Additional Luach Information

According to the Ramo (494:3) we do not say tachanun from Rosh Chodesh Sivan until after Isru Chag (there are other minhogim that do not say tachanun until after the seven days of hashlomoh that follow Shavuos).

On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we do not say tachanun like on every Rosh Chodesh. The second of Sivan is called Yom HaMeyuchas since after yetzias Mitzrayim Hashem commanded Moshe to say to bnei Yisroel: "Now therefore if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own treasure from among all peoples" (Shemos 19:5) to prepare them for Torah. Afterwards, the third, forth, and fifth of Sivan are the Sheloshes Yemei Hagboloh when bnei Yisroel waited for kabolas HaTorah (Mishnah Berurah 494:8, and see Shabbos 86-88).

We do not say vetzidkoscho tzedek on Shabbos since it is the YOm MaMeyuchas
