SelichotAn important Jewish belief is that God wishes us to turn away from sin and that God helps us to do so. The High Holy Days focus almost exclusively on this idea, which is called “teshuvah,” a Hebrew word that means “turning away from sin.”
In Judaism, the word “sin” can refer to many different things. We sin when we break God’s laws; we sin when we hurt others; we sin when we do things that hurt ourselves. During the High Holy Days we have many opportunities to demonstrate that we have made sincere efforts to change our behavior from that which is hurtful or wrong to that which is constructive and healing.
It is a custom among many Jews to prepare spiritually for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur by attending a special service called “Selichot” (forgiveness). The Selichot service is designed to help worshipers direct their hearts and minds to the process of teshuvah. Selichot service is traditionally held on the Saturday evening before Rosh Hashanah.
