Passage 7. If he concluded the blessing with the regular Motzaei Shabbat formula (הַמַּבְדִּיל בֵּין קֹדֶשׁ לְחוֹל), he must recite the proper Havdalah blessing. true Passage 8. If he omitted the Havdalah blessing entirely, reciting the regular festival Kiddush, and realized the error during the meal, he should recite the Havdalah blessing—in the festival format, see page 329—over a cup of wine. true heading THE FESTIVAL AMIDAH Passage 1. One who mistakenly recites the weekday Amidah on a festival should follow the laws of one who mistakenly recites the weekday Amidah on Shabbat. See "Shabbat," above. true heading THE PRIESTLY BLESSING Passage 1. It is a custom in the Diaspora for the Kohanim to recite the priestly blessing only on festivals, since people are then in a festive mood. This form of the priestly blessing is recited in the Musaf prayer even when the festival occurs on Shabbat; the same applies to Yom Kippur. true Passage 2. The Kohen must wash his hands beforehand. It is preferable that he wash his hands as close to the recital of the blessing as possible, i.e., during the repetition of the Musaf Amidah. true Passage 3. A Levi washes the Kohen's hands. If no Levi is present, a firstborn takes his place. If no firstborn is present, the Kohen washes his own hands. true Passage 4. The Kohen must remove his shoes before reciting the blessing, taking care not to touch them if he has already washed his hands. Therefore, the Kohanim should untie their shoelaces before washing, so that they need not use their hands when removing them immediately prior to reciting the blessing. true Passage 5. The Kohen should go to the front of the synagogue no later than when the chazzan begins רְצֵה. If he has not begun to do so by the time the chazzan has concluded that blessing, he is not to go up at all. true Passage 6. The Kohen should be covered with a tallit when the chazzan calls out "Kohanim." true Passage 7. If there is only one Kohen present, the chazzan says "Kohanim" in an undertone. true Passage 8. He then raises his hands under his tallit so that they are in front of him, at shoulder height. He then separates his fingers between the middle and ring fingers, and between the index finger and the thumb. He then brings both hands horizontally near each other, to create five spaces in total between the fingers. The right hand should be slightly higher than the left. true Passage 9. The people standing behind the Kohanim are not included in the priestly blessing, but those in front of them or on their side are included, for even an iron curtain cannot separate between Israel and their Father in Heaven. However, they should face the Kohanim (but not look at them) and not look around, as the blessing of the Kohanim must be face-to-face. The people should pay attention to the blessing, and should not recite any Scriptural verses (along with the Kohanim); they should recite only the prayer רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם in three segments (page 352), while the Kohanim chant the wordless melodies before the concluding three words וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם. true heading ELUL Passage 1. On every day of Elul, with the exception of Shabbat and the day preceding Rosh Hashanah, the shofar is sounded at the end of the morning service, as follows: tekiah-shevarim-teruah-tekiah, tekiah-shevarim-tekiah, tekiah-teruah-tekiah. true Passage 2. From the second day of Rosh Chodesh Elul until the day preceding Yom Kippur, some keep the custom to recite three additional Psalms each day (in addition to the daily recitation of Psalms divided according to the monthly cycle). On the first day, true
