Selichot for the Whole Year

As complex as they are magnificent, such are the poetic Hebrew prayers of repentance. This comprehensive volume offers the complete Hebrew text of the selichot and on facing pages a lucid, eloquent, careful English translation. Included are all selichot recited during the year: those for the days before Rosh Hashanah, for the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and for each fast day including BeHaB and Yom Kippur Katan. Also included are the Torah and Haftorah readings for fast days and biographies of the payetanim (liturgical poets).
