Yosef LindellAttending the first night of Ashkenazi Selihot can be a moving experience.[1] Even though the hour is late, the shul is packed. The hazzan’s first kaddish in the nusah of the High Holidays sends a shiver up the spine and pierces the soul. Sometimes, when we sing the words of the Selihot together, I imagine our voices rising to the heavens. Yet, it’s hard to sustain the momentum for Selihot after the first night.

In all of God’s Creation, there is but one divinely acknowledged defect: “It is not good for man to be alone” (Gen. 2:18). So God creates woman. But could it be that in rectifying one flaw, God inadvertently introduces another? Might the creation of Eve give rise to a second problem even as it solves the first, a problem that then requires its own solution? Perhaps a fresh reading of Genesis 1–3 will help us answer this question.

We come into Shavuot counting the Omer. There are 49 days—seven weeks—from Exodus to Revelation, a gestational period marked at one end by our liberation from Egypt on Passover and at the other by our rebirth on Shavuot at the foot of Mount Sinai as God’s nation. Every night last year, my 9-year-old son and I recited the blessing on Sefirat HaOmer together, counting in mounting anticipation of the holiday that was arriving. My wife and I were also counting weeks.

Some days are goslin days. At least that’s the conceit of “Goslin Day,” a 1970 horror story by the fantasy and science fiction writer Avram Davidson, who would have been one hundred in 2023. Solomon Faroly awakens one morning to a “hotsticky feeling in the air, the swimmy looks in the dusty corners of windows, mirrors; something a tension, here a twitch and there a twitch. Notgood notgood.

In my latest for @The_Lehrhaus, I argue that we ought to rethink the way we say Selichot, which tends to emphasize quantity over quality. What if instead we looked to explanatory kinot on Tisha Be-Av as a better model? https://t.co/Ihj6aNbIyj
