[Avodah] God Provides a Place to Flee...

[R Wolberg]

One of the lesser known roshei teivos of Elul appears in Shmos 21:13 "Eena
L'yado V'samti L'cho."  Even though a person has sinned, God provides for
him a place to flee. Elul is that place; and teshuva, which has the same
root and is related to "Shaiv" (sit, rest), Yeshiva, and Shabbos.
When we flee to where we're going, we must take time to sit and rest and
then learn (as in the Yeshiva) and finally our Shabbos will come once we've
"returned."
