13. Maariv of Motzei Shabbos Tisha B’av:[1]

In Shemoneh Esrei of Maariv one is to recite Ata Chonantanu.

Forgot Ata Chonantanu on Motzei Shabbos which is Tisha B’av:[2] If one forgot to say Atah Chonantanu on Motzei Shabbos which coincides with Tisha B’av, he does not need to repeat Shemoneh Esrei, as he in any event will not be eating until he makes Havdala over wine on Sunday night.[3] [He must however say Baruch Hamavdil prior to doing Melacha.]

Ata Kadosh:[4] After the completion of Eicha and Kinos the congregation recites Veata Kadosh [omitting the verses of Uva Letziyon and Veani Zos Brisi]. This applies even when Tisha B’av falls on Motzei Shabbos, in which case one skips Vihi Noam Noam and begins from Veata Kadosh.

Vayiten Lecha:[5] Vayiten Lecha is not recited on Motzei Shabbos which is Tisha B’av.

Greetings: Upon leaving Shul, one is to avoid wishing a Shavua Tov and the like to a friend.[6] One is not to walk in groups but rather alone in a state of mourning.[7]

Shabbos clothing: After Maariv, those who have not yet done so are to remove their Shabbos clothes.

[3] Vetzaruch Iyun if he accidently eats on Motzei Tisha B’av without Havdala, or broke his fast without Havdala for whatever reason, must he repeat Shemoneh Esrei? See Ketzos Hashulchan 93 footnote 9. SSH”K 62 footnote 95 rules he is not to recite Ata Chonantanu or repeat Shemoneh Esrei.
