מִי שֶׁעָנָה | The One Who Answered (Selichot: New Apologies)
To continue to receive updates from Selichot: New Apologies, subscribe here!In this piyyut said whenever selichot are recited we ask G-d to answer our prayers just as heanswered the prayers of our Biblical ancestors from Avraham to Mordechai and Esther.Fascinatingly, for many of those mentioned there is no indication in the text that they actuallyprayed.מִי שֶׁעָנָה לְאַבְרָהָם אָבִֽינוּ בְּהַר הַ
אִמַּנְתָּ מֵאָז | You Taught Us (Selichot: New Apologies)
Drawing on the notion that the Ten Days of Repentance were created even before the worldcame into being, the poet urges us to take advantage of this special time when our prayers forforgiveness are more readily accepted.אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּאִמַּנְתָּ מֵאָז אֲרֶשֶׁת נִיב שְֹפָתַיִם. בִּתְפִלָּה ובְתַחֲנוּן דְּפֹק שַׁעֲרֵי־דְלָתָיִם. גִּשְׁתֵּנוּ עָדֶיךָ בִּזְרִיזוּת וְלֹא־בַעֲצַלְתַּיִ
אָדָם אֵיךְ יִזְכֶּה | How Can Man Merit (Selichot: New Apologies)
In this selicha for the eve of Rosh Hashanah we confront the inevitability of death, yet through prayer and tzedakah, we can be amongst the righteous who even in death live on.אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּאָדָם אֵיךְ יִזְכֶּה. בְּכָל יוֹם לַמָּוֶת מְחַכֶּה: בָּשָֹר מַה יְדַבֵּר. וְהוּא מוּבָל לַקֶּבֶר:גֶּוְיוֹ לַבּוֹר נוֹפֵל. לִמְקוֹם חֹשֶׁךְ וְאֹפֶל: דִּמְיוֹנוֹ לַהֶבֶל דָּמָה. וְגַם נִמְשַׁל

יִשְֹרָאֵל נוֹשַׁע | Yisrael Nosha b’Hashem (Selichot: New Apologies)
In today’s selicha, we place our unconditional trust in G-d’s salvation in the face of ongoingpersecution.יִשְֹרָאֵל נוֹשַׁע בַּיהֹוָה, תְּשׁוּעַת עוֹלָמִים. גַּם־הַיּוֹם יִוָּשְׁעוּ מִפִּיךָ, שׁוֹכֵן מְרוֹמִים. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:שְׁעָרֶיךָ הֵם דּוֹפְקִים, כַּעֲנִיִּים וְדַלִּים. צְקוֹן־לַחֲשָׁם קְשֹׁב יָהּ שׁוֹכֵן מְעֻלִּים. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:
