Rosh Hashanah Halachic Questions Arise as Holiday Falls on Shabbat

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, questions arise regarding specific observances when the holiday's first day coincides with Shabbat. Rabbi Yaakov Sinai addresses the practice of eating fish during the holiday meal, noting that some people refrain from it. He also discusses the timing of the "Seder HaSimanim," the ritual meal where symbolic foods are eaten.

This year, the first day of Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat, prompting further halachic considerations. One such question concerns the Tashlich prayer, traditionally recited on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. When Rosh Hashanah begins on Shabbat, the Tashlich prayer is postponed to Sunday.

The article also references a "rare innovation" by the Lubavitcher Rebbe for the Day of Judgment, though details are not provided. The piece is part of Rabbi Sinai's "Seder Halacha" series, which delves into contemporary halachic issues.
