Shabbat Shuva 479 / שַׁבַּת שׁוּבָה 4240

Shabbat of Returning 🕍

Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 4240 began on Friday, 8 September 0479 and ended on Saturday, 9 September 0479. 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. This Shabbat is named after the first word of the Haftarah (Hosea 14:2–10) and literally means “Return!” — a play on, but not to be confused with, the word Teshuvah (repentance). Some communities also read additional passages from Joel and Micah. A lengthy rabbinical sermon is traditionally given to the congregation in the afternoon.
