A few days ago I
posted about Kupat Hair's big campaign of the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year and I (among others) asked the question how is this the 9th year? This morning in shul I saw a whole booklet put out by kupat hair where they explain this "segula" and have an FAQ. Question number 4 is our question, the sefer says the ninth year and yet this year is not the ninth year? The answer given in the name of R' Wosner is you are right, it isn't the ninth year but it doesn't matter. In fact any 9 is good.
Here is the actual text from the booklet:
So when you really think about it, according to R' Wosner the whole Kupat Hair's campaign was a fraud. There is no 9 minutes of grace, as according to R' Wosner any 9 is good, just like it doesn't have to be the ninth year who says it has to be the ninth hour. Maybe all day on the 9th day of the 9th month is good. In fact maybe even the whole month?
The bottom line is once you say R' Wosner's answer that the 9th year is לאו דוקא where do you stop?

According to this, אה"נ - you don't stop.
According to this, it's beneficial to pray the entire 9th year after Yovel, it's beneficial to pray every Kislev, it's beneficial to pray on the 9th of every month, and it's beneficial to pray on the 9th hour every day. The more combinations of the above, the better.
