Taanit Esther Shacharit

The Jewish Weekly | June 27, 2025

In the unlikely event that the Chazzan is not fasting, or less than three congregants are fasting: Instead of reciting Anenu between Goal Yisrael and R’faenu, the Chazzan includes Anenu in the Brachah of Sh’ma Kolenu, and concludes the Brachah regularly; i.e. Shomea Tefillah.

A Chazzan who forgot to recite Anenu:

  • if he remembered before reciting Hashem’s name at the conclusion of the Brachah of R’faeinu, he recites Aneinu immediately, and then repeats the Brachah of R’faeinu;
  • if he already concluded the Brachah of R’faenu, he recites Anenu in the Brachah of Sh’ma Kolenu, and concludes the Brachah with a double conclusion; i.e. Ha’one B’eit Tzarah V’shomeah Tefillah;
  • if he already concluded the Brachah of Sh’ma Kolenu, he recites Anenu as a separate Brachah immediately after the Brachah of Sim Shalom.

One who is not fasting must still recite Selichot and Avinu Malkeinu.

One who davens without a Minyan omits the Yud-Gimel Midot-Harachamim.

Some hold that if Tachnun is not recited (e.g. when a Chattan is present), Selichot is still recited, whereas Avinu Malkeinu is not recited and some hold that Selichot ends after Viduy.
