- Q. One who usually gets to read maftir on a regular Taanis day, can he also on this special year occasion, when Friday is Asarah Beteveth, receive and read the maftir of Taanis, even if it is already after the Shekia and technically it is already Shabbos?
Should he avoid saying that he is receiving Shabbos earlier than the shekiah is, when he always accepts Shabbos early? What about Tosefes Shabbos?
A. One should try to do all the above on the onset before Shabbos begins.
