Several days before Rosh Hashanah we begin to recite the Selichot, a series of penitential prayers and liturgy

What would be real nice that would be a little calendar that indicate what day of selichot is recited, by the time I figure it out I'm way behind. This would be a neat tool and I'm sure it would help others.

RH - Monday Sep 30 eve Day 1
Day 1 Sep 21 Day 2
Day 2 Sep 22 etc
Day 3 Sep 23

the calendar should support different customs as well chabad. ashkenaz, safard as well.
Enter what day is RH and custom.

For Purchase
I'd like them translated & transliterated as well. But ringing in at 190 + pages requires time and money to have someone translate it. Booklets of these prayers w/translations are available at Jewish bookstores. For those so inclined, look into purchasing one. I did last year and I'm the proud owner for a tome that will last more than a lifetime!

selichot
I agree 100%. So many of our people have not had the advantage of reading Hebrew and speaking it, so that they are not well versed in the language. But that does not detract from our need to say the prayers at the proper time and with the intensity that G-D would have us do them. Please an English translation would be wonderful.
