Selichot Tour to Safed
ORT Rabin On October - 8 - 2011
A few days ago, I went to a Selichot tour in the city Safed. I should explain – Selichot is a collection of prayers and poems that Jewish people say in the ten days between Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). The purpose of the Selichot is to ask for forgiveness. Safed is a city in northern Israel, which is considered to be one of the four holy cities in Israel (the other three are Jerusalem, Tiberias and Hebron) where people go to perform the Selichot.
