Selihot | August 25, 2004

Selihot means Forgivenees in Hebrew. The term Selihot describes liturgical poetry or prayers of pardon recited on the Ten Days of Penitence, Rosh Ha-Shanah, Yom Kippur as well as public fasts, calling the Lord to respond as he did to scriptural heroes. The earliest known order of Selihot is found in the ninth century prayer book of Rabbi Amram.
