Minchah for Rechalim

This page describes the Minchah service for Pesach (fist and last days), Shavuot and Sukkot (first days, Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah).

All are standing during Kaddish, Avelim do not say Kaddish on Yom Tov.

For simplicity of this page, the detailed descriptions of the actions during Torah reading are not shown here. You can find them e.g. on the Parashah page for the Rechalim.

NN: tape 6 minute 29:56, tape 6b minute tape 7  and tape 8 till minute 10:26 and some general parts from tape 2a and tape 4. Some additions by AAV, DNN and JBS.
יעלה ויבא  is missing in all recordings. It is added below, but not inserted in the recording. On Shabbat the words המנוח הזה וביום are added, on Medians, the word טוב  is skipped.

All wear Tallit

Grayed areas indicate parts which are added on specific days. Follow hyperlinks for recordings.

קדיש לעילא

No repetition, Chazzan starts with semi loud voice till Veneweman. Veneweman and the first line of the Kedusha are sung by all and repeated by the Chazzan. The Chazzan finishes the Kedusha till הא-ל הקדוש. Then silently till והנחילנו. From והנחילנו aloud till המברך את עמו ישראל בשלום, where the Kahal slowly say אמן, till the Chazzan starts the Kaddish.

Last day Yom Tov [9] Chazzan ends with this wish, congregants say אמן

לשנה הבאה בירושלים בביאת משיחנו

.

.

[2] Congregants, Chazzan repeats and continues with the megila.

[3] Both Megilot are read by two Chazzanim or more, line by line.

[4] Chazzan reads Azharot standing, Rut sitting.

[5] No פיטום הקטורת even if it is Shabbat (SHB pages 178L and 192L)

[6]  Afternoon to morning, see SHB page 173note Ƒ.
1st day Pesach: on Shabbat for those who were buried the week before (178L) 8th on Shabbat same 180 same, if 2nd day Shavuot is Shabbat 182R. Same 1st day Sukkot 192R; Shemini Atzeret not 193R. 

[7] See Shulchan Aruch קכ”ה siman א and Rema end siman ב. Minchah there is no chazara, thus all together with Chazzan.

[8] Avelim (mourners) do not say Kaddish on Festivals and Shabbat

[9] Last day = 8th day Pesach, 2nd day Shavuot & Simchat Tora. This Kaddish is called the “Stuipen Kaddish”, which Lex Vega (AAV) translated to “Convulsion Kaddish”. There may be two reasons for this name. Convulsions are jerking movements. This refers to the beginning of each melody line, which consists of adjacent notes in quick succession. Another explanation is that this is the last Kaddish of the Yom Tov, so the “convulsions” of the Yom Tov.
