Which groups of Jews observe the monthly holiday known as "Yom Kippur Katan," in which one dedicates the day before Rosh Chodesh to repentance, often including fasting and selichot?
In what ways do different groups interpret the custom? Is it considered a firm requirement, a fixed minhag, or simply an optional extra tool for spiritual improvement? May one do it some months but not others?
Answer
In Yerushalyaim it is common to find minyanim saying it. Furthermore, it is the official practice of the Mir yeshiva to say Yom Kippur Koton.
Although the minhag is not widespread being that it is something that was practiced by exceedingly righteous as its source is in kabbala
