Hosafos

Tehillim

It is not our custom to recite the pesukim printed before and after the Tehillim.

At the conclusion of Tehillim, an individual whose parents have passed recites Kaddish Yasom. If a chiyuv (an individual commemorating a yahrzeit or an avel) is present, Kaddish is recited at the end of each sefer. In such a case, the Yehi Ratzon following each sefer should be recited beforehand (at least by the one reciting Kaddish).

If you did not finish reciting Tehillim before davening, finish it as soon as possible (after Minchah, on Sunday, or on the following Shabbos).

Farbrengens

Continue the Shabbos Mevarchim farbrengen at home during the Shabbos meal, by discussing with your family the general idea of Shabbos Mevarchim and the special dates of the upcoming month (e.g., Tes-Vov Elul and Chai Elul).

Women and girls should arrange their own farbrengens, either on Shabbos or on motzoei Shabbos.

Yaaleh Viyavo When Davening

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo during Maariv and remembered after saying Hashem’s name at the end of the berachah, do not go back to repeat it.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo during Shacharis or Minchah and remembered after saying Hashem’s name at the end of the berachah, finish the berachah and say it before Modim.

If you already began saying Modim, go back to Retzei. If you already said the second Yihiyu leratzon at the end of Shemoneh Esrei, go back to the beginning of Shemoneh Esrei.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo during Shacharis and only remembered after davening Musaf, do not repeat the Shemoneh Esrei of Shacharis.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo during Minchah on Sunday, and only remembered at night, daven Maariv (including Yaaleh Viyavo) twice, once for Maariv and the second time to make up for Minchah.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo during Minchah on Monday, and only remembered at night, daven Maariv twice, once for Maariv and the second time as a voluntary tefillah. However, since it is no longer Rosh Chodesh, do not say Yaaleh Viyavo during either Shemoneh Esrei.

All the above also applies if you are unsure whether you have said Yaaleh Viyavo.

Hallel

If you are saying Hallel without a minyan, say the berachos at the beginning and end. When saying the berachah at the end of Hallel, the word al is omitted.

Many are accustomed to saying these berachos even when saying Hallel with a minyan. If doing so, say the berachos before or together with the chazzan, and do not answer amen on the chazzan’s berachah.

Repeat the possuk of Hodu after each of the three pessukim of Yomar na (even when saying Hallel without a minyan).

With regard to interrupting for devarim shebikdushah, Hallel shares the laws of birchos krias shema. (To elaborate: With Kaddish, you may interrupt for Yehei Shmei Rabba and the amen of da’amiran be’alma. With Kedushah, you may interrupt for Kadosh, Boruch, and Yimloch. With Modim, you may say the words Modim anachnu lach. You may interrupt for Borchu and for the amen of Hakel hakadosh, Shomei’a tefillah and birchos hatorah.)

Bentching

The one leading the bentching raises his voice when saying the words zachreinu Hashem Elokeinu bo letovah, u’fakdeinu vo levrachah, vehoshi’einu vo lechaim tovim, and those listening answer amen after each phrase. However, if they are in the middle of bentching as well, they may only answer if they are between berachos.

If you forgot to say Yaaleh Viyavo and remembered after saying Hashem’s name at the end of the berachah but before starting the berachah of Hatov Vehameitiv, say the added paragraph for Rosh Chodesh printed in the bentcher or siddur. If you remembered after starting that berachah, do not go back.
