Q. Should we join the Seder Yom Kippur Kattan on Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul, when we don’t do so the rest of the year?
A. It is tradition for many to do so to reflect on the importance of the occasion at this crucial time of the year. Some also fast on this day. (Piskei Teshuva, Nitei Gavriel and others).
