# After the meal a person should go to the shul to learn according to his ability. Some have the practice of reading Tehillim twice over Rosh Hashana. A person who usually studies halachot should learn halachot rather than say Tehillim. In any event, one shouldn't waste time on this holy day of Rosh Hashana and wasting one's time on Rosh Hashana is like sleeping.<ref>Yalkut Yosef (Moadim p. 33), Sh"t Yechave Daat 3:44</ref>

# If one forgot to switch from Atta Kadosh to HaMelech HaKadosh the first night of Rosh Hashana one doesn't have to repeat [[Shmoneh Esrei]] as long as one said the [[Yom Tov]] [[Shmoneh Esrei]], however, if one said the weekday [[Shmoneh Esrei]] or on the day of Rosh Hashana or the second night of Rosh Hashana one should repeat [[Shmoneh Esrei]]. <ref>Chaye Adam 24:10, Sh"t Igrot Moshe 1:170, [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/764351/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Inyanei_Rosh_Hashanah Rabbi Hershel Schachter in a shuir] (min 43-45:30) </ref>

Rav Chaim Pinchas Sheinberg in Moriah Elul 5759 22:10-12 p. 100 writes that one doesn't fulfill one's obligation since the theme of Malchut is a main theme of Shemona Esrei.</ref>
# Some poskim encourage crying during the [[prayers]] of Rosh Hashana while some forbid it. <ref> Rav Moshe Shternbuch in Teshuvot Vihanhagot 2:268 quotes the Vilna Gaon in his Sefer Maaseh Rav 207 that it is forbidden to cry, but also quotes the Arizal (brought down in Baer Heitev 584) that any person with a good soul would cry on Rosh Hashana. He claims that they aren't disagreeing, but rather that the Vilna Gaon is talking about crying from fear of the day of judgement and viewing the day as one of sadness and gloom. But if the tears come spontaneously from a longing for Hashem during the [[prayers]], that it praiseworthy. </ref>
