Aseret Yemei Hateshuva (1) / The Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur

Thanks to the community for great communal davening over Rosh Hashana and Shabbat Shuva.
Now that we are in the Aseret Yemei Hateshuva there are a few additions to the daily davening, all of which can be said even without a minyan. As requested, here is a summary of the changes to the prayers.

1. Psalm 130, Shir Hama'alot, mi-ma'a'makim kerat-icha HaShem, A song of ascents, from the depths have I callled you, G-d, is recited after Yishtabach.





2. In the Amida, the lines zochreinu lechayim and mi kamocha are recited.





3. 'Ha'eil hakadosh' is replaced by 'Hamelech Hakadosh', to show our extra awareness of G-d's sovereignty at this time as we discussed on Rosh Hashana. Of all the additions in the Amida, this is the only show-stopper...if you forget it, it's down the snake and back to the start.





4. 'Melech ohaiv tzedaka umishpat' is replaced by 'hamelech hamishpat'





5. 'Uchtov lechayim Tovim' is added after 've'al kulam'





6. At the end of Sim Shalom or Shalom Rav, don't forget the change to 'Besefer Chayim'





7. After the Amida at Shacharit and Mincha, say Avinu Malkeinu.





8. In every form of Kadish, 'le'ela' becomes 'le'ela ul'ela'





9. And of course, there are still Selichot in the morning.

Shacharit, preceeded by Selichot in South Hampstead is at 7am this week Monday-Friday. Mincha & Maariv is at 7pm Monday-Wednesday and at 6.55pm on Thursday.
