Shulchan Arukh

604 ‎[1] **“The order of the Eve** **of Yom Kippur** **(the Day of Atonement)” - Containing two paragraphs.**

It is a commandment to eat on the Eve of Yom Kippur and to increase (one’s eating) at the meal.

Hagah*: It is forbidden to fast on it (the Eve of Yom Kippur), even a dream fast (due to a nightmare), (מהרי״ל). And if one vows to fast on it, see above (in the Shulḥan Arukh, *Oraḥ Ḥayyim*), chapter 570, paragraph 2. ‎[2] They do not “prostrate themselves” (i.e., they do not say the *taḥanun* prayers) on the Eve of Yom Kippur.
Hagah*: They also do not say “למנצח” and “מזמור לתודה”, (מנהגים). Also they do not say before dawn many “*seliḥot*” (prayers of forgiveness), but there are places where it is customary to increase *seliḥot*. All (this should be done) according to the (local) custom. But concerning the matter of the saying of “אבינו מלכנו”, (Our Father, our King”), on the Eve of Yom Kippur, there is a disagreement among the *aḥronim*, (later scholars). The custom in my city is not to say it unless Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat; since we do not say on the Shabbat “אבינו מלכנו”, therefore we say it in the *Shaḥarit* (Morning Prayers) on the Eve of Yom Kippur.
