[Avodah] Minhagim of the Ashkenaz Synagogue ("The Luach") (5774)

[Harry Maryles]

Sunrise - at least here in Chicago - is at about 6:20 AM. Most of the AM Slichos are completed well before that time... at least thee one I go to including the 1st Selichos on Sunday.

I therefore do not think there is any real difference between waiting til almost 1 AM on Motzoi Shabbos to say it and saying it at about 5:30 AM Sunday morning... except for the idea of Zerizus. And if that's someone's issue, then they should be doing it at 1 AM every night.

When I was in  Telshe, the first Selichos was always Sunday morning, not 1 AM.

>     You are right.  Saying S'lichos at 1:00 AM is not as authentic as saying them at 6:20 AM; it is _more_ authentic.  One of the phrases you said was "Gnon na giz'o b'za'akam b'od layil."  How could you say this truthfully after sunrise?  It was obviously meant to be said while it was still night, and probably should have been skipped if said after daybreak, to avoid a false t'filla.
