As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is traditionally a time of introspection and stocktaking -- a time to review one's deeds and spiritual progress over the past year and prepare for the upcoming " Days of Awe" of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.

Although this week is "Shabbat Mevarchim" We do not Bless the month of Tishrei, the Alter Rebbe (the first Chabad Rebbe) said in the name of the Baal Shem Tov: "Tishrei is blessed by the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself. And with the power of this blessing, the Jews bless the other eleven months of the year." We still recite Tehillim, however.

Mincha after Kiddush
In preparation for the festival of Shavuot, we study one of the six chapters of the Talmud's Ethics of the Fathers ("Avot") on the afternoon of each of the six Shabbatot between Passover and Shavuot; this week, being the first Shabbat after Passover, we study Chapter One. (In many communities -- and such is the Chabad custom -- the study cycle is repeated through the summer, until the Shabbat before Rosh Hashanah.)
This week we study Chapters 5 & 6
This is the final time we recite it for this year

Erev Rosh Hashana
Today is the last day of the Jewish year, and a day of preparation for Rosh Hashanah ("Head of the Year") which commences this evening. Selichot are recited before the morning prayers. The Shofar is not sounded on the day before Rosh Hashanah, to separate between the shofar soundings of the month of Elul (which are a minhag , or "custom") and the Rosh Hashanah soundings (which are a biblically ordained mitzvah, divine commandment). Following the morning services, Hatarat Nedarim , the annulment of vows, is performed (the text for this procedure is found in most prayer books). It is customary to pray at the graves of the righteous on this day
