EREV ROSH HASHANA AFTERNOON One should utilize all of his spare time on Erev Rosh Hashana to recite Tehillim, especially in the hour before Mincha, and onwards. It is customary to accept upon oneself a Hiddur Mitzvah. This should be done on Erev Rosh Hashana, or on Rosh Hashana. [One should state that his acceptance is Bli Neder.] One should give Tzedakah on Erev Yom Tov for the two days of Yom Tov, as well as for Shabbos Shuvah. Candle‐lighting time is (see your local time). [If eating out, one should ensure that some practical benefit be derived from the candles after Yom Tov begins.] The Brochos are L’Hadlik Ner Shel Yom Hazikaron, followed by Shehecheyanu. [When a man is required to light candles, he does not recite Shehecheyanu, as he will be doing so in Kiddush. Therefore, it is best that he light candles right before Kiddush, so that his Shehecheyanu is linked to both.] Mincha is davened at greater length than usual, as it is the last Tefillah of the year.
