In this bonus episode of the Shuva Israel Podcast, Rabbi Yoel Moshe Raphael Pinto, Shlita, shares profound insights into the month of Elul and the High Holiday season.
Using the famous parable of the “King in the Field” from the Ba’al HaTanya, the Rabbi explains the unique accessibility of the Divine during this month. He also reveals why spiritual growth requires active, deliberate toil, linking this concept to Abraham’s dedication to the mitzvah of Eruv Tavshilin.
