If Elul is a sacred month of preparation for the Days of Awe, dedicated to divine closeness, why isn’t the whole month observed as a Yom Tov? Why do we continue our daily routines instead of ceasing all creative and professional activity, as we do on Shabbat and the festivals, in order to focus our minds and our souls on the sanctity that permeates the month? If Elul is a time for spiritual refocusing, why not observe a month-long Holiday or Shabbat experience?
