1. The Order of the Individual Prayer of Mussaf, and it is 8 paragraphs. The congregation prays in silence the Mussaf prayer of 9 blessings. And the Shaliach Tzibur (Prayer Leader) also prays with them in silence.

English

2. The widespread custom in all of the Houses of Sefard is that we do not mention the verse of the Mussaf Sacrifice at all. Rema: And the widespread custom in Ashkenaz and in the surrounding areas is to say the verse of the Mussaf of Rosh HaShana, yet we do not say the verse of the Mussaf of Rosh Chodesh except "besides for the Olah of the Chodesh, and the Olah of the Daily Offering, and its Mincha etc. and two he goats for atonement, and the two daily burnt-offerings according to their law [Tur]. And we say also "the Mussaf of the Day of Remberance (Yom HaZikaron) [Ran end of Rosh HaShana and R' Yerucham and Kol Bo].

English

It is necessary to say (the word) "es" (prior to) "Mussaf of Yom HaZikaron" in order to include also Mussaf of Rosh Chodesh. Also on the 2nd day, we "es Musafei..."

English

We say 10 verses of Kingship , 10 of Remembrance , and 10 of Shofaros . In each blessing 3 from the Torah, 3 from the Writings, and 3 from the Prophets, and (then) one of the Torah. If one wants to add on these 10, it is permissible. Note (Rema): However, if one did not start any verse, only saying "and in your Torah it is written, saying", one has fulfilled their obligation.

English

We do not say a verse in the Kingship nor the Remembrance nor the Shofaros of the punishments of Israel. And we do not say verse of rememberance of an individual.

English

There are those that protest that which we are accustomed to conclude the verse of Shofaros with the verse "And on your joyous occasions" (Bamidar 10:10) due to that it does not mention a Shofar, rather a trumpet (Chatzoros). Yet the Rosh and the Ran write to maintain the custom.

English

"The Binding of Isaac today, on behalf of his descendants, may you remember it" is the known version. And those who are exacting who say "to the descendants of Yaakov remember it" are changing the form that the Sages established in the blessing, and it is but a mistake. Note (Rema): And we say "Aleinu" (paragraph beginning עָלֵֽינוּ לְשַׁבֵּֽחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל It is our obligation to praise the Master of All etc.) and "Meloch" (Paragraph beginning אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ. מְלוֹךְ עַל כָּל הָעוֹלָם God and God of our Forefather, Reign on all the world etc.) And the Prayer Leader (Shaliach Tzibur) adds "Ohchkila" (Paragraph beginning אוֹחִֽילָה לָאֵל I hope in Almighty) and other Piyyutim (Poems or acrostics). Every place according to its custom ['Tur]

English
