Wednesday, September 24/ 2 Tishrei
The order of the prayers is similar to the first day with certain poems (piyutim) that are different as indicated in the Machzor.
Farbrengen
The Lubavitcher Rebbe would customarily lead a farbrengen (Chassidic gathering) which would begin on the second day of Rosh Hashanah after Mincha and continue on into the night. This is in order to draw the holiness of the Yom Tov into the rest of the year.
During the farbrengen, the assembled would sing the songs associated with the Ba’al Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch, and all the Chabad Rebbes. The Rebbe would customarily recite a ma’amar (Chassidic discourse) in which he quoted the Ba’al Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch, and all the Chabad Rabbeim.
Yom Tov ends at 7:48 p.m.
Havdolah after Yom Tov includes only the blessing on the wine and on the havdalah. No blessing on the fire or spices is made.
