First day of Rosh Hashanah, 1 Tishrei, 5786
TUESDAY
Shacharis
During chazaras hashatz, say the piyutim for the first day of Rosh Hashanah.
In the early years, the Rebbe would stand whenever the aron kodesh was opened (during chazaras hashatz and so on). However, in later years, the Rebbe would often remain seated.
Similarly, there were years when the Rebbe would stand at the conclusion of the berachos during chazaras hashatz, and there were years when the Rebbe would remain seated.
Krias Hatorah
When the aron kodesh is opened, say Vayehi Binsoa Ha’aron, the Yud-Gimmel Midos Harachamim (three times), the Ribono Shel Olam for the Yamim Nora’im, 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 VaHashem pakad es Sarah (Bereishis 21:1–34). 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.
With the exception of Maftir, the Torah is read with the special tune of the Yamim Nora’im.
From the second Sefer Torah, Uvachodesh Hashvi’i is read for Maftir (Bamidbar 29:1–6). This is followed by hagbah and gelilah of the second Sefer Torah, after which the haftorah is read (I Shmuel 1:1–2:10).
Tekios
Prepare for tekios and say Lamnatzeiach seven times. Next, repeat the pesukim of Min hameitzar and onward after the baal tokeia.
The Yehi Ratzon printed after the pesukim is only said by the baal tokeia.
The baal tokeia recites the berachos and blows the shofar. All those listening should have in mind to be yotzei the mitzvah. They should not say Boruch Hu Uvaruch Shemo.
It is customary to stand when the shofar is blown.
It is forbidden to speak when the shofar is blown.
Additionally, avoid speaking (unless it is related to davening) until after the ten tekios blown during the Kaddish Shalem following Musaf.
After the tekios, say the paragraph Uvechein yehi ratzon, and repeat the pesukim of Ashrei ha’am etc. after the baal tokeia.
