40 Days of Return: Psalms for the Days of Awe
Forty psalms for the forty days from Rosh Chodesh Elul to Yom Kippur. This is the Tanakh's season of return: Moshe climbed Sinai for a final forty days and came down on Yom Kippur with the second tablets, the sign that God forgives (Exodus 34), and Leviticus 23 sets these days apart as appointed times. The plan opens with Psalm 27, recited daily through Elul, walks the classic selichot psalms of teshuva, sounds the shofar psalms of Rosh Hashana, and climbs through the Aseret Yemei Teshuva to the closing gates of Yom Kippur.
