Selichos and Avinu Malkeinu

Selichos is recited. It is customary to stand for the entire Selichos. [An infirm person may sit. If possible, he should at least stand for each recitation of the Yud-Gimel Midos.]

The long Avinu Malkeinu is recited. [It is not our custom to recite it verse by verse after the Chazzan.]

One who davens without a Minyan omits the Yud-Gimel Midos-Harachamim.

If Tachnun is not recited (e.g. when a Chosson or one of the Baalei Habris are present), Selichos is still recited, whereas Avinu Malkeinu is omitted.

One who is not fasting must still recite Selichos and Avinu Malkeinu.
