The period between [[Rosh Hashana]] and [[Yom Kippur]] is a unique time to improve one's character, deeds, and perform [[Teshuva]]. <ref> Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg.209 writes from Rav Chaim Vital in Shaar Hakavanot 90C that each day of the week between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur can atone for that day of the week for the entire year. For example, a Sunday can make up for all the sins he did on the Sundays throughout the year. Mishna Brura 603:2, Kaf Hachaim 662:14 agree. <br />

# During the [[Aseret Yemei Teshuva]], the conclusion of the Bracha HaEl HaKadosh is switched to HaMelech HaKadosh. <Ref>Rambam Hilchot [[Tefilla]] 10:13, S”A 582:1 based on Gemara [[Berachot]] 12b, Kitzur S”A 129:3, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190 </ref> If one forgot to say HaMelech HaKadosh and remembered within [[Toch Kedi Dibbur]] (2-3 seconds), then one should say HaMelech HaKadosh right then. <Ref>S”A 582:2, Kitzur S”A 129:3, Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 62, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190 </ref> If one remembered only afterwards one must start from the beginning of [[Shmoneh Esrei]]. <Ref>Rambam Hilchot [[Tefilla]] 10:13, Tur and S”A 582:1, Or Zarua 1:29, Orchot Chaim [[Tefilla]] 104, Rashba and Ritva on [[Berachot]] 12b, Kitzur S”A 129:3, Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 62, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190, Sh"t Rav Pealim OC 2:7. Haghot Maimoni on Rambam Tefilla 10:13 writes that this is the ruling of Rashi, the Smag, and the Maharam but adds that the Raavya Berachot Siman 40 disagrees and says that one is yotze bidieved. </ref> This is true if he began the first word of the next beracha <ref> Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190-192, Mishna Brura 487:1 in the Biur Haacha, Mteh Ephraim 582:9 Kaf Hachaim 582:10 </ref> or even if he just waited for that amount of time without reciting anything.<ref> Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 191-192 unlike the Kaf Hachaim 582:9 </ref>
 
# If one is unsure if he said Hakel Hakadosh or Hamelech Hakadosh, one should return to the beginning of the [[Shmoneh Esrei]], because we assume that he was used to saying Hakel Hakadosh like he does normally. This is true even if he knows that he added the other additions like zochreinu lechaim and mi kamocha. <ref> Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 63, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim page 192. Chazon Ovadia quotes some acharonim (Nitei Gavriel ROsh Hashana pg. 59 quoting the Taharat Hashulchan) who disagree and say that if you did mention zochreinu lichayim and mi kamocha then we can assume that you also said hamalech hakadosh.  </ref>

On the other hand, the Pri Megadim disagrees and thinks that one need not do so, as long as he corrects his mistake within Toch Kedi Dibbur. </ref>

However, the Kitzur S”A 129:4 writes that unless he remembers within [[Toch Kedi Dibbur]] he doesn’t go back. </ref>

# The conclusion of the Bracha Melech Ohev [[Tzedaka]] UMishpat is changed to HaMelech HaMishpat. <ref> Gemara [[Berachot]] 12b, Shulchan Aruch 582:2, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190 </ref> According to Ashkenazim, if one forgot, one doesn’t go back to the beginning of [[Shemona Esreh]]. <Ref>Rama 118:1, Mishna Brurah 582:9Darchei Moshe 582:3 based on Rabbeinu Yona that since we mention melech even in our regular text, one would not need to go back. Chacham Ovadia Yosef recommends for Ashkenazim that even though the Rama says that you do not need to go back, that one should in fact go back and stipulate: if I'm obligated to repeat [[Shmoneh Esrei]] then I'm praying for my obligation, and if the halacha is that I don't have to repeat, my [[prayer]] should be considered a voluntary [[prayer]]. This is the ruling of the Taz 118:2, Mor Uketzia 118  </ref> According to Sephardim, if one forgot and remembered within [[Toch Kedi Dibbur]] (2-3 seconds) then one should say HaMelech Hamishpat right then. If one remembered afterwards, some say that one should return to the Bracha of Hashiva, however, if one finished [[Shmoneh Esrei]] one must start from the beginning of [[Shmoneh Esrei]]. <Ref>Shulchan Aruch 582:2. Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim pg 193), Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 64, Sh"t Yabia Omer 2:8-10. Halichot Olam v. 2 p. 251 writes that this is the halacha and we don't say [[Safek Brachot LeHakel]]. However he adds that it is more correct to stipulate: if I'm obligated to repeat [[Shmoneh Esrei]] then I'm praying for my obligation, and if the halacha is that I don't have to repeat, my [[prayer]] should be considered a voluntary [[prayer]]. <br />  
 
* Rambam Hilchot Tefilla 10:13 rules that one must repeat the amida if he forgot to change to hamalech hamishpat. Or Zarua Hilchot Keriat Shema Siman 29 writes that this was also the ruling of the Rif. Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 194 cites a long list of rishonim who held this way including Rosh (Brachot 1:16), Rif (Brachot 6b), Rambam (Tefilla 10:13), Ramban (Milchamot Brachot 6b s.v. vod), Rashba (Brachot 12b s.v. amar), Ritva, and Maharam MiRutenberg (Tosfot Brachot 12b s.v. vhilchata). Meiri (Brachot 12b s.v. kol quotes the Rambam and Baal Hameor but doesn't even mention the Rabbenu Yona. The Bet Yosef 582:1 citing Rabbenu Manoach explains that the reason for this opinion is that melech ohev isn't interchangeable with hamelech hamishpat. The meaning of melech ohev is that Hashem the king uses justice and charity, however, hamelech hamispat means that Hashem is the king who is the judge of the world.

Mishna Brurah 54:4 agrees. The Maharshal is quoted (Dagul Mervava Orach Chaim 54:3) as arguing that the issue of interrupting is limited to pointless matters, but doesn't apply to praises of Hashem like Tehillim, which may be recited even in middle of Birkot Keriat Shema.  Emek Bracha pg 7 (Birkat Pesukei deZimra) notes how the Rambam (Hilchot Tefillah 7:13) records the custom of some communities to recite Az Yashir ''after'' Yishtabach and doesn't protest.  This Rambam would seemingly justify the Minhag to say Shir HaMaalot. Rav Pameranchik pushes back against this and argues that Az Yashir isn't a hefsek, because it's just a praise of Hashem. However, Shir HaMaalot is not purely praise of Hashem, and might be considered a hefsek.  He leaves the issue unresolved.

Latest revision as of 00:20, 16 August 2024

The period between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is a unique time to improve one's character, deeds, and perform Teshuva.[1]

Practices of Aseret Yemei Teshuva

  1. During aseret yimei teshuva, one should increase his involvement in charity, in good deeds and in learning torah.[2]
  2. Even one who isn't strict regarding bread baked by a non-Jew (Pat Akum) during the rest of the year should be strict about Pat Akum (and even Pat Palter, bread baked by a non-Jewish professional baker) during Aseret Yemei Teshuva.[3]
  3. Some add that taking on other extra stringencies is also appropriate during Aseres Yemei Teshuvah.[4] Many say that one should only be stringent in things which are not actually prohibited. However, one should not follow a more stringent opinion for just these ten days, as this would indicate that he believes something that is normally done all year is actually prohibited.[5]
  4. If a Jew turns on or raises the fire so that the bread bakes, that bread may be eaten during Aseret Yemei Teshuva.[6]

Changes in Shemonah Esreh

Hamelech Hakadosh

  1. During the Aseret Yemei Teshuva, the conclusion of the Bracha HaEl HaKadosh is switched to HaMelech HaKadosh.[7] If one accidentally said HaEl HaKadosh, but then caught his mistake within Toch Kedi Dibbur (2-3 seconds), one should say HaMelech HaKadosh right then.[8] If one remembered his mistake only after Toch Kedi Dibbur, then one must return to the beginning of Shmoneh Esrei[9] (even if one didn't yet begin the next bracha[10]). Once someone begins the first word of the next beracha, even if he remember his mistake within Toch Kedi Dibbur, he needs to repeat Shemonah Esrei.[11]
  2. If one is unsure if he said HaEl Hakadosh or Hamelech Hakadosh, then he should return to the beginning of the Shmoneh Esrei, because we assume that he said HaEl Hakadosh, as this is what he's used to saying. This is true even if he knows that he added the other additions such as zochreinu lechaim and mi kamocha.[12]
  3. If one recites melech hakadosh instead of hamelech hakadosh, he has fulfilled his obligation.[13]
  4. On Friday night, the words HaEl HaKadosh are changed to HaMelech HaKadosh in the Bracha Mein Sheva that the Sheliach Tzibbur says.[14]If he forgets and remembers before the end of the Bracha, then he goes back to HaEl HaKadosh. If he remembers after concluding the Bracha, then he doesn't repeat it.[15]

Hamelech Hamishpat

  1. The conclusion of the Bracha Melech Ohev Tzedaka UMishpat is changed to HaMelech HaMishpat.[16]
  2. According to Ashkenazim, if one accidentally recited the regular ending, one doesn’t go back to the beginning of Shemona Esreh.[17]
  3. According to Sephardim, if one forgot and remembered within Toch Kedi Dibbur (2-3 seconds), then one should say HaMelech Hamishpat right then. If one remembered afterwards, some say that one should return to the Beracha of Hashiva, but, if one already finished Shmoneh Esrei one must start from the beginning of Shmoneh Esrei.[18] If one is unsure, it’s the same as if one forgot.[19] However, some Sephardic poskim argue that the Minhag is like the Rama that if one remembered after Toch Kedi Dibbur one need not repeat anything.[20]

Other additions

  1. There are four other additions to Shmoneh Esrei: Zochrenu LeChaim, Mi Kamocha, U'chetov lichaim, and UveSefer Chaim.[21]
  2. If one forgot to say these additions and didn't yet say Hashem's name at the conclusion of the bracha, then one should go back to that addition, even though there are Shemot of Hashem between that addition and the conclusion of the bracha.[22]
  3. If one forgot to say these additions, then one doesn't need to repeat Shemona Esrei.[23]
  4. One may not skip UveSefer Chaim in order to catch Kedusha with the congregation, since according to some opinions it is integral to the Shemona Esrei. Additionally, it is inappropriate to rush away from a mitzvah that one is currently involved with, in order to fulfill another mitzvah. [24]

Changes in Kaddish

  1. The Ashkenazic minhag during the ten days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur (Aseret Yemei Teshuva) is to say "LeElah UleElah MeKol Birchata" in Kaddish instead of "LeElah Min Kol Birchata."[25] Most Sephardim do not change Kaddish during Aseret Yemai Teshuva, as there is Kabbalistic significance to the number of letters in the Kaddish.[26]

Other Changes in Tefillah

Hashem Hu HaElokim

  1. Sephardim recite "Hashem Hu HaElokim" twice right before "Hashem Melech" before Pesukei DeZimra during Aseret Yimei Teshuva.[27]

Shir Hamaalot

  1. Many have the custom to recite Shir Hamaalot Mimaamakim (Tehillim 130) during Shacharit after Yishtabach before the Kaddish,[28] but some Ashkenazim don't have this practice.[29]

Avinu Malkenu

  1. After the Chazarat Hashatz during Shacharit and Mincha, we add the prayer of Avinu Malkenu.[30]
  2. Even a person who prays privately should add this.[31]
  3. On Shabbat, Ashkenazim do not recite Avinu Malkenu at all,[32] but there are different Minhagim among Sepharadim. Most Sepharadim recite it on Shabbat and omit the lines that are explicitly about sinning.[33]

Other Practices

Weddings

  1. It is permissible to get married during Elul[34] or during the Aseret Yimei Teshuva.[35]

Shabbat Shuva

  1. The Shabbat during Aseret Yimei Teshuva is referred to as Shabbat Shuva, based on the opening words of the Haftara "Shuva Yisrael..." (Hoshea 14:2). One should not call up a child under Bar Mitzva to read the Maftir and Haftara for this week.[36]
  2. The minhag is for the Rabbi of the community to give a Drasha on Shabbat Shuva about Hilchot Yom Kippur and Sukkot as well as inspiration for Teshuva.[37]
  3. It is forbidden to fast on Shabbat Shuva.[38]

  1. ↑ Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg.209 writes from Rav Chaim Vital in Shaar Hakavanot 90C that each day of the week between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur can atone for that day of the week for the entire year. For example, a Sunday can make up for all the sins he did on the Sundays throughout the year. Mishna Brura 603:2, Kaf Hachaim 662:14 agree.
    • The Gemara Rosh Hashana 18a writes that when the pasuk says דרשו ה' בהמצאו קראוהו בהיותו קרוב it refers to aseret yimei teshuva

Aruch Hashulchan 603:2 writes that therefore someone who is not usually makpid on Yashan or on "Glatt Kosher" should not take that up only for Aseres Yemei Teshuvah. However, B'Yitzchak Yikra (Rabbi Avigdor Nebenzahl) to Orach Chaim 603, appears to disagree.

Haghot Maimoni on Rambam Tefilla 10:13 writes that this is the ruling of Rashi, the Smag, and the Maharam, but adds that the Raavya Berachot Siman 40 disagrees and says that one is yotze bidieved.
  10. ↑ This is the view of Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 191-192. Conversely, the Kaf Hachaim 582:9 posits that as long as one didn't start the next bracha of Shemonah Esreh, one can correct his error, even after Toch Kedi Dibbur. He compares this to having a pause between the bracha on food and actually eating the food, which is bdiavad (after the fact) acceptable. However, Chazon Ovadia argues that this isn't comparable to our case.
  11. ↑ Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190-192, Mishna Brura 487:1 in the Biur Halacha, Mateh Ephraim 582:9, Shaarei Teshuva 582, and Kaf Hachaim 582:10 all concur that once one started the next bracha, one must repeat Shemona Esrei. On the other hand, the Pri Megadim disagrees and thinks that one need not do so, as long as he corrects his mistake within Toch Kedi Dibbur.
  12. ↑ Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 63, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim page 192. Chazon Ovadia quotes some acharonim (Nitei Gavriel ROsh Hashana pg. 59 quoting the Taharat Hashulchan) who disagree and say that if you did mention zochreinu lichayim and mi kamocha, then we can assume that you also said hamalech hakadosh.
  13. ↑ Sh"t Yabia Omer 2:29:1, Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 63
  14. ↑ Shulchan Aruch 582:3
  15. ↑ Mishna Brurah 582:11 writes that if he remembers before the end of the Bracha he goes back, but if he only recalls after he finishes the Bracha, there’s a dispute in the achronim. The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 129:4 disagrees and writes that unless he remembers within Toch Kedi Dibbur, he doesn’t go back.
  16. ↑ Gemara Berachot 12b, Shulchan Aruch 582:2, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 190
  17. ↑ Rama 118:1, Mishna Brurah 582:9, Darchei Moshe 582:3 based on Rabbeinu Yona that since we mention "Melech" even in our regular text, one would not need to go back. Chacham Ovadia Yosef recommends for Ashkenazim that even though the Rama says that you do not need to go back, that one should in fact go back and stipulate: if I'm obligated to repeat Shmoneh Esrei then I'm praying for my obligation, and if the halacha is that I don't have to repeat, my prayer should be considered a voluntary prayer. This is the ruling of the Taz 118:2, Mor Uketzia 118
  18. ↑ Shulchan Aruch 582:2, Sh"t Yabia Omer 2:8-10. Halichot Olam v. 2 p. 251, Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim pg 193), Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 64. Rav Ovadia writes that this is the halacha and we don't say Safek Brachot LeHakel. However he adds that it is more correct to stipulate: if I'm obligated to repeat Shmoneh Esrei then I'm praying for my obligation, and if the halacha is that I don't have to repeat, my prayer should be considered a voluntary prayer.
    • Rambam Hilchot Tefilla 10:13 rules that one must repeat the amida if he forgot to change to HaMelech HaMishpat. Or Zarua Hilchot Keriat Shema Siman 29 writes that this was also the ruling of the Rif. Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 194 cites a long list of Rishonim who held this way including Rosh (Brachot 1:16), Rif (Brachot 6b), Rambam (Hilchot Tefilla 10:13), Ramban (Milchamot Brachot 6b s.v. vod), Rashba (Brachot 12b s.v. amar), Ritva, and Maharam MiRutenberg (Tosfot Berachot 12b s.v. vhilchata). Meiri (Berachot 12b s.v. kol quotes the Rambam and Baal HaMaor but doesn't even mention the Rabbenu Yona. The Bet Yosef Orach Chaim 582:1 citing Rabbenu Manoach explains that the reason for this opinion is that Melech Ohev isn't interchangeable with HaMelech HaMishpat. The meaning of Melech Ohev is that Hashem the king uses justice and charity, however, HaMelech HaMishpat means that Hashem is the king who is the judge of the world.
    • Talmidei Rabbenu Yona (Berchot 7a s.v. u'mihu) holds that since we mention the word melech in our regular text, one does not need to go back. Darkei Moshe 582:3 cites this. This is also the opinion of Rav Yechiel the son of the Rosh (cited by Tur 118). Additionally, the Baal HaMaor (Brachot 6b s.v. may) argues that hamelech hakodesh and hamelech hamishpat are both are necessary initially.
  19. ↑ Tosfot (Brachot 12b s.v. vhilchata) writes that if someone isn't sure if he said the correct text we have to assume he made a mistake because one isn't accustomed to saying it yet. This is based on the Yerushalmi that it takes 30 days to be accustomed to a certain text. Rosh (Brachot 1:16) agrees. Shulchan Aruch 582:2 and Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim pg 193) codify this halacha.
  20. ↑ Ben Ish Chai (I Nitsavim 19), Kaf Hachaim 582:8, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu in Maamar Mordechai (Aseret Yami Teshuva 19). Rav Mordechai Lebhar (Magen Avot, Orach Chaim 118:1, 582:1) writes how this is the Moroccan Minhag, as well, and he deals with the Safek Berachot LeHakel issue raised by Rav Ovadia from a number of angles.
  21. ↑ Rambam (Tefillah 2:19), Shulchan Aruch OC 582:5, Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim pg 205)
  22. ↑ Mishna Brurah 582:16
  23. ↑ Tosfot (Brachot 12b s.v. vehilchata) quotes the Ri who says that if one forgot these additions one should repeat Shemona Esrei since one changed from the text of the bracha. However, the Maharam disagrees and thinks that one doesn't need to repeat Shemona Esrei, since these are Geonic additions and not from the gemara. Rosh (Brachot 1:16) and Trumat Hadeshen 144 agree. Shulchan Aruch OC 582:5 codifies the opinion of the Maharam.
  24. ↑ Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim pg 205), Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach in Shalmei Moed pg. 55, Yabia Omer 6:99 citing Rav Chaim Pinchas Sheinberg (Moriah Elul 5759 22:10-12 p. 100)
  25. ↑ Kitzur S”A 129:1 writes to say LeElah LeElah MeKol Birchata. Mishna Brurah 56:2, 582:16 agrees but adds a vav as follows LeElah ULeElah.
  26. ↑ Kaf Hachaim 582:39. Rav Mordechai Eliyahu’s footnote on Kitzur S”A 129:1 writes that the Sephardic minhag is not to change this for Aseret Yemei Teshuva. Rav Mordechai Lebhar (Magen Avot, Orach Chaim 582:1) notes that some did add it.

  28. ↑ Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 69, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 189
  29. ↑ Magen Avraham 54:2 questions this practice to say Shir Hamaalot between Yishtabach and Kaddish, arguing that it's clearly an interruption. Mishna Brurah 54:4 agrees. The Maharshal is quoted (Dagul Mervava Orach Chaim 54:3) as arguing that the issue of interrupting is limited to pointless matters, but doesn't apply to praises of Hashem like Tehillim, which may be recited even in middle of Birkot Keriat Shema. Emek Bracha pg 7 (Birkat Pesukei deZimra) notes how the Rambam (Hilchot Tefillah 7:13) records the custom of some communities to recite Az Yashir after Yishtabach and doesn't protest. This Rambam would seemingly justify the Minhag to say Shir HaMaalot. Rav Pameranchik pushes back against this and argues that Az Yashir isn't a hefsek, because it's just a praise of Hashem. However, Shir HaMaalot is not purely praise of Hashem, and might be considered a hefsek. He leaves the issue unresolved. Rav Schachter (Hilchot Yom Kippur 5778, min 47) holds that the Ashkenazi practice is clearly not to say Shir Hamaalot. See Nefesh HaRav page 203.

  35. ↑ Although Mateh Ephraim 602:5 and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 130:4 write that since they are days of judgment one should avoid getting married then, Rav Dovid Tzvi Hoffman (Melamed Lehoil EH Siman 1) argues that the merit of getting married could help gain a favorable judgment. He writes that common practice was to allow weddings during this time, and that he himself got married on the 6th of Tishrei. Shu”t Yechave Daat 1:48 agrees. see also Ten Minute Halacha Scheduling a Wedding Date toward the end by Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz where he agrees
    Interestingly, Yalkut Yosef (Sova Semachot 1:2:1) does add that, if possible, you should try to get married during Bein Hazmanim so as not to disrupt the learning.

The Rosh accepts Rav Hai Gaon's position and adds that the Maharitz Geyitz agreed. Avudraham (Seder Tefilat Rosh Hashana s.v. veharamban) concurs.
