#The [[Selichot]] should be said with proper intent (Kavanah), slowly, and with humility, especially when one is reciting the Yud Gimmel [[Middot]] HaRachamim.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim, pg 20) </ref> | Shulchan Aruch 46:9 writes that birkot hatorah should be said before reciting any pesukim, even as a form of prayer and not learning. He adds that some say that it would not be necessary to say birkot hatorah if you are just reciting the pesukim as a form of prayer. He concludes that it is proper to be strict. The Rama writes that the common practice is to be lenient like the Maharil 150:9 that if you are only reciting the pesukim as a prayer, you need not recite birkot hatorah. The Rambam in Shu"t Peor Hador 104 holds that you must and therefore, Chacham Ovadia (Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 5) writes that you should. Birkei Yosef 46:14 and Mishna Brurah 46:27 agree. <br> | ||
Aruch Hashulchan 46:14 says this isn't necessary based on the Rama The opinion of the Rama is based on the Maharil 150:9. Nitai Gavriel (Rosh Hashana ch. 10, fnt. 1) advises saying birchos hatorah before selichos unless one is in a rush in which case one can rely on those who say you don’t need to say it before selichos. <br> | |||
