Chapter 598:
No Title (1
Paragraph)
1. If Rosh Hashanah falls out on Shabbat we say ...צדקתך in Mincha (מנחה, Afternoon Service). [There are those who say that you don’t say it.]
Chapter 599: No Title (1 Paragraph)
1. The eve of Rosh
Hashanah (ליל
ר׳ה) that
falls out on מוצאי
שׁבת [1] we say ...ותודיענו.
(3 Paragraphs)
1. If an egg was made on the first day of the
festival and similarly whatever was caught with it and whatever is touching it
is forbidden on the second day[2]. [This was already explained in 513:5 and
chapter 515.]
2. In Kiddush of the second night [you should
wear a new garment or] place a new fruit before you and say שׁהחיינו.
And if you can’t find a new fruit in spite of all this you should say שׁהחיינו.
3. If the fist day falls out on Shabbat, we say
the שׁהחיינו over the Shofer on the second day. [There are those who say that you should
(also) say it (on the second day) even if the first day is on a weekday and
such is the custom in these areas.]
Chapter 601:
The arrangement of the second day of Rosh Hashanah (2 Paragraphs)
1. On the second day [we pray like on the first
day] and we read from “...והאלקים” (Genesis 22:1-4) until the end of the
portion. For Maftir we read like the
day before (Numbers 29:1-6). We conclude with the following found in Jeremiah “כה אמר ה׳ מצא
חן במדבר” until “הבן יקיר
לי אפרים”(Jeremiah 31:1-20). And
the night following Rosh Hashanah (מוצאי
ר׳ה) we make
Havdalah like after Shabbat but we don’t make the blessing over the spices and
on the fire.
2. Even in the land of Israel we make Rosh
Hashanah two days.
Chapter 602:
The arrangment of the days of Repentance (1 Paragraph)
1. All the days between Rosh Hashanah and The
Day of Attonement (Yom Kippur), we indulge in prayers and supplications. [And we say אלוקים
מלך morning and
evening except on Shabbat even if a Brit Milah (circumcision) occurs where you
don’t say תחנון [3],
nonetheless we say אלוקים
מלך. And we confess (say ודוי) three times every day before day break (עלות השׁחר) except on the day preceding the Day of Atonement
where we only say it one time. We don’t
put someone in חרם (the ban) and similarly we don’t allow someone to swear before
the court until after the Day of Atonement.
We don’t sanctify the new moon until after the Day of Atonement. On the Sabbath between Rosh Hashanah and The
Day of Atonement, the custom is to say צו׳ץ [4]]
Chapter 603:
No Tite (1 Paragraph)
1. Even one who is normally not concerned about
using bread baked by a gentile[5], it
is necessary to be careful on the ten days of repentance. [Every one should seek out and insepect his
deeds and to turn them back (from sin) in the Ten Days of Repentance. When there is a doupt if a sin was committed
(ספק עבירה), more repentance is necessary than a
unquestionable sin since something is more engraved (in memory) when one knows
about it then when one is unaware. For
this reason, the אשׁם תלוי קרבן [6]
must be more valuable than a חטאת (sin offering). ]

[1] The night just after the Sabbath ends.
[2] M.B: On other festivals it is permitted on the second day but not on Rosh Hashanah since on R.H. both days are sanctified as one. On the rest of the festivals, one of the days is a regular day and one is a festival day on a Biblical basis.
[3] A supplication for forgiveness said during the weekday where you fall on your face. See your prayer book for more information.
[4] I don’t know what this abbreviation means. I’ll post an update when I find it. Contact yanky5cool@yahoo.com if you happen to know what it means.
[5] Some Jews have the custom to not eat bread baked by a gentile and some do not. Food baked by non Jews is a completely different issue and is strictly forbidden unless a Jew turned on the fire and supervised as verified by the Kosher certificates in front of the Kosher eateries and Kosher symbols on food.
[6] Guilt offering given in the above cituation at the time of the temple.
