Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 129 Part 2/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How do we greet each other and set the table on Rosh Hashanah? The Kitzur has a good kesiva wished on the first night, and simanim eaten for a good year, such as the head of a male sheep recalling the Akeidah. The simanim are about thinking positively, so the whole year follows that first thought. The Kitzur then goes on to Avinu Malkeinu, the Torah reading and the shofar sounds.

Key points

• The Kitzur speaks only of Rosh Hashanah for avoiding vinegar, though many keep it longer.
• At each of the four meals, the Kitzur urges learning at least one of the tractate's four perakim.
• At Avinu Malkeinu the Kitzur has no striking of the chest, since Rosh Hashanah has no vidui.
• The text read sounds three sets because of a doubt over what the Torah's teruah means.
