Shalom u'Vrachah!

Regarding what you wrote that in your copy of Vayikra 13:1, "Ve'el Aharon" is not translated—one should check the earliest printings (especially those published by Dr. Moshe Ginzburger, Berlin 1898, 1903), as it is certainly an omission by a printer. Those who followed did not pay attention to correct it.

Regarding what you wrote about reciting "VeLakachta Solet" on Yom Kippur that falls on Shabbat: a) It is not sufficient to mention it during the Avodah prayer because the reason for its recitation is as stated, "uNeshalmah Parim Sefateinu haOsek b'Torato" (our lips will substitute for bulls—the one who studies its Torah; see Shulchan Aruch Admor Hazaken, new edition, end of section). b) It cannot be said in order—since the Musaf prayer includes both Musaf for the day and Musaf for Shabbat, and "VeLakachta Solet" comes between them. c) Regarding what you wrote that the Yom Kippur services must be in precise order etc.—this applies only to those done in white garments (Yoma 60a), especially "VeLakachta Solet," which pertains to Shabbat and not to Yom Kippur. See also Rambam's commentary on Hilchot Avodat Yom HaKippurim ch.1 halacha 2. And Zevachim (91a): "Tadir v'she'eino tadir kadim v'shachat..."

Summary

The Rebbe clarifies textual issues in Targum Yonatan and provides detailed halachic guidance regarding the recitation of "VeLakachta Solet" on Yom Kippur that coincides with Shabbat, emphasizing accuracy in both textual tradition and liturgical practice.
