It\u2019s an old custom to read (or to sing) the Book of Psalms during the month of Elul<\/a>. In the famous Song of Moses, it is written: \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d0\u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \/ \u201cand they spoke, saying: \u2018I will sing to the LORD\u2019 (Exod. 15:1). This phrase can be formed into an acronym for Elul (\u05d0\u05dc\u05d5\u05dc), and the sages therefore reasoned that hearing the Psalms were vital during the Season of Repentance and Days of Favor.<\/p>\n

Of all the great Psalms, however, Psalm 27<\/a> is considered the central one of the season of teshuvah. The midrash on the Psalms states that the word ori<\/em> (\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9), \u201cmy light,\u201d refers to Rosh Hashanah<\/a> (based on Psalm 37:6) whereas the word yishi<\/em> (\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e2\u05b4\u05d9), \u201cmy salvation\u201d (lit. \u201cmy Jesus\u201d) refers to the atonement given on Yom Kippur<\/a>. King David also mentions that God would hide him in his sukkah (\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e1\u05bb\u05db\u05bc\u05d4) in the time of trouble, referring to the holiday of Sukkot<\/a> (Psalm 27:5). Therefore since it alludes to all three of the fall holidays, Psalm 27 is regarded as the thematic Psalm for the High Holidays of the Jewish year.<\/p>\n
