YICC Youth & Teens
in the Teichman Youth Wing
From Rabbi JJ & Frumie… 198 children, 250 tchotchkes, 413 candies, 4,569 tickets, 5,780 smiles...
Now that was an amazing START OF THE YEAR! Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and
girls ROSH HASHANAH AT YICC YOUTH was awesome!!!! I even overheard one little
boy saying “oh no - groups are over already? I wish they can go on for longer!!”
Let’s go over some of the fun things we did together this Rosh Hashanah! We
Davened and heard shofar in both Shuls. We heard amazing Rosh Hashanah stories
and “meshalim” with powerful and relevant lessons. We spent time with Master Chef
Frumie making apple cake pops, and apple donuts. We sang, danced, and enjoyed our
time together. OF-COURSE there was plenty of prizes and candies along the way!
Shabbat Shuvah is here. It’s almost time for Hashem to seal the book of life. Let’s
all come together and continue to be the best we can so Hashem can continue smiling
down on us and giving us the best year yet!
Make sure to check out our Yom Kippur schedule and programming.

HALAKHIC CORNER - YOM KIPPUR Q: What is the proper format for Havdalah at the end of Yom Kippur? A: The Shulchan Aruch (O”C 624:4) rules that there is an obligation to make Havdalah with a candle after Yom Kippur. In contrast to Havdalah at the end of Shabbat, the flame must come from a fire that has been burning since the beginning of Yom Kippur. The Mishnah Berurah explains that on an ordinary Saturday night we create a new flame to light the Havdalah candle to commemorate Adam's discovery of fire which took place at the end of the first Shabbat in history. However, at the end of Yom Kippur we use an already existent flame to light the Havdalah candle to signify that the use of fire is prohibited on Yom Kippur unlike other holidays when we are permitted to use fire to cook with. The Shulchan Aruch records a dissenting opinion that one need not use a fire for Havdalah that was burning since the beginning of Yom Kippur and one can light a match and light the Havdalah candle from the match. The Shulchan Aruch also rules that we do not use Besamim for Havdalah after Yom Kippur even if Yom Kippur coincides with Shabbat. The Mishnah Berurah explains that we usually use Besamim during Havdalah to comfort our bodies with a pleasant smell after losing our Neshama Yiterah, the additional soul that we receive on Shabbat. However, since Yom Kippur is a fast day, we do not receive an additional soul and therefore no Besamim is needed.
FROM YICC’S SEFER MINHAGIM - YOM KIPPUR
1) Before Kol Nidrei begins, two Sifrei Torah are taken out from the Aron. The Hazan says Or Zorua LaZadik followed by the congregation repeating the sentence each time it is said. It should be recited seven times.
2) After circulating throughout the Shul, the two people stand one on each side of the Hazan during Kol Nidrei. 3) On Yom Kippur Yizkor is recited after the Drasha as follows:
a) The two Sifrei Torah that were read from are held on each side of the Hazan during Yizkor. b) The Three E-l Maleh prayers are recited as follows: (Please refer to our Yizkor Book)
• For the members of the Shul who have passed away • For the 6 Million “Kedoshim” killed by the Nazis • For those who have given their lives in defense of the State of Israel
c) Those blessed to have their parents are asked to leave the Shul quietly after the three E-l Maleh prayers are recited and are asked to return after Yizkor has concluded. (Refer to our Yizkor Book for special Tefilah)
d) After Yizkor Av HaRachamim is recited. e) Yizkor is recited during the first year of Avelut.
4) The Avodah should be said out loud by the Hazan and congregation. The Avodah ends at the bottom of p. 829 in the Birnbaum Machzor. We skip pages 829-836.
5) The Aron is kept open during the Avodah (Amitz Koach) in Musaf on Yom Kippur. The Aron is closed at the bottom of p. 829 in the Birnbaum Machzor.
6) On Yom Kippur the Kohanim should have their hands washed when we reach p. 859 in the Birnbaum Machzor. When washing the Kohanim’s hands on Yom Kippur they should be washed to the wrist just like we do on all other Yomim Tovim.
7) The concluding Brakhot for Maftir Yonah should include the blessing of Al HaTorah, that is said on Shabbat and Yom Tov morning (Unlike what is written in the Birnbaum Machzor).
8) We do not say Avinu Malkenu after Mincha on Yom Kippur. We say Avinu Malkenu at the end of Neilah, sentence by sentence – first the Hazan and then the congregation.
9) Just like Kol Nidrei, two members stand on each side of the Hazan during Neilah. The Aron is opened for Neilah as soon as the Hazan is ready to begin Hazarat HaShatz. It’s closed only after the Hazan and congregation say Hashem Hu HaElokim seven times, right before Kaddish Shalem.
10) At the end of Neilah the Hazan should skip Birkhat Kohanim because it is after Shekiah. 11) At the end of Neilah first the Hazan says Shema Yisrael…. and then the congregation repeats it. The same is done
for Baruch Shem Kevod… which the Hazan says three times and then the congregation says it seven times. 12) After the Hazan completes Kaddish Shalem at the end of Neilah we blow a set of ten notes just like we did during the
repetition of the Amidah on Rosh Hashanah. 13) We light the Havdalah candle from the light of the burning Yahrzheit candle that was lit before Yom Kippur began. 14) We recite Kiddush Levanah after Maariv at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. 15) On the day after Yom Kippur we do not recite Laminatzeah after Ashrei. We do not recite Tahanun until after Rosh
Chodesh Cheshvan.
