Three Things to Say in the Home:
Every year before Kol Nidrei, the Sar Shalom of Belz zy"a would encourage his followers to make a Cheshbon Hanefesh and do teshuva with emotion and tears. The entire crowd would be moved by his words and would break down crying.
He would quote the Mishnah (Shabbos 34B) that says: "One must say three things in his house on erev Shabbos right before sunset." He would explain that this can be understood to refer to erev Yom Kippur, which is called "Shabbos Shabason". The Mishnah is saying that one must say the following three things at this time:
"Isartem" – the ten days (aseres) of teshuva are almost over. "Iravtem" – it is already "erev" Yom Kippur. "Hidliku es haneir" – the candles of Yom Kippur have already been lit. But we still haven't done teshuva.
