Mincha

Laws and Customs | June 25, 2025

Mincha is longer than usual (due to Krias Hatorah and Haftorah); it should be timed to conclude before sunset (5:26pm).

Krias Hatorah should not begin prior to Mincha Gedolah (12:52pm). Shmoneh Esrei may certainly not begin before then.

After Haftorah, the Chazzan slowly recites Kaddish while the Torah is returned to the Aron Hakodesh, similar to Mincha on Shabbos.

An individual who forgot Aneinu may recite it in the passage Elokai N’tzor, before the second Yih’yu L’ratzon. If he didn’t remember until he ended Shmoneh Esrei, he does not repeat it. [A non-fasting individual does not recite Aneinu.]

The Chazzan recites Aneinu between Goel Yisroel and R’foeinu, and also recites Birchas Kohanim towards the end of Shmoneh Esrei.

The Rebbe reintroduced the custom of addressing the congregation after Mincha to arouse them with feelings of Teshuvah.

The fast concludes at 5:55pm.
