Gemar chasimah tovah
May you be inscribed for good
Here is a link to a Hebrew-English Machzor for Yom Kippur (by Arthur Davis and Herbert M. Adler, Hebrew Publishing Company, London edition, no date): link (includes viduy for Erev Yom Kippur)
Yom Kippur
My grandparents had a few copies of this machzor. My impression was that that was the standard machzor of their era.
I flipped to the end, and it has “The Shophar is sounded” after maariv. I’ve never heard of that. Is there such a minhag?
@JS, that is a simply smart way to ensure people do not skip maariv just after having spent a whole day saying selach lanu. I wonder, though, whether there are any congregations that introduced such a practice in recent years.
I must thank HASHEM, because I prayed to Him for
a very easy fast throughout the entire Yom Kippur,
and He granted my request.
I felt like I was not fasting at all, Baruch HaShem!
THANK YOU HASHEM!!!!
THANK YOU HASHEM!!!!
Over the past 25+ years, whenever I prayed in advance for
an easy fast on Yom Kippur, my request was always granted
[except for once when my prayers in this area were substandard].
Also, whenever I did not pray in advance for an easy fast
on Yom Kippur, I always had a hard time with the fast.
If you attempt this prayer, then I suggest
that you start in Chodesh Elul.
