Halocho #1849 - Tomorrow is Yom Kippour Kattan

The day before Rosh Chodesh is called Yom Kippour Kattan.

Mincha (the afternoon prayers) on Yom Kippour Kattan includes prayers asking for repentance, so as to begin the new month with a "clean slate". An online copy in PDF can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/YomKippKatan

If Rosh Chodesh is on Shabbat or Sunday then Yom Kippour Kattan is recited on the Thursday before, so as not to fast on Friday.

Some have the custom to fast on Yom Kippour Kattan.

Tomorrow - Thursday - is Yom Kippour Kattan. Rosh Chodesh Tammuz will be on Shabbat & Sunday.
