Shabbat Shuva 2016 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5777

Shabbat that falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat of Returning) 🕍

Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 5777 began on Friday, 7 October 2016 and ended on Saturday, 8 October 2016. This corresponds to Parashat Vayeilech.

Shabbat Shuvah (“Sabbath [of] Return” שבת שובה) refers to the Shabbat that occurs during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Only one Shabbat can occur between these dates. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2-10) and literally means “Return!” It is perhaps a play on, but not to be confused with, the word Teshuvah (the word for repentance).
