The tradition of visiting Hebron during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashana
and Yom Kippur was started by the venerated Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, who served as
Israel’s Sephardic chief rabbi from 1983 to 1993.

 

Slichot, or forgiveness, are special prayers recited before the High Holidays and during
the Ten Days of Repentance. Throughout the preceding month of Elul, thousands flocked to
