High Holyday Selichot Services

These services of repentance and supplication are recited from Motzei Shabbat at least four days before Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar on Rosh Hashanah will call out: ‘Wake up, you sleepers, from your sleep! Arise, you slumberers, from your slumber!’ Selichot, anticipating this moment, are recited in the middle of the night or just before morning prayers.

We will gather at the synagogue at 9.00 pm to share some nigunim (gentle tunes), legends and stories for the coming season of Teshuvah – please bring your own contributions! At 10.00 pm there will be separate Selichot services for Masorti, Liberal and Reform.
