Rabbi Yoseph Oziel of the Toronto synagogue congregation - Petah Tikva, Anshe Castilla, leading the selichot prayers.

Selichah (סליחה) — Hebrew for "forgiveness."

In the Sephardic tradition, recital of Selichot in preparation for the High Holidays begins on the second day of the Hebrew month of Elul.

Selichot are usually recited between midnight and dawn. Some recite it at night after the 'Arvit service or in the morning before the Shacharit service due to the convenience of synagogue attendance at these times.
