1. On Erev Rosh Hashanah, we say lengthy Selichos and we also say “hataras nedarim” in the presence of three Jews not related to one another or to the person saying “hataras nedarim”.
2. Beginning with Rosh Hashanah and continuing through Yom Hakippurim, we make several changes in the Shemoneh Esreh. We say “Hamelech Hakadosh” instead of “Hakel Hakadosh”. We add “zachreinu”, “mi chamocha”, “uchesov” and “be’sefer”. In the weekday Shemoneh Esreh, we also say “Hamelech Hamishpat”, instead of “Melech ohaiv tzedakah umishpat”.
3. One must repeat the entire Shemoneh Esreh if one omits “Hamelech Hakadosh” and does not immediate-ly correct himself (“toch kedei dibur”). If one omits any of the other changes or insertions, one does not repeat Shemoneh Esreh.
4. In Kaddish, we say “l’eyla l’eyla mikol birchasa”, thereby adding the extra word “l’eyla” and omitting the word “min”.
5. After services on the first night of Rosh Hashanah, we wish each other “l’shanna tova tikasev v’seichasem l’alter l’chaim tovim” (to a man) and “l’shanna tova ti-kasevi v’seichasemi l’alter l’chaim tovim” (to a woman).
6. Candles and Kiddush on both nights include the blessing of “shehecheyanu”. However, on the second night, we have a new fruit on the table and we have it in mind when we say “shehecheyanu”. The fruit should be eaten immediately after Kiddush. For this reason, it is suggested that candle lighting take place just before Kiddush.
7. There are several customs observed at the Rosh Hashanah meal. We dip an apple into honey and recite a “yehi ratzon” that Hashem bless us with a sweet year - “shanna tova umesukah”. Afterwards, we eat from the head of an animal or fish and say a similar prayer that we be blessed to be in control of our lives with dignity - “shenihiyeh l’rosh velo l’zanav”. Some people eat carrots, which in Yiddish are called “mehren”, and
we pray that we have many merits - “sheyirbu z’chuy-oseinu”. There are many other customs and prayers. One should follow family tradition and follow the text in the siddur or machzor.
8. In the evening, we insert “Le’Dovid Mizmor” after Shemoneh Esreh.
9. In the morning, we insert “shir hamalos mimaam-akim” after Yishtabach. We do this for the entire peri-od through Yom Hakippurim.
10. On both days of Rosh Hashanah, we blow shofar. If Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbos, there is no shofar blowing and no “Avinu Malkenu” on that day.
11. One fulfills one’s obligation after hearing the bless-ings on the shofar (“lishmoah kol shofar” and “she-hecheyanu”) and the first 30 sounds. However, it is our custom to blow 100 sounds and not to interrupt until all sounds have been blown.
12. On the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashan-ah or the second day of Rosh Hashanah when the first day falls on Shabbos, we go to a body of water and say “Tashlich”.
13. When Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbos, Havdalah is made on Saturday night together with Kiddush with the following order of blessings:Borei Pri Hagafen (yayin) Kiddush Borei Me’orei Ha’esh (ner) 4) Havdalah 5) Shehecheyanu (zeman) The acronym YaKNeHaZ is used to remember the order. It stands for Yayin, Kiddush, Ner, Havdalah, Zeman.
14. After the second day of Rosh Hashanah, at the end of the holiday, Havdalah consists of two blessings:- Borei Pri Hagafen - Havdalah (hamavdil beyn kodesh l’chol, etc.
