Alone is לבד in Hebrew.
והוא לבדו ימלוך – Chazal teach us that לבד/aloneness is one of Hashem’s middot. Hashem stands alone in Him being the Only Creator, the Only One in true existence and the Only One Who can bring about anything.
Alone in “Hashem’s turf” per se’ displays His uniqueness in that No One is like Him. It means He is perfect in that He is alone and doesn’t need anything or anyone. He ‘has all that He needs’.
He is all/one (alone in change of spelling) and in complete Unity within Himself, so to speak.
And yet..
Loneliness is בדידות. It indicates separateness. A feeling of isolation, being unseen/unheard and all other branches of fragmentation and negativity. Existential loneliness (which really is aloneness, as the soul is all/one with Hashem always) is what we often feel at our core, because as the soul, we often feel like a stranger and disconnected in this world from our true essence and origin. And yet, we can take this experience to the positive attribute of what aloneness means.
We interchange these two words and yet they mean 2 diametric opposite states of being.
Our program will focus on these fundamental points and so much more. The goal is to come to a newfound appreciation of the city of refuge we enter in Elul אִנָּה לְיָדוֹ וְשַׂמְתִּי לְךָ (Shemot 21:13) and the unique opportunity to spend this time alone with Hashem, while separated from the rest of the ‘camp’.
