An unrecorded edition of Penitential Prayers

The word selihah means "forgiveness," and in the singular is used to indicate a liturgical poem whose subject is a plea for the forgiveness of sins. In the plural, the word selihot is used for the special order of service recited on fast days and during the Penitential season which begins before Rosh Ha-Shanah and concludes with Yom Kippur. The present volume follows the Ashkenazic tradition prevalent in Central and Eastern Europe to commence recitation of selihot on the Sunday before Rosh ha-Shanah or of the preceding week should Rosh ha-Shanah fall on Monday or Tuesday. The present volume includes several selihot by Avigdor Kara (d. 1459) describing the massacre of 3,000 Jews in Prague in 1389.
