MONDAY

Minchah

After Ashrei and Chatzi Kaddish, Vayechal is read from the Torah. The one who receives the third aliyah also serves as maftir, reading Dirshu Hashem behimatz'o, followed by three berachos (until magen david). Chatzi Kaddish is not said between shlishi and the haftorah.

After the haftorah is read, the Sefer Torah is returned to the aron kodesh and Chatzi Kaddish is recited, followed by Shemoneh Esrei.51

Say Aneinu in Shema Koleinu where indicated (unless you are not fasting). See below, "Hosafos,” for the laws that apply if you forgot to say Aneinu.

The chazzan says Aneinu as a separate berachah between Goel Yisroel and Refaeinu. He also says Birchas Kohanim.

Chazaras hashatz is followed by Tachanun, the long Avinu Malkeinu (as in the morning), Vaʼanachnu lo neida, Kaddish Shalem, L'david Hashem ori and Aleinu.

Divrei Kivushin

The Rebbe revived the custom of saying divrei kivushin (words that arouse the listeners to teshuvah) after Minchah on fast days. Wherever possible, at least a few words of inspiration should be shared, or a relevant chapter of Tehillim should be recited.52

If this cannot be arranged, at least reflect on the theme of teshuvah as it relates to this day, and Hashem will consider these thoughts as having been verbalized. 53

Maariv

If you davened Maariv before tzeis hakochavim,54 make sure to repeat Krias Shema later.
