High Holidays 5784: ”Why are You Sleeping? Piyyutim of Awakening to the Yamim Noraim” (1/2) with Rabbanit Victoria Sutton

Session 1: Wake Up

Throughout the month of Elul, Jewish communities rise early for Selihot, whose words and melodies serve to awaken us to teshuva (repentance) and Seliha (forgiveness). We will study the text and themes of several Selihot piyyutim together, including the opening piyyut "Ben Adam Mah Lekha Nirdam" ("Human Being, Why do you Slumber?")
