For the Ilui
Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel For the Refua Shlema of Yaakov Hai
ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. It is a mitzvah
to greaten one’s intake of food and drink during Erev Yom HaKippurim (the day before the fast, this year falls
TOMORROW September 25th). This Halacha was learned in the Talmud in
Masechet Berachot (8b) and Rosh HaShanah (9a) from a Pasuk (verse) in the Torah.
The Pasuk says to fast on the 9th of the month but we know Yom
Kippur falls on the 10th of the month, so Hachamim (our Sages) taught that when one greatens his/her intake
of meals on the 9th of the month its as if he/she fasted both on the
9th and 10th of Tishrei. It goes as far as lessening
one’s limud Torah (learning) to have
more meals! Therefore, one who does melacha
(work, parnasa) during the 9th of the month does not see any beracha (blessing) from that money
forever.
2. Lechatihila
(the best option) is to have at least
one meal with bread on Erev Yom Kippur (tomorrow) to fulfill the mitzvah of eating on Erev Yom
HaKippurim. Women are also obligated to fulfill this mitzvah.
3. Those who wake up early Erev Yom Kippur (tomorrow morning
before dawn) to say selihot can say vidui and nefilat apayim (tahanoon). However, in the Shaharit Tefillah
(morning prayer), even if its immediately after selihot, we do not say vidui
and nefilat apayim (tahanoon) because
the ‘light’ of Yom Tov is nearing. We do not say the mizmorim and parts of Tefillah (prayer) that are also not said when
Tahanoon is not said as well.
