Shabbat Shuva 1640 / שַׁבָּת שׁוּבָה 5401

Shabbat of Returning 🕍

Shabbat Shuva for Hebrew Year 5401 began on Friday, 21 September 1640 and ended on Saturday, 22 September 1640. 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).
