Personal Requests On Rosh Hashana

This is an answer to an email question that I thought would interest the greater public.

There is a common notion that one may not daven for personal needs on Rosh Hashana.

I would like to put this to rest and ENCOURAGE everyone to daven for their personal needs on this special day [beyond the standard text where we daven for Klal Yisrael and the rest of the world]. I have reasons for emphasizing this that I won't go into. But I assure you that the Chazon Ish and other luminaries [including Mori Vi'Rabbi Shlita] endorsed this practice.
