First Night of Shavuot

Parsha Halacha | June 27, 2025

The evening service begins with Shir Hama’alot (page 161 in the new Chabad Siddur) and includes the Holiday Amidah (page 331).
One should not pray the evening service until after the stars emerge in order that the 50 days of the counting of the Omer should be considered “complete.”
The blessings on the candles are: Lehadlik ner shel Yom Tov and She’hechiyanu.
Some women do not have the custom of reciting Shehechiyanu when lighting candles on Yom Tov. Rather, they listen to the recital of this bracha during Kiddush.
A man lighting the candles should not say the blessing of Shehechiyanu as he will recite it during Kiddush.
Grace after Meals includes Ya’aleh Veyavoh (pg. 92) and the Harachaman recited on a Yom Tov (pg. 95).
