Selichot (Penitential Prayers) at the Western Wall – 2022

Selichot (Penitential Prayers) at the Western Wall: This year there will be 14 central prayer events

The month of Elul has begun, the month of compassion and selichot – penitential prayers. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation is preparing to host many thousands of Jews who arrive every year for selichot and the High Holidays.

Due to the tremendous interest in participating in the central selichot services, the decision was made this year to hold fourteen events accompanied by a cantor and amplification in order to spread the crowds and make it possible for all who wish to participate to come. The selichot services will be broadcast live on the Foundation website for those who are not able to come to the Western Wall but who wish to participate in these moving services.

The Western Heritage Foundation: The recitation of selichot at the Western Wall Plaza unites the Jewish nation. All the various streams stand together pouring out their souls and accepting the yoke of the Kingdom of Heaven during these important days of atonement, calling out together – “O Master of Forgiveness, Examiner of Hearts, we have sinned before You, have mercy upon us.”
We call upon the public to come say selichot earlier in the month, and not only in the last days of selichot, in order to spread the crowds and maintain the health and safety of all who come to the Western Wall.
