We then proceed to Ma’ariv for Rosh Hashanah. 50 23 53
Just before the Amidah we add the special Shabbat paragraph (V’Shomru) before reciting Tiku BaChodesh 60 29 65 Shofar.
Amidah - Remember to include the Shabbat additions 62-74 31-39 67-83
After the Amidah we may say Vayechulu, even alone. Preferably it should be said with another person, 76 39 83 because we are bearing witness. We do not say the subsequent bracha or Magen Avot.
At this point it is our custom to recite L’David Mizmor. 78 91 85
We conclude with Alenu, L’David Ori and Yigdal. 84-88 43-47; 55 91-95; 99

Because it is also Erev Shabbat we recite the last 2 Psalms from Kabbalat 320-322 Shabbat.
Ma’ariv for Shabbat/Yom Tov 330-336
Before the Amidah we add the Shabbat paragraph, “V’Shomru” before reciting 336 the Yom Tov line “VaYidaber Moshe” (in gray)
Yom Tov Amidah – follow the ArtScroll instructions for Shmini Atzeret and also 660-670 include the additions [in brackets] for Shabbat
Because it is also Shabbat we recite “VaYichulu,” preferably with at least one other person present, because we’re giving testimony (it can, however, be 346 recited alone)

Note: At this point the kehillah would hear the reading of Kohelet with its profound messages. It’s appropriate to take a few moments to examine this powerful megillah. Unfortunately, Kohelet is not found in the ArtScroll Siddur so you’ll need a Tanach, or a Chumash (at the end of Devarim) to access it. BEFORE Yom Tov you can also link to Sefaria: https://www.sefaria.org/Ecclesiastes
When davening at home we do not recite the tefillot associated with the Torah Reading. On Shmini Atzetet the reading is the same “all purpose” parsha (Devarim 14:22-16:17) read on the last day of Pesach and second day of Shavuot; it covers 964 Ma’aser Sheni, Shmittah and all the chagim.
The Maftir is from Bamidbar 29:35-30:1 and the Haftarah, from the first book of Melachim (8:54-9:1), continues the story of King Shlomo’s dedication ceremony (see 974 second day of Sukkot!) and includes his address to the Jewish people.
Because it is also Shabbat we recite the first paragraph of Yekum Purkan 448
If it is your custom to recite Yizkor, you may do so here. Yizkor does NOT 810 require a minyan (except for the Kaddish at the end.)
Ashrei 456
Musaf Amidah – follow the ArtScroll instructions for Shmini Atzeret and 674-690 remember to also include the [words in brackets] for Shabbat.
We do not recite Tefillat Geshem – the Prayer for Rain – at home. It is a public prayer.
476; Concluding tefillot: Ein Kelokeinu/Alenu/Adon Olam 480; 12
Shabbat Shalom! Chag Sameach!

Note: Although we don’t read the Torah at home it is most appropriate on Simchat Torah to spend time learning the final parsha of the Torah – V’Zot Habracha – describing the blessings to the tribes and the passing of Moshe - as well as the 975-976 opening chapter of Bereishit, describing the story of Creation, as we conclude the annual Torah readings and begin anew.
Maftir is the same as on Shmini Atzeret 974
The Haftarah is from the first chapter of Yehoshua, as he takes over the leadership of 976-977 the Jewish People following the passing of Moshe.
