Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the poetic genre of sĕliḥot, both in Sephardi poetry and on Judah Halevi’s sĕliḥot-ʼašmurot, in the context of the Hebrew liturgy for the month of 'Elul, the Yamim Noraim and night whatch prayers. An stylistic commentary on the theological and philosophical background of these poems is presented by comparison with Sufi and early Christian misticism and the Neoplatonic philosofical trends as well.
