Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on selichot, the Jewish penitential prayers, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for detailed liturgical variation across communities, which a dedicated liturgical source would need to settle. NotesWikipedia's article on selichot, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the word's own literal meaning and for the time of night these prayers are recited, distinct from the atlas's existing Jewish Liturgy: A Comprehensive History citation on the Ashkenazi and Sephardi seasonal difference.
