Shabbos Selichos

The Tochecha is read more quietly and quickly than usual. Obviously, one must still hear every single word clearly. The Baal Koreh receives this Aliyah and recites the Brochos before and after. He is not formally called up to the Torah, but he may receive a Mi Sheberach after.

The 3rd and 4th chapters of Pirkei Avos are recited after Mincha. The opening Mishna (“Kol Yisroel”) and concluding Mishna (“Rabbi Chananya”) are recited only once.

A Farbrengen is conducted on Shabbos afternoon, as well as prior to Selichos.

Shabbos clothing is worn to Selichos. Selichos starts immediately after Chatzos (12:21am). The Chazzan dons a Tallis without a Brocho.
