Key topics covered include the timeline of observances from Elul through Yom Kippur and proper procedures for prayers and rituals during this holy time.
3. FROM ROSH CHODESH UNTILTHE DAY BEFORE EREV
ROSH HASHANA
So STOP BLOWING THE SHOFAR ON ???"?????? ???
WHY STOP THEN?
TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEKIOS THAT
ARE A MINHAG TO THE TEKIOS WHICH ARE ???????????
¨C FROM THE TORAH
ALSO, WE SAY ??? ??????'?????? UNTIL SHMINI
AZTERES¡
¡AND SLICHOS. WE BEGIN A FEW DAYS BEFORE
ROSH HASHANA, AND CONTINUE UP TO AND
INCLUDING EREVYOM KIPPUR
6. -RELATIVES CAN BE PART OF THE BEIS DIN
-The one trying to annul his neder needs to
understand what he is saying ¨C he should say it
in English if he doesn't understand the Hebrew
7. Which vows are being annulled? Any good and positive
action he did with the intention to continue this action
indefinitely is considered a vow.
Like if he took out the garbage one time to help his
Mom, and was thinking that he¡¯d do it every night
Additionally, if he did this virtuous practice 3 times, even
without thinking it would continue, it needs ??????? ??????
8. SO THERE ARE 3 CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH
WOULD NECESSITATE ??????? ??????
1)He actually promised to do a positive deed
2)He did a positive deed once, thinking he would
continue
3)He did a positive deed 3 times, even if he never
thought this would continue
9. The judges must know the difference
between a ????? and ??????
What IS the difference?
These are the 2 ¡°excuses¡± a person
would use when he wants to be
¡®matir neder¡¯
10. LETS SAY HE MADE A
NEDER TO GO TO THE
MIKVEH, WHICH WAS
SOMETIMES VERY COLD¡
A ????? is an ¡®opening¡¯ ¨C he never would have made the neder
had he realized how cold it was
?????? is ¡®regret¡¯ ¨C he knew it would be cold, but he thought he
could handle it. Now he regrets the neder.
11. And this year, we use the same beis din we
assembled for ??????? ?????? to write a¡
?????????
What¡¯s that?
Pruzbul
12. The Torah says that all outstanding loans (money you owe someone) are
cancelled at the end of the shmitta year
That would mean that you don¡¯t have to pay
back the guy you borrowed money from
So people started being hesitant to lend
money, thinking they may never get their
money back
13. But this wasn¡¯t right, because the Torah says explicitly NOT
to have this worry!
So Hillel established the ????????? (pruzbul)
document
It essentially transfers all of your loans to beis
din, and loans that are under the jurisdiction on
beis din AREN¡¯T subject to the laws of ???????
??????? ¨C debts becoming cancelled
14. Fast day¡.but just 1/2
Mincha is last tefillah of the year! Make it count!
Visit Jewish cemetery ¨C preferably tzaddikim
(they should intercede, not ???"??? that we are davening to them)
20. THE 3 PARTS TO SHEMONEH ESREY ON ROSH
HASHANA:
21. Add 4 additions:

¡.and one bracha right after Rosh
Hashana ¨C for all of ??????? ????? ??????
??????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ??????
22. ????????...
?????? ????...
???????...
?????? ??????...
What happens if you
forgot these additions?
If you remember immediately, before saying Hashem¡¯s name in
the next bracha, go back and say them
If you already said Hashem¡¯s name ¨C and certainly if you are
already much farther in shemoneh esrey ¨C don¡¯t go back
23. ????-??????? ?????? ??????? ???
What happens if you
forgot these additions?
If you¡
a) Are within 3 seconds of when you made this
mistake, you can go back and say the correct ending
b) If you already started the next bracha, you have to
restart shemoneh esrey
24. ??????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ??????
What happens if you
forgot these additions?
If you¡
a) Are within 3 seconds of when you made this mistake,
you can go back and say the correct ending
b) If you already started the next bracha, it¡¯s o.k. ¨C
because you really said the words ??????? ?????? within
the mistaken ending!
