This is an archive of prayers, mostly hoshanot, for the 7th and final day of Sukkot: הוֹשַׁעְנָא רַבָּא (Hoshana Rabba). Together with Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur, Hoshana Rabbah is the third in a triad of days dedicated to seeking forgiveness before the crucial prayer for rain is offered on the following festival day, Shemini Atseret, the onset of the wet/rainy season (in the northern hemisphere).
