Torah teachings of the Divine [leading to the Redemption]8. In at least one version of this discourse, by the Rebbe, it says that the people are now able to elevate themselves to a higher level so that they are able to enter the palace with Him3. The Maharash continues, explaining the nature of prayer, with the idea expressed in the Zohar that certain angels ‘bind crowns for the Holy One, from the prayers of the Jewish people’.
