Mishneh Brura writes (423:5)
וכן יש אומרים ולכפרת פשע ויש שאינם אומרים רק בשנת העיבור ואפילו בשנת העיבור יש שאינם אומרים אותו אלא עד כלות חודש העיבור דהיינו עד אחר חודש אדר ובכל אלה נהרא נהרא ופשטיה וכל אחד יעשה כמנהג המקום.
There are different minhagim with respect to adding the words ולכפרת פשע to musaf of Rosh Chodesh. Some add it only during leap years, some add it only until Adar of the leap year, some add it every month of the leap year. M.B. says follow whatever your minhag is.
I thought Artscroll follows M.B. l'halacha, so I am not sure why in the instructions in the siddur they write stama that ולכפרת פשע is added until Adar of the leap year with no mention of other minhagim. I wonder if those minhagim have simply vanished, or has Artscroll's standardization has made them vanish.
ArtScroll is not a scholarly edition, and its editors never intended to capture/record every possible nusach. Worse, in the past their nusach-Ashk'naz machzorim have featured aspects (perhaps aspects they had in their own nusach-S'fard davening?) not accepted in nusach Ashk'naz (e.g. inserting "r'tzei vimnuchaseinu" into "EvA Melech Rachaman" w/in YT Musaf).
ReplyDeleteBTW, minhag Frankfurt is to say "ulchaparas pasha" _only_ for RChAdarII, as it's at that time that we recognize there's an extra month in the year.
A friend explained to me the basis of our minhag to add only from Tishrei till Adar II. It should be from Tishrei to Tishrei, or Nissan to Nissan. Pshat is that the Gemara in MK says that Beis Din looks into Ibbur only from Tishrei and onwards, and the ibbur option ends with Adar. That's why we begin the extra word in Tishrei and end with Adar.
