Passage 7. Should he close the benediction with the ordinary Motzaei Shabbat formula (הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחוֹל), he is obliged to say the proper Havdalah blessing. true Passage 8. Having left out the Havdalah blessing altogether and said the ordinary festival Kiddush, if he notices the mistake during the meal he is to pronounce it—in the festival format, see page 329—over a cup of wine. true heading THE AMIDAH OF THE FESTIVAL Passage 1. On a festival, a person who in error says the weekday Amidah is to observe the rulings that apply when one in error says the weekday Amidah on Shabbat. Consult "Shabbat," above. true heading THE BLESSING OF THE PRIESTS Passage 1. In the Diaspora it is customary that the Kohanim offer the priestly blessing solely on festivals, for the congregation is then in a festive mood. Even when the festival falls on Shabbat, this manner of the priestly blessing is said during the Musaf prayer; likewise on Yom Kippur. true Passage 2. Beforehand the Kohen is required to wash his hands. He should preferably wash them as near as possible to saying the blessing, i.e., during the repetition of the Musaf Amidah. true Passage 3. The Kohen's hands are washed by a Levi. Absent a Levi, a firstborn stands in his stead. Absent a firstborn, the Kohen himself washes his hands. true Passage 4. Before reciting the blessing the Kohen must take off his shoes, mindful not to handle them once his hands have already been washed. The Kohanim should therefore untie their shoelaces before washing, lest they need their hands when taking them off just before saying the blessing. true Passage 5. The Kohen ought to proceed to the synagogue's front no later than the moment the chazzan begins רְצֵה. Should he not have started by the time that blessing is finished by the chazzan, he must not ascend at all. true Passage 6. A tallit should cover the Kohen when the chazzan calls out "Kohanim." true Passage 7. When only one Kohen is present, the chazzan utters "Kohanim" in an undertone. true Passage 8. Next he lifts his hands beneath his tallit so they stand before him, at shoulder height. A gap is opened between middle and ring fingers, and between index finger and thumb. Both hands are then drawn horizontally near each other, forming five spaces altogether among the fingers. The right hand ought to sit slightly higher than the left. true Passage 9. Those standing behind the Kohanim receive no share in the priestly blessing, yet those ahead of them or at their side are included, for even an iron curtain is unable to divide Israel from their Father in Heaven. They must, however, face the Kohanim (but not look at them) and refrain from looking around, since the Kohanim's blessing must be face-to-face. Worshipers ought to attend to the blessing, and ought not recite any Scriptural verses (along with the Kohanim); they are to say only the prayer רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם in three segments (page 352), while the Kohanim intone the wordless melodies before the concluding three words וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם. true heading ELUL Passage 1. Each day of Elul, except Shabbat and the day preceding Rosh Hashanah, the shofar is blown at the close of the morning service, as follows: tekiah-shevarim-teruah-tekiah, tekiah-shevarim-tekiah, tekiah-teruah-tekiah. true Passage 2. From Rosh Chodesh Elul's second day through the day preceding Yom Kippur, some observe the practice of saying three extra Psalms each day (beyond the daily recitation of Psalms apportioned by the monthly cycle). On the first day, true
