Hello I wanted to ask when starting to say the Selichot 2013?
Answer:
The custom is to begin on the Sunday before Rosh Hashanah. If the first day of Rosh Hashanah is on Monday or Tuesday, selichos begin on the Sunday of the previous week.
This year:
Some people start saing selichot on the 8th of August and some people start saing selichot on September 1
