The Month of Elul God's Love, and the Gift of Second Chances
"From Rosh Hodesh Elul onwards until Yom Kippur, it is customary to rise before dawn to recite penitential prayers (selihot) and supplications (tahanunim). Rama: The Ashkenazic custom is not that way; rather, from Rosh Hodesh, the shofar is sounded daily after the morning prayer, and some do so, even after the evening prayer." (Shulhan Arukh OC #581)
