I have been having a surprisingly difficult time finding a copy of selihot prayers. They appear to not be included in:

Siddur Sim Shalom (1985)

Siddur Sim Shalom for Weekdays (2002)

Mahzor Lev Shalem (2010)

Mahzor for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (1972)

Weekday Prayer Book (1965)

Before someone questions why I specifically want a Conservative one, my initial requirement was just that it exist on my bookshelf. As far as I can tell, selihot are also not in:

The Complete Artscroll Siddur (1984)

Koren Sacks Siddur (2009)

Ha-Siddur Ha-Shalem (Birnbaum 1949)

Service of the Synagogue - New Year (Adler 1928)

Service of the Synagogue - Day of Atonement (Adler, no date)

Shilo Prayer Book (1932)

Tikun Meir (1933)

I guess I didn't realize that selihot were that obscure. Are they usually bound in a separate volume? If am am wrong and overlooked their inclusion in any of the above books, I welcome that answer also.

The text of Selichot which are recited around Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are very lengthy, and are therefore (I presume) usually included in separate standalone volumes. I have seen at least 4 or 5 different Selichot books at my synagogue (including versions published by Artscroll, Koren, etc.), but, like you, have never seen Selichot included in a standard Siddur.

If you'd like a Conservative version, it is available on the Rabbinical Assembly Website here.

On the other hand, Selichot for fast days are included in many Siddurim, including some that you checked.

    I can't really assume that anyone would find it useful on MY, but here's a shortened (i.e. only pizmonim) edition used by the Hungarian Neolog community with transliteration. bzsh.hu/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/…

Yes they are in a separate volume. for example ArtScroll or Selichot for the Whole Year Hardcover – June 1, 1956

    How does this answer the question, which seeks Conservative publications?

  • @robev "my initial requirement was just that it exist on my bookshelf" seems the OP would be satisfied with non-Conservative options as well
