Halochos and Minhogim for Erev Rosh HaShana

During Krias Shema at bedtime on Tonight Tuesday, Tachanun is recited.

A mourner who is sitting Shiva RL is allowed to go to Shul during the day to recite Selichos, and to Daven with the congregation.

During Selichos, Tachaunu (Viduy) is recited, even after dawn but not during Davening.

In the Piyut, “Merubim tzarchei amcha,” Nusach Lita is to say the verse, “Vesaitiv lanu hakesiva vehachasimah,” and this was corrected by hand in one of the first editions of Kehos (soft cover), and this is apparently the correct version.
