A Selichot Text Study: T’shuva and the Power of Prayer – Teshuva (repentance) and Selichot (forgiveness) are key themes during the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe). As we engage in the process of T’shuva, we seek forgiveness from those we have hurt, as well as from God. Since the Geonic period (589-1038), Jews have traditionally recited special Selichot prayers during the month of Elul in order to open their hearts to the transforming power of T’shuva. In this class, Rabbi Ruit will guide us as we look
deeply into the Selichot liturgy and connect with that powerful history.
