This evening (Shabbos) is Rosh Chodesh Tammuz. Rosh Chodesh is two days, Shabbos and Sunday. Friday evening, Kabbalas Shabbos and the usual Maariv tefilla with inclusion of Ya’aleh VeYavo in the Shemoneh Esreh. If one forgot to say Ya’aleh VeYavo at Maariv only, one does not repeat. (The Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayyim 422:1, based on Berachos 30b, explains this as due to the fact that we do not sanctify the new moon at night – and this rule applies even when Rosh Chodesh is two days.).
Birkas Hamazon: In the Grace after Meals we add Ya’aleh VeYavo, as well as mention of Rosh Chodesh in the Beracha Acharona (Me’ein Shalosh) at all times.
Shabbos morning: Shacharis is usual Shabbos tefilla with inclusion of Ya’aleh VeYavo in the Shemoneh Esreh as well as in Chazzan’s repetition, followed by half-Hallel, Kaddish Tiskabbel. We remove two Torah scrolls from the ark and in the first we read from the weekly portion of Korach and call seven Aliyos. We call the Maftir and read from the second Sefer Torah in Parashas Pinchas (Bamidbar 28:1-15). We then read the Haftara, Hashamayim Kis’i (Yeshayahu 66:1-24 we conclude by repeating verse 23). We say Yekum Purkan. We do not say Av HaRachamim, nor is there Hazkaras Neshamos, but we continue with Ashrei; we return the Torah scrolls to the Aron and the Chazzan says half-Kaddish.
Musaf: Instead of Tikkanta Shabbos we say Ata Yatzarta and in the Korbanos (sacrifices) section we mention both Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh. After the Chazzan’s repetition, Kaddish Tiskabbel is followed by Ein K’Elokeinu, Aleinu, Shir Shel Yom and Borchi Nafshi and their respective Kaddish recitations (for mourners). Nusach Sefarad say Shir Shel Yom and Borchi Nafshi after Shacharis.
Mincha is usual Shabbos tefilla. We include Ya’aleh VeYavo in the Shemoneh Esreh. We do not say Tzidkas’cha. Maariv for the second day of Rosh Chodesh is the usual Motza’ei Shabbos tefilla, including Ya’aleh VeYavo in the Shemoneh Esreh.
Sunday morning: Shacharis is usual tefilla with inclusion of Ya’aleh VeYavo in the Shemoneh Esreh, half-Hallel, Kaddish Tiskabbel. We take out one Torah scroll from the ark. We read in Parashas Pinchas (Bamidbar 28:9-15), we call four Aliyos (Kohen, Levi, Yisrael, Yisrael), the ba’al keriah recites half-Kaddish. We return the Torah scroll to the Aron, Ashrei, U’va LeTziyyon – we delete La’menatze’ach. Chazzan says half-Kaddish and all then remove their tefillin.
Musaf of Rosh Chodesh, followed by Reader’s repetition and Kaddish Tiskabbel, Aleinu, Shir Shel Yom, Borchi Nafshi and their respective Kaddish recitations (for mourners). Nusach Sefarad say Shir Shel Yom and Borchi Nafshi after half-Hallel, and before Aleinu they add Ein K’Elokeinu with Kaddish DeRabbanan.
Mincha: In the Shemoneh Esreh we say Ya’aleh VeYavo, followed by Chazzan’s repetition and Kaddish Tiskabbel, Aleinu and Mourner’s Kaddish.
Birkas Hamazon: In the Grace after Meals we add Ya’aleh VeYavo, as well as mention of Rosh Chodesh in the Beracha Acharona (Me’ein Shalosh) at all times.
The following chapters of Tehillim are being recited by many congregations and yeshivas for our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael: Chapter 83, 130, 142. – Y.K.
