  • What do the last days of Elul teach us today?  
  • When we say the King is in the field in Elul, do we mean the Divine essence or some of His characteristics? 
  • When it says Hashem is in the field and greets everyone with a beautiful smiling face, does that mean Hashem will automatically respond positively to our requests?

  • What does it mean when it says Hashem will hide his face from us?
