Minchah
Minchah begins with (karbanos and) krias hatorah. Do not say Ashrei and Uva Letzion.
Krias hatorah of Minchah is read with the regular tune. Three aliyos are read in Parshas Acharei Mos (Vayikra 18:1–30), and the third oleh reads Maftir Yonah.
Chazaras hashatz is followed by Avinu Malkeinu and L’david Hashem ori (but not Aleinu).
Ne’ilah
Ne’ilah begins a short time before shekiah.
“Ne’ilah means to lock. During this tefillah, all doors are locked, and no one is allowed inside. The only ones present are the Jewish people and Hashem Himself.” (Likkutei Sichos vol. 4, p. 1154)
The aron kodesh is opened before Ashrei, and remains open until (after the tekiah at) the end of Ne’ilah.
According to Minhag Chabad, the chazzan says Le’eila ule’eila twice: in the Chatzi Kaddish before Shemoneh Esrei, and in the Kaddish Shalem after chazaras hashatz.
Replace vechasveinu with vechasmeinu, uchsov with vachasom, and venikaseiv with veneichaseim.
Chazaras hashatz is followed by Avinu Malkeinu. Replace kasveinu with chasmeinu.
We then say Shema once, Baruch shem etc. three times, and Hashem hu ha’Elokim seven times. The chazzan says Kaddish Shalem. Before the words Tiskabel tzlos’hon, we sing Napoleon’s March, after which a single tekiah is blown. We call out Leshanah haba’ah birushalayim, and the chazzan finishes the Kaddish.
Although the tekiah may be blown earlier, the Rebbe was particular that it should be blown after tzeis hakochavim.
Next, say Ein Keilokeinu, Aleinu, and kapitlach 142–150 of Tehillim.
