Selichot

סליחות

Selichot are penitential prayers recited during the High Holy Days season. These prayers are a series of supplications and pleas for forgiveness, expressing remorse and commitment to improvement. They are typically recited during the early morning hours before daily prayers. The tradition varies among different communities: Ashkenazi Jews generally begin reciting Selichot on the Saturday night prior to Rosh Hashanah if there are at least four days between the Saturday and Rosh Hashanah. Sephardic Jews, on the other hand, start much earlier, often from the second day of the Hebrew month of Elul, giving them a full month of reflections and supplications leading up to the High Holy Days.
