Say the Shemoneh Esrei for Shalosh Regalim, inserting the additions for Shavuos where indicated.
Shacharis
Say the Shemoneh Esrei for Shalosh Regalim, inserting the additions for Shavuos where indicated. This is followed by the complete Hallel, Kaddish Shalem, Shir Shel Yom, and krias hatorah.
Krias Hatorah
When the aron kodesh is opened, say Vayehi Binsoa Ha’aron, the Yud-Gimel Midos Harachamim (once), the Ribono Shel Olam for Shalosh Regalim (inserting, where indicated, your name, your mother’s name, and the words תּ יב נַי,נּ י, בּ ת י, באּש, and/or תַ יב נו, whichever appropriate), and Berich Shemei.
Two Sifrei Torah are removed from the aron kodesh. From the first Sefer Torah, five aliyos are read in the kriah of Kol habechor (Devarim 15:19–16:17). The second Sefer Torah is then placed next to the first one, and Chatzi Kaddish is recited. This is followed by hagbah and gelilah of the first Sefer Torah. From the second Sefer Torah, Uveyom habikurim (Bamidbar 28:26–31) is read for Maftir. This is followed by hagbah and gelilah of the second Sefer Torah, after which the haftorah is read (Chavakuk 2:20–3:19).
Yizkor, Musaf
The reading of the haftorah is followed by Yizkor. Those whose parents are alive leave the shul during Yizkor. During the first year of mourning, the mourner stays in shul but does not recite Yizkor.
Yizkor is followed by Musaf. Say the Musaf for Shalosh Regalim, inserting the additions for Shavuos where appropriate. Where indicated, replace the word vesa’ir with ushnei se’irim.
The Kohanim duchen during chazaras hashatz.
Farbrengen
It is customary to participate in a farbrengen between Minchah and Maariv. At this farbrengen, the nigun daled bavos of the Alter Rebbe is sung. When bentching, say Yaaleh Viyavo even if it is already after tzeis hakochavim.
Kiddush Levanah
Motzoei Yom Tov is the first night when Kiddush Levanah can be recited this month.
It is customary to eat and drink more than usual on Isru Chag.
The Rebbe urged for kinusei Torah to be arranged on Isru Chag and during the subsequent days.
The next five days are known as Yemei Hatashlumin—days for making up missed Yom Tov korbonos in the times of the Beis Hamikdash. Today, these days should be utilized for preserving our inspiration from Shavuos, while adding in Torah and tzedakah.
Today’s shiur Chumash for Chitas ends with the words zeh korban Achira ben Einan (7:83)
