The fast is observed from dawn until dusk.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Menachem Posner|url=http://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/aid/2316462/jewish/Tzom-Gedaliah-Fast-Day.htm|title=Tzom Gedaliah Fast Day - What, why and how we mourn on the day after Rosh Hashanah|website=www.chabad.org|language=en|access-date=2017-09-25}}</ref> As with regular fast days, the [[hazzan]] includes the prayer [[Aneinu]] in the repetition of the [[Amidah]] during [[Shacharit]] and [[Mincha]] as a separate Bracha between the prayers for redemption and healing, and in the private recitation of the [[Mincha]] [[amidah]] it is recited as an addition to Shema Koleinu (general prayer acceptance). The [[Avinu Malkeinu]] prayer is recited and as it is during the [[Ten Days of Repentance]] the additions reference the new year. A [[Torah]] scroll is taken from the ark and the passages of [[Ki Tissa]] are read from the Torah (Exodus 32:11–14 and 34:1–10). The same [[Torah reading]] is added at [[Mincha]], followed in Ashkenazic congregations by a [[Haftarah]] reading.
 
As the fast falls during the days of Penitence, the Selichot prayer is recited before the start of Shacharit and incorporates also an extra paragraph relating to the Fast of Gedaliah. In the Ashekenazic rite, there are no Selichot recited at the time of the repetition of the Amidah,<ref>An exception is according to the Chabad custom not to recite Selichot after Rosh Hashanah (see [https://www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/template_cdo/aid/4350/jewish/What-Are-Selichot.htm here]), they recite the Selichot for Tzom Gedalia after the Amidah.</ref> but some Sephardic communities do recite additional supplications at this time as well.
