Slichot 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Selichos

Description

Beginning Slichos Motza'ei Shabbos. Why does the prayer refer to "bemotza'ei menuchah" (as the period of rest departs) rather than beMotza'ei Shabbos? Two types of chot'im (Jews who commit an aveira). Losing another battle to the yetzer harah (evil inclincation). The Kedushas Levi on the importance of making a festive meal for a simcha (joyous occasion). When our transgressions don't cause any remorse whatsoever. Even as we we're about to do the wrong thing we call out to Hashem to save us from the transgression. Ani ledodi vedodi li (I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me).
