@yydl: see page 4 of https://www.colelchabad.org/assets/pdfs/Elul_English.pdf : The Alter Rebbe said in the name of the Baal Shem Tov: “Tishrei is blessed by the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself. And with the power of this blessing, the Jews bless the other eleven months of the year – Menachem Sep 01 '13 at 05:28
