L’yilui Nishamt Avraham ben Ester, Shahin Shmuel ben Hadassa & Israel Ben Rivka.
From Yalkut Yosef:
1. Every person who wakes up early for Selichot should put effort not to doze off or nap during Tefillah, specifically during Kriyat Shma, because when one is wearing Tefillin he may not let his mind wander away from Kdusha and Tahara (holiness and spiritual cleansiness). Whoever does not do this loses his reward from his failure and it is better to pray normally than say Selichot before Shacharit (say Selichot during the day or after Chatzot HaLayla). It is a big issue in Avodat Hashem to be consistent with the foundation and to add on with Chassidut.
2. The main point of Selichot is to say it with big intention, serenity, slowly, and specifically in regards to Shlosh Esreh Middot (Tachanoon…VaYa’avor). Therefore, whoever is accustomed to saying Selichot with speed is not doing Selichot nicely, and needs to cancel this custom immediately. One who comes to Bet Knesset to raise their voice to Hashem the same way he sings to Hashem on Shabbat Kodesh or at a Simcha by yelling and shouting has a path set to Gehinom. Selichot is to review one’s actions, do Tshuva, to add more Ma’asim Tovim (good actions) and overall Mitzvot in one’s daily routine! These next 40 days are set in the world for Tshuva because it is easier to do Tshuva. During Chodesh Elul, whoever writes a letter to his friend should write on top: For a Shana Tova Techatevu and Techatemu, (to wish upon his friend a year where he is written and signed in the Book of Life).
CHODESH TOV!
