2 Elul 5772
With HaShem's help, we will begin the Halakhot for Hodesh Elul and Rosh HaShanah. The Halakhot are adapted from those provided by the Sephardic Institute under HaRav Moshe Shamah. May this be a hodesh of sincere Teshuvah and closeness to HaKadosh Barukh Hu.
Halakhot of Rosh Hashanah
I. Selihot
Beginning the day after Rosh Hodesh Elul (the month before Rosh Hashanah), and concluding the day before Yom Kippur, selihot are recited early each weekday morning before Shaharit. These are special prayers designed to facilitate Teshubah (repentance). It is inappropriate to arrive at the annual Day of Judgment, as the first day of the new year is called, without having prepared beforehand.
-Smile Eshet Hayil! :D
