What Should be the Divine Service for Bnei Noah during the Month of Elul?
Rabbi Moshe Perets
The Jewish month of Elul is the last month of the Hebrew calendar, the 12th month. During this month we, Jews and Noahides, Bnei Israel and Bnei Noah, take the time to consider how have we served our Creator for the past 11 months!
Our Sages reveal to us that this month is the month or Divine Mercy. 30 days during which HaShem reveals His 13 attributes of Mercy, and therefore a new opportunity for us to relate to Him beyond our regular limitations.
During this month we increase in 3 areas of Divine Service:
the proper study of Torah (with a proper Rabbi or Jewish mentor, or here at the Academy);
Prayer (we ad 3 Psalms to our daily prayers);
and Acts of Goodness and Kindness (this includes the observance of the 7 commandments and its 90 derivative laws as well as acts of charity, financial and spiritual, like teaching Torah to others).
