Hevron Selichot - Returning to Our Roots
Experience Selichot in Hebron and connect with the Avot as we prepare for Yom Kippur.
Service Description
During the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, join us for a unique evening in Hebron, the City of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs. This special tour combines the powerful atmosphere of Selichot with an exploration of one of the holiest cities in Judaism. At the center of our experience stands Ma'arat HaMachpelah, the first piece of the Land of Israel purchased by Avraham Avinu and the resting place of the Avot and Imahot. We will have the rare opportunity to participate in Selichot in the Hall of Isaac, an area that is open to Jewish visitors only a few days each year. As we walk through the Avraham Avinu Quarter, Beit Hadassah, ancient Tel Hebron, and the Tomb of Yishai and Ruth, we will explore the foundations of Jewish prayer, repentance, and identity. Why did Avraham insist on purchasing this specific place? Why do our prayers begin with the God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov? What role do the Avot play in our relationship with Hashem today? Through Torah learning, history, and the inspiring atmosphere of Selichot, this tour provides a powerful preparation for Yom Kippur and a deeper connection to the roots of the Jewish people.
