Description
On a Saturday night a week or so before Rosh Hashanah, we go to the synagogue at midnight to recite the special prayers of Selichot. Every morning after that until Rosh Hashanah, we get up early to recite the Selichot.
What are Selichot? What is unique about the prayers? Who wrote them? Why are they recited at unusual times?
