"Eiruv Tavshilin": [
"When Yom Tov occurs on Thursday and Friday, an eiruv tavshilin must be prepared on the preceding Wednesday. The head of the family should take bread or matzoh and an item of cooked food such as meat or fish, put them on a plate and say the following berachah:",

"on the Festival for the needs of Shabbos,",
"for us and for all Jews",
"who live in this city.",
"The food of the eiruv should be eaten at one of the Shabbos meals."
],
"Eiruvei Chatzeiros": [
"Two or more Jews who share a courtyard or hall, each of them living in his own apartment, are forbidden on Shabbos to carry from their apartment into the courtyard or hall, or from the courtyard or hall into their apartment. It is therefore considered a mitzvah for them to make an eiruvei chatzeiros.",
"The procedure is as follows. Erev Shabbos, one of the tenants takes a whole loaf of bread and confers a share of it to all tenants of the courtyard by handing it to another tenant and saying in whatever language he understands: “Take this loaf of bread and acquire it on behalf of all the Jews who live in this courtyard.” This person then takes the loaf and raises it one tefach. The one who is making the eiruv takes it from him and recites the following berachah:",

"our God, King of the Universe,",
"Who sanctified us with His commandments",
"and commanded us",
"concerning the mitzvah of eiruv.",

"from the houses into the courtyard",
"and from the courtyard into the houses",
"and from one house into another,",
"for all the Jews",
"who live in the houses of the courtyard."

"Eiruvei Techumin": [
"On Shabbos and Yom Tov, you are forbidden to go more than 2,000 amos from the place you were at the onset of Shabbos. If you need to walk farther than the Shabbos techum or boundary, you must place an eiruvei techumin (a boundary eiruv) before Shabbos or Yom Tov.",
"The procedure is as follows. You should take enough bread for two meals and go to the place where the eiruv is to be placed (within the 2,000 amos) and recite the following berachah:",
"Blessed are You, Adonoy",
"our God, King of the Universe,",
"Who sanctified us with His commandments",
"and commanded us",
"concerning the mitzvah of eiruv.",
"By means of this eiruv",
"it will be permissible for me",
"to walk from this place two thousand amos",
"in each direction.”",
"You may place one eiruv for many Shabbosos, but you should put it in a safe place, so that it will not be lost or spoiled."

"Candle Lighting": {
"Candle Lighting for Shabbos": [
"The berachah for all mitzvos must be recited before doing the mitzvah. This rule, however, does not apply to the lighting of the Shabbos candles. By lighting the candles, the woman thereby ushers in the Shabbos. Since the recitation of the berachah is considered to be the beginning of the act of candle lighting, she has thereby ushered in the Shabbos and may no longer light the candles. Therefore, she should first light the candles, and in order that the berachah precede the actual mitzvah, she should cover her face with her hands in order not to see the candles, then recite the berachah, remove her hands and look at the candles. In this manner, it is as if she has recited the berachah before lighting the candles.",
"It is customary for the husband to prepare the candles and wicks before Shabbos.",

"Song of Songs": {
"Preface to Shir Hashirim": [
"Preface to Shir Hashirim",
"Shir Hashirim, the Song of Songs, which is traditionally read in the syna- gogue on Shabbos Chol Hamoed Pesach, is one of the most remarkable books in the sacred Scriptures. On the face of it, it appears nothing more than an oriental love song. If that literal interpretation is accepted, there is no place for it in Holy Writ, and in fact it was not included without a controversy. It was only due to the strenuous advocacy of Rabbi Akiva that all doubts as to its propriety were dis- pelled. “Heaven forbid!” he said. “There could never be any doubt about the sanctity of Shir Hashirim. If the rest of the Writings are holy, then Shir Hashirim is the holy of holies.” (Mishnah, Yedayim 3:5) He saw in it, the passionate yearning which subsists between God and Israel, a love which “Many waters cannot quench, neither can the rivers drown” (8:7).",
"Thus, Shir Hashirim is read on the Festival of Pesach as an expression of our love of God Who brought us out of bondage and took us as His beloved people. It also expresses our belief that His love for our Patriarchs was the Divine motivation for our redemption and our selection as His cherished nation."

These parts were kept on the altar at night so that they could be completely consumed by its fire. This ritual was applicable only if there actually were unconsumed parts of offerings.",

"The following sequence of prayers until Yishtabach (p. 94) is called Pesukei Dezimrah (verses of praise). These selected Scriptural passages were arranged by the Gaonim of the ninth century, in fulfillment of the Talmudic statement (MasechesBerachos 32a), “A person should always praise God first and make his requests [offer his prayers] afterwards.” Beginning with Baruch She'amar (p. 80), it is forbidden to interrupt your prayer with conversation until after the Shemoneh Esrei (p. 132).",
"You are permitted to answer Amein, respond to Barechu, Kaddish and to say Kedushah even though you have passed Baruch She'amar. You are also permitted to say Modim d'Rabbonon and the first verse of the Shema together with the congregation.",

"Ashrei": [
"Rav S.R. Hirsch writes that the six concluding chapters of the Book of Psalms are the most important gift of David's Divinely-inspired hymns that Israel trea- sures so greatly. These six psalms, 145-150, are an essential component of our daily prayers. Our Sages attach much significance to Psalm 145 in particular, and stated: “Whoever recites ‘A praise by David' three times a day is assuredly worthy of a share in the world to come” (Maseches Berachos 4b). When recited in prayer, this psalm is always introduced with two verses from other Psalms (84:5 and 144:15). These verses contain the word fortunate three times, an allusion to this psalm being recited three times a day. These verses are so closely identified with Psalm 145 that it is commonly referred to as Ashrei (Fortunate).",

"Shiras Hayam": [
"In Temple times Shiras Hayam, the Song of the Sea, was sung by the Levites when the daily afternoon sacrifice was offered.87 After the destruction, the Jews of the Holy Land continued the tradition, reciting the Shira at the end of the PesukeiDezimrah. The custom spread to Italy and from there to other Jewish communities. This daily recital is mentioned by Rav Saadya Gaon but not as an obligatory part of the service. Rambam calls it a “custom.” Subsequently adopted by all communities, reciting the Shira became an integral part of our daily prayers.",
"Some hold that the Shira should be chanted aloud while standing. It should be sung with joy as at the time of the Exodus. “Sheloh” writes that reciting the Shira atones for sin, so that if one wishes to repent a serious sin, he should recite the Shira every day with great fervor. The Zohar says, “If one recites this song with elation and joy, he will be worthy to sing it in the next world. He will also be worthy to sing it when he greets the Mashiach.”",

"Recitation of Shema": [
"The recitation of Shema was part of the daily worship in the Holy Temple, and our Sages ordained that it be recited in the synagogue service, providing it a central place in the morning and evening prayers of each Jew. Its importance may be judged from the fact that the very first Mishnah in the Oral Torah opens with the question, “From what time may the evening Shema be read?”",
"In reading Shema, bear in mind that you are performing a Scriptural commandment. All three paragraphs should be read with kavanah, concentrated intention, on what you are saying. The entire Shema should be recited in awe and reverence as it proclaims the existence and unity of God; the Jews' complete dedication to God and His commandments; the belief in Divine justice; the remembrance of the Exodus and the selection of the Jews as God's Chosen People. These concepts are the pillars of the Jewish faith. Whenever this sign (°) appears (e.g. בְּכָלּ־לְּבָבְ֒ךָ), it indicates that you should be careful to pronounce each word distinctly. In many instances, the last letter of the first word and first letter of the second word are the same, the words might be read as one, which is not the proper way to fulfill the mitzvah of Kerias Shema.",

According to Avudraham, the recitation of the Haftarah, was instituted during the period of persecution preceding the revolt of the Maccabees, when the actual Torah reading was prohibited. Readings from the Prophets were then substituted in order to review some of the teachings contained in the Torah itself. The word הַפְטָרָה is derived from the root פטר , which means to discharge or conclude. By reading the Haftarah, we conclude the reading of the Torah.",

"Prayer for the Government": [
"The custom to pray for the welfare of the government is mentioned in Kol Bo and Avudraham. The latter writes, “After the reading of the Torah, it is customary to bless the king and pray to God that he be given might and power over his enemies. This prayer is based on Jeremiah 29:7, “Seek the peace of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to Adonoy in its behalf; for in its peace, you will have peace.” We also find reference to such prayer in the Mishna, (Maseches Avos 3:2), “Rabbi Chanina, Deputy Kohein Gadol, says: Pray for the welfare of the government, because if people had no fear of it, they would swallow each other alive.”",

It was actually a daily prayer that Rav recited each day after the regular service.",
"The יְהִי רָצוֹן was adapted by Ashkenazi Jews as a prayer for the coming of the new month by adding the words: שֶׁתְּחַדֵשׁ עָלֵינוּ אֶת הַחוֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לְטוֹבָה וְלִבְרָכָה but Sephardic Jews omit the entire prayer as it is not mentioned either by Rambam or Avudraham.",

"Maariv Service for the Conclusion of Shabbos": {
"Borechu": [
"Unlike the morning Shacharis and afternoon Mincha services which correspond to the two daily communal sacrifices (Tamid), offered in the Temple, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, the evening Maariv service has no counterpart in the Temple service, since sacrifices were never brought at night in the Temple.",
"The Maariv service was instituted to correspond to the Temple ritual of keeping on the altar the unconsumed parts of sacrifices that had been offered earlier in the day. These parts were kept on the altar at night so that they could be completely consumed by its fire. This ritual was applicable only if there actually were uncon- sumed parts of offerings.",
"Although the Maariv service was instituted to correspond to this ritual, and may therefore seem to be non-obligatory (see Maseches Berachos 27b), Rabbeinu Yitzchak Alfasi and all the other codifiers have ruled that Maariv has been accepted and hallowed by custom, and is therefore an obligatory service.",

"The following prayer was originally a compilation of eighteen verses instituted during the Gaonic era as a substitute for the Shemoneh Esrei. According to Avudraham, the Shemoneh Esrei was omitted because of decrees issued against the Jews that banned them from participating in the Evening Service. These eighteen verses, adopted in place of the Shemoneh Esrei, have remained a part of the Maariv service. Some Halachic commentaries maintain that these verses should not be included in Maariv, because they constitute an interruption between the final blessing after Shema and the Shemoneh Esrei.",

Because it is a minor festival, the Hallel is shortened on Rosh Chodesh by omitting half of Psalms 115 and 116.
