Rosh Hashanah Leading Into Although this year's holidays are often called a "three day yom tov", the Shabbat which follows consecutively after Rosh Hashanah this year is treated as a regular Shabbat, and is Shabbat Shuvah. Avinu Malkeinu is omitted from Minhah on the second day, as mentioned above. On Friday night, we light candles at a regular Friday night time (not like the second day of Yom Tov), 7:02pm this year. In shul, we recite Psalms 92 and 93 only as an abridged Kabbalat Shabbat, and we say "hamelekh hakadosh" in Magen Avot. Shabbat Shuvah has a special Haftorah, and a special drashah helping the community move forward in our process of teshuvah. Shabbat concludes with a regular , and Sunday is the deferred observance of Tzom Gedaliah, as mentioned above.

Eruv Tavshilin It is prohibited to prepare from Yom Tov to another day of Yom Tov, and from Yom Tov to Shabbat, but it is permitted to prepare from Friday Yom Tov only to Shabbat by means of an tavshilin, two cooked dishes (customarily a hard-boiled egg and a piece of bread). These are prepared on Erev Rosh Hashanah, and symbolize the beginning of the preparation for Shabbat before Yom Tov, such that the preparation on Yom Tov is not a new preparation, but just the conclusion of a process which began on Erev Yom Tov, rendering it permissible. The items are held in the right hand and a blessing and formula are recited over them, found in the Artscroll Siddur on page 654 and the Koren Siddur on page 759. The items must be eaten on Shabbat and may not be eaten before that as long as preparations are being made for Shabbat. If forgotten, one may rely on the eruv tavshilin made by members of the rabbinic staff, but this may not be relied on initially – everyone must make his or her own to start (even if not cooking for Shabbat, it may be needed even for lighting candles).
