asked 4 years ago

peace,
Although Yom Kippur has just started, I’ll know for next year.
Could you please, if it’s not too much trouble, have the rabbi write down exactly what should be said in the various Yom Kippur prayers?
I understand that there is no need to pray in a minyan, so what exactly should I say at home?
I understand that it may be a hassle to specify, but I would be very happy if it were possible.
Thank you and Happy New Year

As on any other day. Amidah and Kash are the main thing. Blessings of the dawn. ‘Asheri’ is preferable. On the day of the Lord’s Supper, there is a shofar obligation. On the day of the Lord’s Supper, there is a confession obligation (which is already in Amidah). It is true that there is interest in praying in a minyan, even if it is not obligatory. And on the days of the Horah, the interest is greater (because public prayer is more answered). See the beginning of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s “On the Repentance” regarding public atonement.

Note: On Shabbat and festivals, there is also the matter of “holy calling” (“holy calling” in the language of Scripture is a gathering), as the Ramban wrote: “And the reason for the holy calling is that on this day all are called and gathered to sanctify it, because it is a commandment upon Israel to gather in the house of God on a festival day to sanctify the day publicly in prayer and praise to God in clean clothing.” And some have brought it into the halakhic system (543 in gold inlays, as I believe), and in any case it is clear that there is value in this beyond the regular minyan on weekdays.
