Elul as a Messianic Advent Season

In Jewish tradition, the shofar, or ram’s horn, is sounded every day during the month of Elul.

Elul, the sixth month in the Biblical calendar, will begin tonight as the sun sets. In Jewish tradition, the sixth month is a time of introspection and personal stock-taking.

The Beginning of Months​

This Shabbat, at sunset, is Rosh Chodesh Nisan, the “Head of the New Month (or Moon) of Nisan”.

When Spring arrives, it brings with it new life and new beginnings. One of these new beginnings is a new cycle of the Festivals of God, starting with Passover on the evening of the 14th day of Nisan, the first month in the Biblical calendar.
