Reciting the Verses Between the Selichot

Question

Is it obligatory to recite the verses printed between the Selichot (in the Ashkenazi rite)?

Answer

The verses recited between the Selichot are the main part of the Selichot recitation, and the subsequent forgiveness is based on them. Therefore, it is important to ensure they are recited and not skipped.
