SUNDAY

Second day of Rosh Hashanah, 2 Tishrei, 5787

• We go out and blow the shofar for those who have not had a chance to fulfill the mitzvah.

  Those who are able should refrain from eating until after tekios.31

• Krias Hatorah

  For krias hatorah, two Sifrei Torah are removed from the aron kodesh. From the first Sefer Torah, five aliyos are read in the parshah of the akeidah (Bereishis 22:1-24). 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.

  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 (Yirmiyahu 31:1–19). This is followed by tekios and Musaf.

• Tekios

  Prepare for tekios32 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.33

  It is customary to stand when the shofar is blown.34

  It is forbidden to speak when the shofar is blown.35 Additionally, avoid speaking (unless it is related to davening) until after the ten tekios blown during the Kaddish Shalem following Musaf.36

  After the tekios, say the paragraph Uvechein yehi ratzon, and repeat the pesukim of Ashrei ha'am etc. after the baal tokeia.

• Musaf

  During the silent Shemoneh Esrei, when finishing each of the three berachos of Malchiyos, Zichronos, and Shofros, wait silently until the shofar is blown. If you are still in the middle of the berachah when the baal tokeia begins blowing, stop, listen, and then continue.37

  During chazaras hashatz of Musaf, say the piyutim for the second day of Rosh Hashanah.

  Ten blasts are blown after Malchiyos, Zichronos, and Shofros, during both the silent Shemoneh Esrei and chazaras hashatz, and another ten are blown during the Kaddish Shalem following Musaf.

  After davening, an additional thirty blasts are blown to "confuse the Satan."

• Tashlich

  After Minchah but before shekiah, visit a body of water with fish and say the nusach of tashlich as printed in the Machzor.38 When finished, men shake the edges of their tzitzis.39

  Fish that do not rely on humans for food may not be fed on Yom Tov. It is therefore forbidden to feed the fish during tashlich.40

  For more on tashlich, see below, "Hosafos.”

• Rest of the Day

  The shofar should not be blown on Yom Tov, unless being blown for the mitzvah. Children, however, may be encouraged to practice blowing.41

  The Rebbe instructed that we should learn Chassidus in the time that leads from Rosh Hashanah to motzoei Rosh Hashanah, thus carrying over the hamshachos of Rosh Hashanah to the rest of the year.42

• Motzoei Yom Tov

  Add Atah chonantanu in Shemoneh Esrei.

• Motzoei Yom Tov

  In addition to the changes in Shemoneh Esrei incorporated so far, replace Melech ohev tzedakah umishpat with Hamelech hamishpat. See below, "Hosafos," for the halachos that apply if you said Melech ohev tzedakah umishpat instead of Hamelech hamishpat.

  Havdalah is made without a candle and besamim.*

  Do not say V'yiten L'cha.

  As long as you have not yet gone to sleep, you may eat until alos hashachar (in preparation for Tzom Gedalya tomorrow).44
