# Some have the minhag to stand bent slightly (hunched over slightly) during the Tefillot of Rosh HaShana and if one does so, one should make sure to stand straight for the end and beginning of each Bracha. <Ref>S”A 582:4 writes that those who have the minhag to stand bent over for Tefillot on Rosh Hashanah should stand straight at the end of the Bracha. Mishna Brurah 582:14 writes that starting from Baruch Atta Hashem through the beginning of the next Bracha one should stand erect so that it doesn’t appear like one is adding the established bows of Chazal. </ref> Some say it’s preferable to stand straight for the Tefillot. <Ref>Kitzur S”A 129:2 </ref> | # Some have the minhag to stand bent slightly (hunched over slightly) during the Tefillot of Rosh HaShana and if one does so, one should make sure to stand straight for the end and beginning of each Bracha. <Ref>S”A 582:4 writes that those who have the minhag to stand bent over for Tefillot on Rosh Hashanah should stand straight at the end of the Bracha.

# Some have the minhag to daven slightly out loud during Tefillot of Rosh Hashana. <Ref>S”A 582:9 writes that one may daven out loud during Tefillot of Rosh Hashana and not worry about bothering others Davening since everyone has a machzor.

==Simanim (eating certain foods on Rosh Hashana)== | |||

==Sleeping on Rosh Hashana== | |||
# It's a proper minhag not to sleep on Rosh Hashana. For someone who has a headache should sleep a little after midday in order to perform the mitzvot and prayers better. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim, pg 183-4), Kaf HaChaim 584:38,39 </ref> | |||
==Tashlich== | |||
# The minhag is to say Tashlich near a ocean or river on the first day of Rosh Hashana after mincha.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim, pg 186) </ref> | |||
==Fasting on Rosh Hashana== | |||
# It's forbidden to fast on Rosh Hashana. <ref>S"A 597:1, Chazon Ovadyah (Yamim Noraim, pg 180) </ref> Nonetheless, it's permissible to allow prayers to extend past chatzot (halachic midday) and fast until the afternoon. <ref>Mishna Brurah 597:2 writes that even though usually on Shabbat and Yom Tov one shouldn't fast until after chatzot on rosh hashana it's permissible to allow the davening to extend past chatzot. [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/764351/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Inyanei_Rosh_Hashanah Rav Hershel Schachter on yutorah.org (min 40-42)] explains that this leniency is based on the fact that there are opinions in the Geonim who even permit fasting completely on Rosh Hashana. </ref> | |||
