Selichot

Among pages written in various languages, a Hebrew page was discovered on Chinese paper from the eighth century, around 1,200 years ago, during the Gaonic period. The page contains a Selichot text, marked with Babylonian vowel points. It is one of the oldest Hebrew manuscripts on paper.

Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon attended a special Selichot gathering in Herzliya this week, where he delivered a moving speech about the importance of reciting Kaddish for the deceased. The emotional minister referred to his mother, who passed away last year, and urged attendees to remember this evening when he said, "I tell you, anyone who has lost someone should be meticulous about reciting Kaddish."
