Yom Kippur Katan translit. Minor Day of Atonement , is a practice observed by some Jews on the day preceding each Rosh Chodesh or New Moon Day, the observance consisting of fasting and supplication, but being much less rigorous than that of Yom Kippur proper. The custom is of comparatively recent origin and is not mentioned in the Shulchan Aruch . It appears to have been inaugurated in the sixteenth century at Safed by the kabbalist Moses ben Jacob Cordovero Moses Cordovero Da Silva, Peri adash, Rosh odesh, 417 , who called the fast Yom Kippur a an and it was included by Isaac Luria in his Seder ha Tefillah . R. Isaiah Horowitz refers to it by that name, and says it should be observed by fasting and repentance Following the custom of the very pious, one must repent of his ways and make restitutions both in money and in personal acts, in order that he may enter the new month as pure as a new born infant Shelah , ed. Amsterdam, 1698, pp. 120b, 140a, 179a . When Rosh odesh occurs on a Sabbath or Sunday, Yom Kippur a an is observed on the preceding Thursday. The fasting is not obligatory, and only the very pious observe that act of self denial. The liturgy of the day, which consists of selichot , is recited at the Mincha prayer in the afternoon. Tallit and tefillin are adjusted, and if there are among the congregation ten persons who have fasted, they read from the scroll Va Yechal bibleverse Ex. 32 11 HE et seq. . The selichot are taken partly from the collection used on the general fast days and Yom Kippur, with the Viddui ha Gadol the great confession of sin by Nissim Ben Jacob Rabbenu Nissim and Ashamnu , and also a beautiful poem written for the occasion by Leon of Modena and beginning with Yom zeh . Some congregations add Avinu Malkenu . The fast ends with the Mincha prayer. For the text see Baer, Abodat Yisrael , pp. 317 319 Emden s Siddur Bet Ya a ob , ed. Warsaw, pp. 212a 216b.
