Kesher Talk

Simchat Torah count-up - Day 10 - Erev Hoshana Rabbah. Oy - got to get up real early for this one - it's a long service on a day when people have to go to work. I expect to leave for shul around 6 AM. Unfortunately, a concert I have been looking forward to for months is the night before. (I wonder why Zrihan is touring during Sukkot - he's a practicing chazan back home in Ashkelon.) And I want to be awake for a big Shabbat dinner tomorrow night, too. Not to mention chanting a chapter of Kohelet the next morning. A long chapter.

There's also a tradition of a Tikkun Leil Hoshana Rabba - all night group study preceding the morning service - at the opposite end of the year from the more widely practiced Tikkun Leil Shavuot.

PS This is kind of late, but remember selichot? Well, I was searching for an old post and found this from last year.
