summary

The period of Shovavim, the six weeks commencing with the reading of the Torah portion of Exodus, is traditionally viewed as conducive for repentance, particularly relating to lascivious acts or thoughts. The collected rite for this period of penance was instituted by Moses Zacut and includes an additional prayer by Judah Mazlliah of Padua.
