The story · English
Rabbi Yaakov Sinai presents a detailed halachic discussion on the practice of reciting Selichot prayers individually during the Days of Repentance. He addresses whether it is permissible to say Selichot alone and examines if reciting them privately in the early morning hours is preferable to saying them publicly at a later time. The segment is part of Rabbi Sinai's ongoing daily series "Halacha Order," which explores current Jewish legal questions. Additionally, the program references a previous ruling where Rabbi Avraham Nivenzel retracted a protest letter and expressed support for Rabbi Hakki Stern, the Rabbi of the Western Wall. The series also covers related topics such as the blessing over affixing a mezuzah anew.
