<div>==Hoshanot==<br />
<br />
#The seventh day of [[Sukkot]] is also called Hoshana Rabba. On Hashana Rabba, it is the custom of many communities to say extra Hoshanot ([[prayer]] said while holding the [[lulav]] and [[etrog]]) and to circle the Bimah seven times. <ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 664:1, Mishna Brurah 664:10, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 438). Sefer Tashbetz 156 says the reason for this is just like we did when capturing yericho until the walls fell </ref><br />
#The custom is to take out seven Sifrei Torah on Hoshana Rabba or all of the sifrei torah and they are placed on the Bimah.<ref>Rama 660:1</ref><br />
#The Sephardic minhag is not to say that the 13 middot of rachamim in the Hoshanot.<ref>Chazon Ovadia (Sukkot p. 437)</ref><br />
#It’s the Sephardic minhag to say Hashem Hu HaElokim prior to Hashem Melech in [[Shacharit]] and to add [[Shir HaMaalot]] after Yishtabach. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 438) </ref><br />
<br />
==Learning on Hoshana Rabba Night==<br />
<br />
#It’s the practice of Israel to learn on the night of Hoshana Rabba and some stay up all night. <ref>Shibbolei Haleket 371. Shaar Hakavanot 103D says this minhag is because our judgment is sealed on that night (see Nitei Gavriel [[Sukkot]] 75:3). Sefer Taamei Haminhagim pg. 356 says that this practice is because it is the night of Ushpizin for David Hamelech who stayed up all night singing praises to Hashem. </ref> It’s proper to read the Seder Leil Hoshana Rabba (printed in some machzorim) which includes reading Sefer Devarim, Midrash Rabba on Vezot HaBracha, and then Tehillim. <ref>Mishna Brurah 664:1, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 438) </ref><br />
#Regarding the Brachot in the morning for someone who stayed up all night, see [[Shavuot#Shavuot_morning]]. According to Sephardim, one can make all of the brachot besides [[Netilat Yadayim]]. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 438). He adds that Brachot Hatorah may only be said after Olot Hashachar. </ref><br />
#During the day of Hoshana Rabbah, one should read Parashat Vizot Haberacha [[shnayim mikra]] viechad targum. <ref>Birkei Yosef 285:4, Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 184, Chazon Ovadia [[Sukkot]] pg. 450</ref><br />
<br />
==Untying the Lulav==<br />
<br />
#It’s not our practice to untie the [[lulav]] on Hoshana Rabba. <ref>Even though Shulchan Aruch OC 664:1 writes that it’s the minhag to untie the egged on the [[lulav]] on Hoshana Rabba, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 439-440) writes that it’s not our minhag to untie the [[lulav]] at all. </ref><br />
#However, if one wants to untie the egged around the [[lulav]] one should only untie it after one fulfilled the mitzvah already. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Sukkot]] pg 440) </ref><br />
<br />
==Eating after the Ninth Hour==<br />
<br />
#One shouldn't have a (bread) meal after the ninth hour (in halachic hours) in the day just like every Erev [[Yom Tov]]. See [[Kavod and Oneg Yom Tov]] and [[Not eating on Erev Shabbat]]. <ref>Mishna Brurah 668:1, Kaf HaChaim 668:1 </ref><br />
