''Neilah is the concluding prayer of public fast days, which, in modern times, is only recited on Yom Kippur. It consists of Ashrei, a silent Amidah, a Chazzarat HaShatz, and various selichot and addenda depending on the community. Birkat Kohanim is recited during the repetition of the Amidah.''

#As the judgement is about to be sealed in Heaven, we switch any references to being "written" in the book of life (''Kotvenu'') to being "sealed" in it (''Chotmenu'').

====The Conclusion of Neilah====
#The congregation should continue to recite [[selichot]] until 20 minutes after sunset and then blow the [[shofar]] so that there is no concern that people will eat immediately afterwards because they think that Yom Kippur has already ended. <ref>Chazon Ovadia, Yamim Noraim, page 376 </ref>
