27th Elul Shabbat Mevarchim

27th Elul “Shabbat Mevarchim”

Shabbat Parshat Nitzavim. We don’t bentch the new month before Musaf, however Av Harachamim is recited. The Baal Shem Tov explains that Hashem Himself bentches the month of Tishrei, and with this power, we bentch the other months of the year.

Many make a kiddush after davening, in honor of “Shabbat Mevarchim”.

Tzidkatecha is recited.

One learns the final two chapters of Pirkei Avot after Mincha. The opening Mishna (“Kol Yisrael”) and concluding Mishna (“Rabbi Chananya”) are recited only once.

Vi’hi Noam and V’atah Kaddosh are omitted on Motzei Shabbat.
