Siman 295 – After Maariv

  1. Say Veehee Noam. The first verse is said standing and the last verse is repeated. Some places omit the first verse in a mourner's house. (Rama – MB 1)
  1. Then say the Seder Kedusha beginning only from “V’atta Kadosh…”. These prayers should be extended with a nice voice because only after Seder Kedusha do the wicked return to Gehinnom. (Rama – MB 2)
  1. If Yom Tov will be falling out during the coming week (even Friday), omit Veehee Noam. This does not include Purim or Erev Pesach. But do not omit V’yitten L’cha. (Rama – MB 3)
  1. The chazzan should recite Havdalla after V’yitten L’cha in order to be motzi those who have no wine. (ShA 1 – BeH “avol”)
  1. The custom is to mention Eliyahu Hanovi on Motzo'ay Shabbos, and to pray that he should come tell us the news of the Redemption. Some people are particular to recite the other common songs about Eliyahu. (Rama – MB 1)
