ATorahMinute.com is a project of Midrash BEN ISH HAI where you can learn Torah anytime. It will send you a short Daily Halacha or daily Torah by Rabbi Ya'aqob Menashe.

Rabbi Ya'aqob Menashe often draws his inspiration for his Halakhoth (Halachot) and pearls of Torah from the Ben Ish Hai, Hakham Yoseph Hayyim, 'a"h. In addition, the daily bulletins include a wide variety of sources: Shulhan Arukh (Shulchan Aruch), Kaf Hahayim (Kaf Hachaim), Mishnah Berurah (Mishna Brura) and many other sources.

May Abinu Malkenu be said on Shabbath?

Rabbi Ya'aqob Menashe
Monday, September 6, 2010/Elul 27, 5770

There are differing customs as to whether or not Abinu Malkenu may be said on Shabbath. This applies to Shabbath Shuba as well as the times Shabbath falls on Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur.

The Ashkenazi custom, in accordance with the Rama, is that Abinu Malkenu is not said on Shabbath. There are differing customs among Sephardim. Some Sephardim say Abinu Malkenu on Shabbath, whereas others do not. Those who do say it must be careful not to say the portions of forgiveness and sin, such as "Selah Lanu" (forgive us) or "Hatanu Lefanekha" (we have sinned before You), on Rosh Hashanah and Shabbath Shuba.

The instruction that I give at Midrash BEN ISH HAI is that Abinu Malkenu must not be said at all on Shabbath, whether on Shabbath Shuba, Rosh Hashanah that falls on Shabbath, or Yom Kippur that falls on Shabbath.
