Elul and Repentance Defined.

In this class we explore the idea of teshhuva and its relationship to the neshamah (inner man / soul).

We explore the character of the neshama and its realtionship to the Torah and HaShem.   All of this gives us a key to the path of repentance.

Elul #1

‍‍11 Elul 5768 - September 10, 2008 By: Dr. Walter Oakley Category: Torah Focus

The month of Elul

What is the Biblical month of Elul all about?

We begin our discussion concerning the Biblical calendar.  We begin by discussing the 40 days of repentance (teshuvah).  What does the Hebrew word “teshuvah” really mean?   We discuss this word and the idea of Teshuavah.

We move into the book of Ephesians where Shaul (Paul) addresses the “saints” and the “elect.”   We discuss these idea and elaborate in some detail.

This will be the discussion for the next couple of weeks.

We have included an outline of notes taken during the class.  Download them here.
