כַּפָּרוֹת: "בְּנֵי אָדָם - וּלְשָׁלוֹם" שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים
In [the expiation ceremony known as] Kaparos, the passage from Bnei adam until u’leshalom is recited three times.
וּבְכָל פַּעַם מְסַבֵּב ג' פְּעָמִים
The chicken is circled above one’s head three times after each recitation,
סַךְ הַכֹּל מְסַבֵּב ט' פְּעָמִים
for a total of nine times.
עַד סוֹף תִּשְׁרֵי אֵין אוֹמְרִים תַּחֲנוּן
[From this day] until the end of the month of Tishrei, Tachanun is not recited.
מַלְקוּת: הַמַּלְקֶה וְהַנִּלְקֶה שְׁנֵיהֶם אוֹמְרִים וְהוּא רַחוּם שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים
[Accompanying the 39 stripes of the nominal flogging called] malkos, the verse beginning Vehu Rachum is recited three times by both the person administering the lashes and the one receiving them.
בְּעֶרֶב יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים הָעֲבוֹדָה הִיא חֲרָטָה עַל הֶעָבָר
On the eve of Yom Kippur, one’s avodah should focus on regret over the past;
בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים — קַבָּלָה עַל לְהַבָּא.
on Yom Kippur itself, it should focus on commitment for the future.
