Israeli: ' marks a reduced vowel that Israeli speech drops (b'rachah); when the vowel is pronounced it is written e (lefanecha). - separates syllables that would otherwise run together.
How to read the transliterationsMourner's Kaddish. Most congregations, when the Torah is taken from the Ark, recite the "Thirteen Attributes of Mercy" and a special supplication.
73 Torah reading: Lev. 16:1-34. Called up are six men, seven on Shabbat. Maftir: Num. 29:7-11. Haftara: Is. 57:14-58:14 [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 621:1].
74 After the Haftara come (Yekum Purkan on Shabbat, then) petitions for the government and the State of Israel, together with Yizkor. Customarily the rabbi delivers a sermon prior to Yizkor. Some follow the practice of leaving the synagogue for Yizkor, if both their parents are still alive [Gesher HaChaim 31:2]. A worshiper praying alone may nevertheless recite Yizkor [Gesher HaChaim 32:1].
75 Once Yizkor has ended, the congregation recites Av Harachamim and Ashrei, and the Torah scrolls are restored to the Ark. The Shaliah Tzibbur for Musaf recites a special prefatory prayer, Hineni He'ani Mimma'as ("Here am I, poor of deeds") and Half Kaddish.

76 Should a Brit Mila occur, it is held before Ashrei [Mishna Berura 621:6], and the cup of wine or grape juice is presented to someone exempt from fasting and to the infant [Rema, Orach Chaim 621:3].
77 Musaf: In the course of the Repetition of the Amida, piyutim are recited before Kedusha, culminating with Unetaneh Tokef.

וּנְתַנֶּה תֹּקֶף
Israeli
unetaneh tokef
78 Within the Repetition of the Amida, the fourth blessing contains Aleinu. Opening the Ark, the Shaliah Tzibbur (together with, in most communities, the whole congregation) kneels in prostration at the words Va'anachnu kore'im. Piyutim then follow, depicting the Yom Kippur Temple service (wherein kneeling by the congregation occurs three or four further times), reenacting the High Priest's public utterance of the ineffable name of God. Since it is forbidden to let one's head meet the bare stone floor while kneeling, a piece of cloth or paper should be laid between one's head and the floor [Rema, Orach Chaim 131:8].

וַאֲנַחְנוּ כּוֹרְעִים
Israeli

79 The Kohanim recite Birkat Kohanim.
80 Once Musaf has ended, the Shaliah Tzibbur recites Full Kaddish. Ein Keloheinu and Aleinu are omitted.
81 Minha: Ashrei and Uva LeTziyon are both omitted; rather, Minha opens with the taking of the Torah from the Ark [Rema, Orach Chaim 622:1]. Torah reading: Lev. 18:1-30. The third oleh recites the Haftara - the book of Jonah, and Micah 7:18-20 [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 622:2]. Once the Torah has been restored to the Ark, the Shaliah Tzibbur recites Half Kaddish. The individual's Amida matches that of Shaharit, save that it is preceded by the verse beginning Ki shem Adonai ekra (Deut. 32:3). The Shaliah Tzibbur's Repetition of the Amida includes the Kedusha that opens with Keter, Viduy and the paragraph concerning Birkat Kohanim. Avinu Malkenu is recited, except when Yom Kippur occurs on Shabbat or when time grows short, since the Shaliah Tzibbur's Repetition of Ne'ila must start before sunset [Mishna Berura, ibid. 12].

82 Ne'ila: On Yom Kippur the congregation prays a fifth service, called Ne'ila ("Closing"), which begins shortly before sunset. This service opens as Minha for Shabbat and Yom Tov: Ashrei, Uva LeTziyon, Half Kaddish [Rema, Orach Chaim 623:1]. The congregation recites the Amida for Ne'ila; within the Amida the term kotvenu ("inscribe us") in all its conjugations is altered to chatmenu ("seal us") [Rema, Orach Chaim 623:2]. In Viduy, in place of Al Chet, a long, heartfelt supplication is recited.

83 The Ark stays open throughout the entire Repetition of the Amida, which includes the Kedusha that opens with Keter, Selihot, an abridged form of Viduy and the paragraph concerning Birkat Kohanim.
84 Avinu Malkenu is recited, even should Yom Kippur fall on Shabbat; once more the term kotvenu is altered to chatmenu.
85 When Ne'ila concludes, the Shaliah Tzibbur guides those assembled in the responsive chanting of several verses, after which come Full Kaddish, and the blast of the shofar [Rema, ibid. 6]. Customarily one concludes with the singing of Leshana haba'a biYerushalayim ("Next Year in Jerusalem").

86 Ma'ariv: as on weekdays. The paragraph of Ata chonantanu (page 287) is recited in the fourth blessing of the Amida [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 624:1]. Havdala is recited over a cup of wine or grape juice, and the Havdala candle is kindled from the flame kindled before Yom Kippur began. A blessing over spices is not recited (except when it is also Motza'ei Shabbat) [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 624:4].

87 Custom holds that construction of the sukka begins on the night following Yom Kippur [Rema, ibid. 5; and 625:1].
88 Tahanun is omitted between Yom Kippur and Sukkot [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 131:6].
עֶרֶב סֻכּוֹת
Erev Sukkot (the 14th of Tishrei)
89 Building and decorating the sukka should be finished before Sukkot begins. Likewise, before the holiday begins, the myrtle (hadasim) and willow (aravot) ought to be fastened to the lulav [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 651:1].
90 Should Sukkot fall on Thursday and Friday, each household must prepare an Eiruv Tavshilin (page 805); this renders it permissible, on Friday, to prepare food for the Shabbat meals [Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chaim 527].
