In this book, Rabbi Eliezer Melamed addresses the laws pertaining to the Yamim Nora’im, the Days of Awe. As its name indicates, it covers the laws and observances that guide us from the beginning of the month of Elul through the end of Yom Kippur: Seliḥot and other special practices during Elul; the prayers of Rosh Ha-shana; the laws of the shofar; the Ten Days of Repentance; and the prayers and deprivations of Yom Kippur. It also addresses key themes of the period: God’s judgment of the world in general and the people of Israel in particular, and the need for collective repentance. Finally, the book pays special attention to the observance of Rosh Ha-shana and Yom Kippur while the Temple stood, may it be rebuilt speedily in our days.
