==Tachanun==
==Origin of the obligation==
===Holidays===
# Some hold that this law is a biblical obligation, while others hold it's of rabbinic origin. <ref> See Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 at length. The Chida (Machzik Bracha 290:1) writes that going out of the way to complete a hundred [[Brachot]] daily is only a virtuous practice. However, the Petach Dvir 290:3, Sdei Chemed (Chet 34), and Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 write that it’s a complete obligation. [Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] vol 2 pg 339) writes that even the Chida may mean that it’s only virtuous to go out of the way to make the Bracha oneself but accumulating a hundred (including [[Brachot]] one listens to such as the [[Brachot]] of Torah reading) is an obligation.] Tur 46 also says this obligation is also rabbinic and the pasuk brought in menachot 43b is an asmachta. The Arizal in Shaar Ruach Hakodesh 4a says that there is a level in blessing in heaven that the only way to get to it is saying 100 [[berachot]] each day. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:7 writes that a person is obligated to make a hundred [[brachot]] daily. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Mordechai Eliyahu 6:7 concurs. </ref>
# There are several sources and reasons given for this law including:
## David Hamelech made an institution to say 100 [[berachot]] a day to stop the plague that was killing a 100 people every day. <ref> Bamidbar Rabba Parasha 18, Tur 46 quoting Rabbi Natronai Gaon, Daat Zekenim MeBaalei Tosfot (Devarim 10:12) </ref>
## The Gematria of each letter of צדיק/tzaddik - 90 / צ [[amen]]'s a day, 4 / ד Kedushos a day, 10 / י [[amen]] yehiy shemei rabba's, and 100 / ק [[berachot]] a day.<ref>The [http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=34973&st=&pgnum=357 Reishit Chachma (Shaar HaKedusha ch. 17 s.v. BePrat)] writes that the letters of Tzaddik are a hint to saying 90 amens, 4 Kedushot, 100 [[Brachot]], 10 Kadishim. Part of this hint, the Reishit Chachma derives from the Zohar (Tikkunim page 29). </ref>
## Corresponding to the one hundred sockets of the mishkan.<ref>The Baal HaTurim (Shemot 38:27) writes that the institution of reciting 100 [[brachot]] each day corresponds to the 100 sockets of the Mishkan.</ref>
## The gemara (Menachot 43b) learns from the Pasuk (Devarim 10:12) "וְעַתָּה֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מָ֚ה ה' אֱלֹקיךָ שֹׁאֵ֖ל מֵֽעִמָּ֑ךְ כִּ֣י אִם־לְ֠יִרְאָה" and says that we shouldn't read it as "מה" (what) but instead "me'ah" (100). <ref> Rashi Menachot 43b</ref> The exposition may be based on the fact that the verse has 100 letters<ref> Tosafot Menachot 43b "shoel" suggest that it is because the verse has 100 letters. </ref> or because Mah in gematria using At-Bash is 100.<ref>Daat Zekenim MeBaalei HaTosfot (Devarim 10:12), Baal HaTurim (Devarim 10:12). See further in the Baal HaTurim who says that it can be based on the gematria of ממך being 100 (but requires further explanation).</ref>
## Moshe received it as a Halacha LeMoshe MeSinai <ref> See Sh"t Yosef Ometz 50 in name of Sefer Charedim, Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 quotes this and discusses whether it is on a deoraitta obligation </ref>
## The pasuk says "Ki Ken Yivorach Gaver" (Tehillim 128:4) and since "Ki Ken" has the gemara of 100, the pasuk can be read to say that a person blesses 100 times a day.<ref>Daat Zekenim MeBaalei HaTosfot (Devarim 10:12)</ref>


==Practically how to get to 100==
#According to Sephardim there is no [[Tachanun]] on the following days: [[Rosh Chodesh]], the [[month of Nissan]], [[Pesach]] Sheni (14th of Iyyar), [[Lag BaOmer]], [[Rosh Chodesh]] Sivan until the 12th of Sivan, [[Tisha BeAv]], 15th of Av, [[Erev Rosh Hashana]], [[Erev Yom Kippur]], from the 11th of Tishrei until the 2nd of Cheshvan<ref>Kaf HaChaim (Orach Chaim 131:98, 669:42), Chazon Ovadia (Yamim Noraim, page 394). Rabbi Shmuel Pinchas Gelbard in Rite and Reason: 1050 Jewish Customs and Their Sources pg. 97 collects 3 reasons for not saying tachanun after sukkot:  
Here's a basic breakdown of how you might say 100 [[berachot]] in a day:
*Hamapil (1)
*[[Shacharit]] (48)
**Birchat Hashachar (15)
**[[Tefillin]] (2)
**[[Tzitzit]] (1)
**[[Asher Yatzar]] (1)
**Al Netilat Yadim (1)
**Elokay Neshama (1)
**[[Birchot HaTorah]] (3)
**Baruch She'amar (1)
**Yishtabach (1)
**Birchot Shema (3)
**Shemona Esrei (19)
*[[Mincha]] (19)
**[[Shemoneh Esrei]] (19)
*[[Mariv]] (24)
**[[Berachot]] before Shema (2)
**[[Berachot]] after Shema (3)
**Shemona Ersrei (19)
*Hamotzi meal (6)
**Al netilat yadim (1)
**Hamotzi (1)
**[[Birkat hamazon]] (4)
*4 of your choice
**[[Shehakol]]
**[[Mezonot]]
**Ha'eytz
**Ha'adama
**Borei nefashot
**Al hamichya
**Asher yatzar
**Oseh ma'aseh bereyshit
<ref> Magen Avraham 46:8, Mishna Brurah 46:14 </ref>


==How is a day counted?==
#Since tachanun is not recited for most of the month because of the holidays, they are not recited during the days following sukkot because it as if most of the month is comprised of holy days.
# There is a dispute whether we count a day for the purposes of this halacha starting from the night starting from the day. The majority of poskim hold that the count of a hundred [[Brachot]] starts at night. <ref> Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 writes that it seems from most rishonim that we count from the day to the night, however he writes that it seems from Bet Yosef and Mishna Brurah that we count from the night to the day based on the fact that they begin their count of the [[brachot]] from HaMapil. Additionally, Sh"t Betzel Chachmah 4:155 proved from the poskim's counting of the [[brachot]] on [[Shabbat]] that we count from the nighttime. Sefer Ha'itim 195 says that the count starts from the morning and finishes the next morning. If one brought [[shabbat]] in early Rabbi Shimon Sofer in Hitorerut [[Teshuva]] 3:502 says that the [[berachot]] count for the count of [[shabbat]], while Sh"t Bitzel Hachochma 4:155 says they count for the previous day. According to Rav Stern in Bitzel Hachochma, one would need to make up all [[berachot]] recited before [[shabbat]] starts, including the 7 of the shemoneh esrei and 4 of kriat shema, and if he starts the meal then those [[berachot]] as well. </ref>
#The month is suffused with mitzvot
==Who's obligated?==
#Throughout history it has been a time of joy: it is a month of forgiveness, Shlomo completed the beit hamikdash etc.</ref>, 8 days of [[Chanuka]], 15th of Shevat, 14th-15th of Adar (and of Adar Sheni). <ref>Yalkut Yosef 131:36</ref>
# Some poskim say that women aren't obligated in making a hundred [[brachot]] daily since it's a time-bound positive obligation, <ref> Halichot Bayta 13:note 2 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Sh”t Teshuvot VeHanhagot 2:129, Sh”t Shevet HaKehati 3:63, Birkat Eitan (pg 62), Vezot HaBracha (pg 185, chapter 20), Sh”t Ateret Paz 1:1, Shevet HaLevi 5:23, and Sh”t Rivevot Efraim 3:47, 5:114 write that a women is exempt and some base it on the Magen Avraham regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema who disagrees with the Shagat Aryeh. </ref> while others say that they are as obligated as men. <ref> Rav Elyashiv in Yashiv Moshe (pg 19) and Birkat Eitan (pg 61), **Rav Herschel Schachter in “Women at [[Prayer]]” at yu.edu, Rav Ovadyah in Halichot Olam (vol 1 pg 59), Halacha Brurah 46:8 and Yalkut Yosef (Otzer Dinim LeIsha pg 75), and Halichot Bat Yisrael (end of chapter 14) write that a women is obligated since it’s a obligation that applies the whole day and is renewed every day similar to the Shagat Aryeh regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema.  see Contemporary Questions In Halacha and Hashkafa pg. 106 where he quotes opinions on both sides as well</ref>
#According to Ashkenazim, there is no [[Tachanun]] on the following days: [[Rosh Chodesh]], the [[month of Nissan]], [[Lag BaOmer]], [[Rosh Chodesh]] Sivan until [[Issru Chag]] of [[Shavuot]] (7th of Sivan in Israel and i.e. the 8th of Sivan outside), [[Tisha BeAv]], 15th of Av<ref>see  [http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/o/48955491.html Aish.com] for a list of six events which occurred on that date by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau </ref>, from [[Yom Kippur]] to [[Issru Chag]] of [[Sukkot]] (24th Tishrei), [[Chanuka]], 15th of Shevat, 14th-15th of Adar (and of Adar Sheni). Also there is no [[Tachanun]] at the [[mincha]] before these days, except that on at [[mincha]] of [[erev Rosh Hashana]] and [[erev Yom Kippur]] there is [[Tachanun]]. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 22:8</ref>.
#Some have the practice not to say [[Tachanun]] on the 15th of Iyar as a safek (doubt) for the day of [[Pesach]] Sheni, however, the authorities say that this is an incorrect minhag. <ref>Yalkut Yosef 131:37</ref>
#One shouldn't recite Tachanun on Motzei Shabbat until after Chatzot.<ref>Kaf HaChaim 131:14</ref>


==What counts as a bracha?==
===Occasions===
# If one is unable to accumulate a hundred [[brachot]] on [[Shabbat]] or [[Yom Tov]] one can listen to the [[brachot]] of Torah reading with intent to accumulate a hundred [[brachot]]. <ref> The Magen Avraham 46:8 writes that one should only rely on accumulating a hundred [[Brachot]] using [[Brachot]] that one heard from the [[Brachot]] on Torah reading if one is unable to make the [[Brachot]] oneself by eating snacks. This is also the opinion of the S”A HaRav 46, and Mishna Brurah 46:14. See Sh"t Yabia Omer 8:23:24. </ref>
# Some say that answering [[Zimmun]] is considered one of a person’s hundred [[Brachot]] every day. <Ref> Sefer Keysad Mezamnin 1:22 </ref>
# Some count the "Baruch Elokenu" in Ein KeElokenu as a bracha to make up to a hundred [[brachot]]. <Ref> Taz 46 </ref>
# If one extends his third meal on [[Shabbat]] some hold that the [[brachot]] of [[benching]] aren't counted towards the hundred [[brachot]] of that day, while others consider it as part of the [[brachot]] of [[Shabbat]]. <ref> If one extends the third meal of [[Shabbat]] past the time of sunset, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] vol 2 pg 337) and Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 5:23 hold that the [[brachot]] one makes during the meal and the [[Birkat HaMazon]] count towards the hundred [[brachot]] of [[Shabbat]]. However, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Sh”t Minchat Shlomo 2:4:27, Halichot Shlomo ([[tefillah]] 22:23)) writes that it doesn't count towards the hundred [[brachot]] of [[Shabbat]]. </ref>


==Getting to a hundred on [[Shabbat]] and [[Yom Tov]]==
#The following occasions also warrant no [[Tachanun]]:
# Because we don't say a [[Shemoneh Esrei]] of 19 [[brachot]] but rather of 7,  one should try to accumulate a hundred through having snacks. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 290:1</ref>  
##[[Wedding]]
# According to the Mishna Brurah one is only lacking 13 [[Brachot]] on [[Shabbat]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 46:14 </ref> The following is the Mishna Brurah's count of 87 [[Brachot]]:
##[[Brit Milah]]
* HaMapil (1)
##[[Siyum Masechet]]<ref>Sh"t Yabia Omer 4:13 writes that one doesn't say [[Tachanun]] in the [[davening]] right before a siyum just like the mishna in Taanit (31a) says that in they made a holiday on Tu BeAv because certain families finished for the season the mitzvah of chopping wood for the Bet HaMikdash. See also [http://dailyhalacha.com/Display.asp?ClipID=596 Rabbi Mansour on DailyHalacha.com].</ref>
* Asher yatzer (1)
# If there is a chatan the day of his wedding in the shul the entire congregation does not recite tachanun. If a chatan is present on a Tanit Tzibur the entire congregation does not recite nefilat apayim but does recite the special selichot for the tanit tzibur, however, the chatan himself does not recite then the selichot.<ref>Likutei Mahariach v. 3 p. 415 and 455</ref> Some say that the chatan should recite selichot on a tanit tzibur.<Ref>Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Yismach Lev v. 1 p. 379</ref>
* [[Netilat yadayim]] (1)
#If a chatan is in sheva brachot on a tanit tzibur he and the whole congregation should still recite the selichot but not tachanun.<ref>Or Letzion (v. 3 ch. 25 fnt. 1), Aliba Dhilchata v. 98 p. 54 quoting Yishmach Lev Nesuin v. 1 p. 202, [https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=154795 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Balak 5781 min 29)]</ref>
* [[Brachot]] Hashachar (15)
# If there is a one making a brit milah in the shul the entire congregation does not recite tachanun. If he is present on a Tanit Tzibur the entire congregation does not recite nefilat apayim but does recite the special selichot for the tanit tzibur, however, the one making the brit does not recite then the selichot.<ref>Likutei Mahariach v. 3 p. 415</ref>

# For the laws of making one hundred [[Brachot]] on [[Yom Kippur]] see the [[Yom Kippur#Making one hundred Brachot|Yom Kippur]] page.
==Making an unnecessary bracha==
# It is forbidden to make an unnecessary bracha in order to get to a hundred [[brachot]]. <ref> Magen Avraham 46:8 based on gemara in Yoma 70a which prohibits the recitation of unnecessary [[brachot]]. </ref>


==Is intent (Kavanah) required?==
===Women===
# Some hold that no specific intent is required when saying [[brachot]] in order to fulfill the mitzvah of making a hundred [[brachot]]. However, one must make sure to make the bracha with the proper Kavana of the words or at least intent that one is speaking before Hashem in order that one fulfill the mitzvah of a hundred [[brachot]]. <ref> Rabbi Dovid Aharon Brizman (Av Bet Din Philadelphia) in Vol. 59 No. 1 Tishrei 5766 pg 4-5 writes that since the entire mitzvah of making a hundred [[brachot]] is meant to inspire Yirat Hashem one doesn't need specific intent to fulfill the mitzvah and making the [[brachot]] with Kavanah is sufficient. However, he does quote the Yaavetz and [[Seder]] HaYom who hold that a bracha without intent doesn't count for this mitzvah. Nonetheless, he suggests that perhaps intent that one is speaking before Hashem suffices (like the Grach in Hilchot [[Tefillah]]). </ref>
 
#The minhag is that women don't say [[Tachanun]].<ref>Halichot Beitah 7:1, Piskei Teshuvot 131:1, [[Tefillah]] KeHilchata 15:5. See Rivevot Ephraim 4:34</ref>
 
===Night time===
 
#One shouldn't say [[Tachanun]] at night. If a congregation reached [[Tachanun]] of [[Mincha]] after sunset, they may say [[Tachanun]] during [[Bein HaShemashot]], but if the congregation doesn't want to, they don't have to and one shouldn't cause a fight about this.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 131:19</ref>
 
==Lamnase'ach==
 
#According to Sephardim anytime when one doesn't say Tachanun one also doesn't say Lamnase'ach.<ref>Ben Ish Chai (Ki Tisa n. 17)</ref> According to Ashkenazim one doesn't say Lamnase'ach on Rosh Chodesh, Chanuka, Purim, the 14th and 15th of Adar Aleph, Erev Pesach, Erev Yom Kippur, Tisha B'Av, or in the house of a mourner. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:2</ref>
 
==The Kedusha of Yotzer and Uva Letzion==
 
#The Minhag is to be lenient to say the [[Kedusha]] of Yotzer and Uva Letzion privately without the [[minyan]]. However, it’s proper that when says by oneself one should say it with the Torah reading tune. <ref>There’s a dispute in the Rishonim whether these kedushot are Dvar Shebekedusha that need to be said with a minyan or not. Masechet Soferim 16:12 says that these Kedushot can be said by an individual.
 
*However the Zohar (Yitro 34a quoted by Bet Yosef) says not to say it without a minyan. Rambam (Kriyat Shema 7:17) writes that an individual should skip it rather than say it without a minyan. However Sh”t Rambam 313 (Bilav Edition) writes that one an individual can say it. So writes Rabben Avraham ben HaRambam (beginning of Maseh Roke’ach) and Rabbenu Yerucham(3:2 pg 24d), and Mahari Avuhav (Tur 59) that the Rambam retracted from his opinion in Yad Chazaka. The following hold it’s a Dvar Shebekedusha: Rav Amram Goan hashalem 1:15 pg 33) in name of Rav Tzemach Goan by Kedushat Uva Lesion and Rav Saadiah Goan by Kedushat Yotzer, Shibolei HaLeket Brachot 13 in name of many Geonim, Piskei Riaz (Megilah 3:3), and Sh”t Rashba (1:7,5:9), while the following hold it can be said by an individual: Ravya 1:2,66, Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah 13a in name of some Geonim, Hagahot Maymonit Tefilah 7:90 in name of Rashi, Sh”t Maharam 143, Mordechai Brachot 69, Rosh (Brachot 3:18, Megilah 3:7), Tur 59, Orchot Chaim (Din Kedusha Meyushav 1), and Ritva Megilah 23b.
*Some Rishonim differentiate between Yotzer which can’t be said by an individual and Kedushat Uva LeTzion which can be said by an individual including Ran (Megilah 13b), Ramban (Lekutim Beginng of Brachot s.v. VaAni Evin S”A 59:3, Rabbenu Yerucham (3:3), and Rivavan ([[Brachot]] 45b). Bet Yosef 59:3 concludes even though the Minhag is to say it privately since there’s no Gemara on the topic one should follow the Zohar as halacha. Nonetheless, as by Vayavor (which is Dvar Shebekesha) one can say it privately with the Torah reading tune (Sh”t Rashba 1:211) so too by concerning Kedushat Yotzer one can say it privately  with the Torah reading tune (Sh”t Trumat HaDeshen 8). S”A 59:3 writes that some say an individual can say Kedushat Yotzer and some say not to and one should be concerned for this opinion and say it with the Torah reading tune. The Rama adds that the minhag is to say it as an individual. Sh”t Radvaz 4:10 and Biur HaGra 59:5 rule that even saying with the Torah tune isn’t sufficient and an individual should just skip it.
*Ben Ish Chai (Od Yosef Chai Shemot 6-7) writes that the Minhag Bagdad is to say it with the Torah reading tune to satisfy the opinion of the Zohar. Kesher Gudal 10:11, Levush 59:3, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 59:2, Magen Giborim (Aleph HaMagen 59:4), Mishna Brurah 59:11, Halacha Brurah 59:10, Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 5:7(2). The Minhag nowadays is to say it privately even without the Torah reading tune but it’s preferable to say it with the tune.</ref> If there’s one is praying in a [[minyan]] that already said Kedushat Yotzer (for example one is late) one can be lenient to say it individually even without the Torah reading tune. <ref>Pri [[Chadash]] 59:3 writes that everyone agrees that if one is praying with a [[minyan]] that already said it that one can say it individually. This quoted by Pri Megadim (A”A 59:3) Magen Giborim (Aleph HaMagen 59:3), and Mishna Brurah 59:10. However the Mamer Mordechai 59:6 argues that it seems that all the poskim (including S”A) don’t make this distinction. This quoted by Shalmei Tzibbor pg 91c, Minchat Aharon 13:5, Od Yosef Chai Shemot 7, and Kaf HaChaim 59:21. Halacha Brurah 59:10 writes that since the Minhag is to be lenient in the first place to say it privately even without Torah reading tune, in such a situation one can be lenient. </ref>
#One must sit for Kedushat Yotzer and if one was previously standing one should sit. Ashkenazim hold that it’s preferable to sit but not necessary. <ref>Sh”t Teshuvat HaRambam (Mekisei Nirdamim, Freedman, 33, Bilav 262) writes that it’s improper to stand for Kedushat Yotzer especially when the entire congregation is sitting (he even calls it Lo Tigodedo!). The Zohar (Trumah pg 132b) writes that one should sit for Kedushat Yotzer. This is brought down by Arizal (Shaar Kavanot 2 Chazarat HaAmida 38d), Magen Avraham 59:2, Solet Belulah 59:1, Kesher Gudal 10:10, Shalmei Tzibbor 91c, Siddur 1, Chesed LeAlafim 59:2, Sharei Teshuva 59:3, Ben Ish Chai (Shemot 2). Pri Etz Chaim (Chazarat Amida 4) and Kaf HaChaim 59:20 extend this also to Uva Letzion. Thus, Halacha Brurah 59:11 rules that one must sit even if he was previously standing. However, Sh”t Rama MePano 102 writes that if one was standing and sat for [[Kedusha]] one is making a mistake and if one was sitting and stood for [[Kedusha]] it’s recognized that he’s not wise, implying that one shouldn’t change from the position he is in already. So writes Knesset HaGedolah (who limits the Rama MePano to Kedushat Yotzer), Olot Tamit 59:1, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 59:2, and Machasit Shekel 59:2. Bear Heteiv 59:3 summarizes both the Magen Avraham and Rama MePano. Based on this, Mishna Brurah 59:12 writes that it’s preferable to sit for Kedushat Yotzer. </ref>
#One should kiss his [[Tefillin]] Shel Yad during Kedushat Yotzer. <ref>Ben Ish Chai (Shemot 2) and Halacha Brurah 59:11. </ref>
#The congregation should say it out loud and if an individual says it he should say it quietly. <ref>Ravyah [[Brachot]] 1:66, Hagahot Maimon (Tefilot Kol HaShana 3), Rama 59:3 say that Kedushat Yotzer should be said out loud. Eliyah Raba 59:4 says that this only applies with the congregation but an individual should say it quietly. Sharei Teshuva 59:3 and Mishna Brurah 59:13 quote the Eliyah Raba and Shalmei Tzibbor pg 155a who says that there’s no concern for an individual to say it aloud. Halacha Brurah 59:12 rules like the Eliyah Raba because that distinction is clear in the Ramban (Lekutim beginning of [[Brachot]] s.v. VeAni Evin). </ref>
#When saying Ashrei one should have the proper Kavana (concentration) especially for the pasuk Pote'ach Et Yadecha. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:1</ref>
#One may not leave shul before the [[Kedusha]] of Uva Letzion. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:4</ref>
#One should say the aramaic translation of the Kedusha of Uva Letzion quietly. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:3. Ben Ish Chai (Ki Tisa n. 16) writes that even though there's some kabbalists who say it aloud the minhag of Baghdad is to say it quietly.</ref>
 
==Aleinu==
 
#One should say Aleinu standing<ref>Ben Ish Chai (Ki Tissa, 18) </ref> with awe and trepidation. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 26:6, Chida in Machzik Bracha 132:2</ref> According to tradition, it was instituted by Yehoshua Ben Nun.<ref>Teshuvat Geonim (Shaarei Teshuva 43), Chida in Machzik Bracha 132:2 and Meam Loez Yehoshua 6:15)</ref>
#When the congregation is saying Aleinu, one should also say it along with them. <ref>Mishna Brurah 65:9, Yalkut Yosef ([[Tefillah]] vol 2, p. 462)</ref>
#One may not leave shul before Aleinu is recited at the end of [[davening]], even if he has personally finished, unless there is a particular need. <ref>Sh"t Rivivot Ephraim 1:43:1 </ref>
#Women are not obligated to recite Aleinu but it is a praiseworthy thing for them to do so.<ref>Yalkut Yosef Dinim L'isha page 38, Machaze Eliyahu 20 and Halichot Bas Yisroel 2:13</ref>
 
==Shir Shel Yom==
 
#The Ashkenazic custom is to say Shir Shel Yom after Aleinu. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 26:6</ref>

According to Ashkenazim, there is no Tachanun on the following days: Rosh Chodesh, the month of Nissan, Lag BaOmer, Rosh Chodesh Sivan until Issru Chag of Shavuot (7th of Sivan in Israel and i.e. the 8th of Sivan outside), Tisha BeAv, 15th of Av[3], from Yom Kippur to Issru Chag of Sukkot (24th Tishrei), Chanuka, 15th of Shevat, 14th-15th of Adar (and of Adar Sheni). Also there is no Tachanun at the mincha before these days, except that on at mincha of erev Rosh Hashana and erev Yom Kippur there is Tachanun. [4].
  3. Some have the practice not to say Tachanun on the 15th of Iyar as a safek (doubt) for the day of Pesach Sheni, however, the authorities say that this is an incorrect minhag. [5]
  4. One shouldn't recite Tachanun on Motzei Shabbat until after Chatzot.[6]

Occasions

  1. The following occasions also warrant no Tachanun:
    1. Wedding
    2. Brit Milah
    3. Siyum Masechet[7]
  2. If there is a chatan the day of his wedding in the shul the entire congregation does not recite tachanun. If a chatan is present on a Tanit Tzibur the entire congregation does not recite nefilat apayim but does recite the special selichot for the tanit tzibur, however, the chatan himself does not recite then the selichot.[8] Some say that the chatan should recite selichot on a tanit tzibur.[9]
  3. If a chatan is in sheva brachot on a tanit tzibur he and the whole congregation should still recite the selichot but not tachanun.[10]
  4. If there is a one making a brit milah in the shul the entire congregation does not recite tachanun. If he is present on a Tanit Tzibur the entire congregation does not recite nefilat apayim but does recite the special selichot for the tanit tzibur, however, the one making the brit does not recite then the selichot.[11]

Women

  1. The minhag is that women don't say Tachanun.[12]

Night time

  1. One shouldn't say Tachanun at night. If a congregation reached Tachanun of Mincha after sunset, they may say Tachanun during Bein HaShemashot, but if the congregation doesn't want to, they don't have to and one shouldn't cause a fight about this.[13]

Lamnase'ach

  1. According to Sephardim anytime when one doesn't say Tachanun one also doesn't say Lamnase'ach.[14] According to Ashkenazim one doesn't say Lamnase'ach on Rosh Chodesh, Chanuka, Purim, the 14th and 15th of Adar Aleph, Erev Pesach, Erev Yom Kippur, Tisha B'Av, or in the house of a mourner. [15]

The Kedusha of Yotzer and Uva Letzion

  1. The Minhag is to be lenient to say the Kedusha of Yotzer and Uva Letzion privately without the minyan. However, it’s proper that when says by oneself one should say it with the Torah reading tune. [16] If there’s one is praying in a minyan that already said Kedushat Yotzer (for example one is late) one can be lenient to say it individually even without the Torah reading tune. [17]
  2. One must sit for Kedushat Yotzer and if one was previously standing one should sit. Ashkenazim hold that it’s preferable to sit but not necessary. [18]
  3. One should kiss his Tefillin Shel Yad during Kedushat Yotzer. [19]
  4. The congregation should say it out loud and if an individual says it he should say it quietly. [20]
  5. When saying Ashrei one should have the proper Kavana (concentration) especially for the pasuk Pote'ach Et Yadecha. [21]
  6. One may not leave shul before the Kedusha of Uva Letzion. [22]
  7. One should say the aramaic translation of the Kedusha of Uva Letzion quietly. [23]

Aleinu

  1. One should say Aleinu standing[24] with awe and trepidation. [25] According to tradition, it was instituted by Yehoshua Ben Nun.[26]
  2. When the congregation is saying Aleinu, one should also say it along with them. [27]
  3. One may not leave shul before Aleinu is recited at the end of davening, even if he has personally finished, unless there is a particular need. [28]
  4. Women are not obligated to recite Aleinu but it is a praiseworthy thing for them to do so.[29]

Shir Shel Yom

  1. The Ashkenazic custom is to say Shir Shel Yom after Aleinu. [30]

    1. Since tachanun is not recited for most of the month because of the holidays, they are not recited during the days following sukkot because it as if most of the month is comprised of holy days.
    2. The month is suffused with mitzvot
    3. Throughout history it has been a time of joy: it is a month of forgiveness, Shlomo completed the beit hamikdash etc.

  16. There’s a dispute in the Rishonim whether these kedushot are Dvar Shebekedusha that need to be said with a minyan or not. Masechet Soferim 16:12 says that these Kedushot can be said by an individual.
    • However the Zohar (Yitro 34a quoted by Bet Yosef) says not to say it without a minyan. Rambam (Kriyat Shema 7:17) writes that an individual should skip it rather than say it without a minyan. However Sh”t Rambam 313 (Bilav Edition) writes that one an individual can say it. So writes Rabben Avraham ben HaRambam (beginning of Maseh Roke’ach) and Rabbenu Yerucham(3:2 pg 24d), and Mahari Avuhav (Tur 59) that the Rambam retracted from his opinion in Yad Chazaka. The following hold it’s a Dvar Shebekedusha: Rav Amram Goan hashalem 1:15 pg 33) in name of Rav Tzemach Goan by Kedushat Uva Lesion and Rav Saadiah Goan by Kedushat Yotzer, Shibolei HaLeket Brachot 13 in name of many Geonim, Piskei Riaz (Megilah 3:3), and Sh”t Rashba (1:7,5:9), while the following hold it can be said by an individual: Ravya 1:2,66, Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah 13a in name of some Geonim, Hagahot Maymonit Tefilah 7:90 in name of Rashi, Sh”t Maharam 143, Mordechai Brachot 69, Rosh (Brachot 3:18, Megilah 3:7), Tur 59, Orchot Chaim (Din Kedusha Meyushav 1), and Ritva Megilah 23b.
    • Some Rishonim differentiate between Yotzer which can’t be said by an individual and Kedushat Uva LeTzion which can be said by an individual including Ran (Megilah 13b), Ramban (Lekutim Beginng of Brachot s.v. VaAni Evin S”A 59:3, Rabbenu Yerucham (3:3), and Rivavan (Brachot 45b). Bet Yosef 59:3 concludes even though the Minhag is to say it privately since there’s no Gemara on the topic one should follow the Zohar as halacha. Nonetheless, as by Vayavor (which is Dvar Shebekesha) one can say it privately with the Torah reading tune (Sh”t Rashba 1:211) so too by concerning Kedushat Yotzer one can say it privately with the Torah reading tune (Sh”t Trumat HaDeshen 8). S”A 59:3 writes that some say an individual can say Kedushat Yotzer and some say not to and one should be concerned for this opinion and say it with the Torah reading tune. The Rama adds that the minhag is to say it as an individual. Sh”t Radvaz 4:10 and Biur HaGra 59:5 rule that even saying with the Torah tune isn’t sufficient and an individual should just skip it.
    • Ben Ish Chai (Od Yosef Chai Shemot 6-7) writes that the Minhag Bagdad is to say it with the Torah reading tune to satisfy the opinion of the Zohar. Kesher Gudal 10:11, Levush 59:3, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 59:2, Magen Giborim (Aleph HaMagen 59:4), Mishna Brurah 59:11, Halacha Brurah 59:10, Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 5:7(2). The Minhag nowadays is to say it privately even without the Torah reading tune but it’s preferable to say it with the tune.
  17. Pri Chadash 59:3 writes that everyone agrees that if one is praying with a minyan that already said it that one can say it individually. This quoted by Pri Megadim (A”A 59:3) Magen Giborim (Aleph HaMagen 59:3), and Mishna Brurah 59:10. However the Mamer Mordechai 59:6 argues that it seems that all the poskim (including S”A) don’t make this distinction. This quoted by Shalmei Tzibbor pg 91c, Minchat Aharon 13:5, Od Yosef Chai Shemot 7, and Kaf HaChaim 59:21. Halacha Brurah 59:10 writes that since the Minhag is to be lenient in the first place to say it privately even without Torah reading tune, in such a situation one can be lenient.
  18. Sh”t Teshuvat HaRambam (Mekisei Nirdamim, Freedman, 33, Bilav 262) writes that it’s improper to stand for Kedushat Yotzer especially when the entire congregation is sitting (he even calls it Lo Tigodedo!). The Zohar (Trumah pg 132b) writes that one should sit for Kedushat Yotzer. This is brought down by Arizal (Shaar Kavanot 2 Chazarat HaAmida 38d), Magen Avraham 59:2, Solet Belulah 59:1, Kesher Gudal 10:10, Shalmei Tzibbor 91c, Siddur 1, Chesed LeAlafim 59:2, Sharei Teshuva 59:3, Ben Ish Chai (Shemot 2). Pri Etz Chaim (Chazarat Amida 4) and Kaf HaChaim 59:20 extend this also to Uva Letzion. Thus, Halacha Brurah 59:11 rules that one must sit even if he was previously standing. However, Sh”t Rama MePano 102 writes that if one was standing and sat for Kedusha one is making a mistake and if one was sitting and stood for Kedusha it’s recognized that he’s not wise, implying that one shouldn’t change from the position he is in already. So writes Knesset HaGedolah (who limits the Rama MePano to Kedushat Yotzer), Olot Tamit 59:1, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 59:2, and Machasit Shekel 59:2. Bear Heteiv 59:3 summarizes both the Magen Avraham and Rama MePano. Based on this, Mishna Brurah 59:12 writes that it’s preferable to sit for Kedushat Yotzer.
  19. Ben Ish Chai (Shemot 2) and Halacha Brurah 59:11.
  20. Ravyah Brachot 1:66, Hagahot Maimon (Tefilot Kol HaShana 3), Rama 59:3 say that Kedushat Yotzer should be said out loud. Eliyah Raba 59:4 says that this only applies with the congregation but an individual should say it quietly. Sharei Teshuva 59:3 and Mishna Brurah 59:13 quote the Eliyah Raba and Shalmei Tzibbor pg 155a who says that there’s no concern for an individual to say it aloud. Halacha Brurah 59:12 rules like the Eliyah Raba because that distinction is clear in the Ramban (Lekutim beginning of Brachot s.v. VeAni Evin).
  21. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:1
  22. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:4
  23. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 25:3. Ben Ish Chai (Ki Tisa n. 16) writes that even though there's some kabbalists who say it aloud the minhag of Baghdad is to say it quietly.
