3 Tishrei 5773(!!!)
Remember to say your Perek of Shir HaShirim!
Today (Wednesday, September 19) is Som Gedaliah/The Fast of Gedaliah. In New York, the fast begins at 5:17am and ends at 7:38pm. If you plan on waking up early to eat before the fast, you must make a verbal statement that you wish to do so before you go to sleep. For an explanation of why we fast today, see here. May you have a meaningful and easy fast!
V. Aseret Yemei Teshuvah
1. The ten days from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur are singularly designated and dedicated to Teshuvah. Although Teshuvah is accepted any time, it is accepted even more readily during these days.
**Prayers: During Aseret Yemei Teshuvah a person should pray more carefully than usual. Six insertions and substitutions are made in the Amidah/Shemoneh Esrei as found in all Siddurim. Pay special attention to these changes. The two most important ones are 'HaMelekh HaKadosh' instead of 'HaE-l HaKadosh' and 'HaMelekh HaMishpat' instead of 'Melekh Ohev Sedakah uMishpat'. Attached is a one-page document with three charts that you may print and keep in your Siddur with guidelines of what to do in case you forget to make the substitutions in time.
