Hiskashrus - Tzach Israel
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.

OMSK, Russia –- Omsk celebrated the grand opening of the Ohr Avner Chabad Day School and 'Chaya Mushka' Kindergarten. After a five-year effort, Chief Rabbi Osher Krichevsky and his wife can finally see the fruits of their labor. Located in a newly-constructed building – perhaps the best to ever host a local school – this institution will offer education from kindergarten through to the secondary school level. It is the first school to offer an ethno-cultural component as part of its educational program.
