Selichot

Our Sefardi brothers - the Jews of Middle Eastern and Oriental descent - have already started to say the Selichot (forgiveness) prayers every morning in preparation for Rosh Hashana. Here are my dear friends the "Kisufim" trio from Tekoa in the Judean-Mountain area with there rendition of the Selichot melody.

This week's Torah portion is Shoftim. If you haven't yet seen the full-length video of Rabbi Lazer's 80-minute emuna talk in English yesterday at Yeshivat Chut Shel Chesed in Jerusalem, you're invited to see it right here. Have a wonderful Shabbat and weekend!
