The period between<\/span> Rosh Hashanah<\/span> and <\/span>Yom Kippur<\/span> is called <\/span>Aseret Yemey Teshuvah<\/span> (\u05e2\u05e9\u05e8\u05ea \u05d9\u05de\u05d9 \u05ea\u05e9\u05d5\u05d1\u05d4). During this period, we add extra prayers in the Tefillah and there are some extra songs that we say in the Selichot.<\/span><\/p>\n “<\/span>Adon HaSelichot<\/span>” piyut calls God by 22 different names, it is an alphabetic acrostic – the first line beginning with alef and the final line with tav. One for each Hebrew letter. From Adon HaSelichot (Master of forgiveness) representing the first letter, Alef; to Tamim Deot (Complete in knowledge) representing the last letter, Tav. \u00a0<\/span>The congregational response is : Chatanu lefanecha rachem ‘allenu, meaning: We have sinned before you, have mercy on us.<\/span><\/p>\n This lovely melody is a traditional Eastern melody from Jerusalem. It reminds me of how much I love and enjoy Sephardic culture and music. The tune is upbeat, yet emotional as well. \u00a0<\/span>I remember hearing my Grandpa, who was a cantor, singing “<\/span>Adon Haselichot<\/span>” as a little girl at our synagogue.

Generally, however, it involves a decision to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge. The act that hurt you might always be with you, but forgiveness can lessen its grip on you and help free you from the control of the person who harmed you. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2145,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,14,15,41],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe meaning of Adon Haselichot<\/h3>\n
