	The Month of Elul: Customs - Torah.org
		Because Hashem showed favor to the Jewish people then, it is considered a favored time, and one in which our prayers are readily listened to and answered by Hashem.
		We therefore say Selichot during this time, asking Hashem for forgiveness and to find favor with us, so we can start the new year off positively.
		The verse is alluding to the fact that during these 40 days, repentance is accepted, so that one's heart can be closer to his Beloved (G-d) through repentance, and then one's Beloved (G-d) is closer to the person to accept his repentance out of love.

		On Yom Kippur itself, the custom was originally to say selichot in each of the five prayers of the day.
		Because there were many different local customs as to which selichot were said in the other prayers of Yom Kippur, older machzorim simply printed one line in the appropriate place - "Here the selichot are said" - and gradually most communities stopped saying them.
		It is still true that the selichot, and the "thirteen attributes of mercy" that lie at the heart of them, are central to the understanding of Yom Kippur.
