Passage 6. Should the fast fall on Monday or Thursday, with fewer than three people fasting, the usual weekly portion is to be read. true Passage 7. At Minchah, should there be three members of the congregation fasting, וַיְחַל is read once more, as above. true Passage 8. Half Kaddish is not said at once after the Torah reading at Minchah. Rather, once the Torah is returned to the Ark, the chazzan recites Half Kaddish to introduce the Amidah. true Passage 9. On Tisha b'Av, נַחֵם is inserted in the blessing בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלָיִם. If it was left out, the Amidah need not be repeated. true Passage 10. The congregation recites עֲנֵנוּ in שְׁמַע קוֹלֵנוּ. Should it have been omitted, one may say it in אֱלֹהַי נְצוֹר ahead of the second יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן. If the entire passage was forgotten, there is no need to repeat the Amidah. true Passage 11. During the Amidah's repetition, the chazzan recites עֲנֵנוּ as in Shacharit. He likewise recites the Priestly Blessing. true Passage 12. Our Sages declare: "A fast's reward depends upon tzedakah" (Berachot 6b). Thus, giving tzedakah on a fast day is fitting. true heading PRAYER FOR AV, THE NINTH Passage 1. One who failed to insert the paragraph נַחֵם during the blessing וְלִירוּשָׁלַיִם at Minchah, and noticed his error after concluding בּוֹנֵה יְרוּשָׁלָיִם, should include it in the blessing שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה after reciting עֲנֵנוּ. true Passage 2. Should he become aware of the error after finishing the blessing שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה, he is to insert נַחֵם in the blessing רְצֵה, ahead of the phrase וְתֶחֱזֶינָה עֵינֵינוּ. true Passage 3. If, after finishing the blessing הַמַּחֲזִיר שְׁכִינָתוֹ לְצִיּוֹן, he became aware of his error, he should insert it in the blessing מוֹדִים, ahead of the phrase וְעַל כֻּלָּם. true Passage 4. Should he omit it from all of these blessings, he is not required to repeat the Amidah. true heading SEQUENCE FOR REDEEMING A FIRSTBORN SON Passage 1. Each Israelite is bound by a mitzvah to redeem his first-born son of his Israelite wife. By giving five sela'im to a Kohen, the father redeems his son. The rite is carried out on the thirty-first day of the child's life. The steps for this mitzvah appear on page 460. true Passage 2. Should the mitzvah be done prior to the proper time, the procedure is invalid. If performed later than the proper time, the redemption stands, yet the father has been remiss in performing a mitzvah. Should the father fail altogether to redeem his son, the son must redeem himself upon becoming an adult. true Passage 3. Five sela'im equals 102 grams of pure silver. This sum may be given to the Kohen in silver, or its equivalent in any object, save these: land, servants, or a note of debt owed to the father. Use of any such item renders the procedure invalid. true Passage 4. Custom is to mark this occasion with a festive meal honoring the first-born son's redemption. This meal is deemed a seudat mitzvah, a meal one is commanded to share in. true Passage 5. The redemption rite is performed at the start of the meal, once bread has been eaten. Right after the redemption, the Kohen says the blessing over wine. (Should wine be lacking, redemption takes place before the meal, and the Kohen blesses another beverage.) true
