EREV YOM KIPPUR
A shortened version of Selichot is said in the morning. Avinu Malkeinu is recited, but Tachanun, Lamnatzeach and Mizmor L’Todah are not. Those who did not do Hatarat Nedarim on Erev Rosh Hashana do so today.
There is a mitzvah to have a Seudah (festive meal). Some have one Seudah in the morning and another after Mincha. Men go to the Mikvah after midday. Kapparot are performed, either with chickens or with money. There will be baskets in shul for Kapparot money, which is distributed to the poor for Yom Tov. The text of Kapparot may be found in the Yom Kippur Artscroll Machzor (p.2) and the Soloveitchik Machzor (p.2).
