Shabbat Shuva 2025 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5786

Shabbat of Returning 🕍

Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 5786 begins at sundown on and ends at nightfall on . 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).
