Eiruv Tavshilin

When Yom Tov occurs on Thursday and Friday, an eiruv tavshilin must be prepared on the preceding Wednesday. The head of the family should take bread or matzoh and an item of cooked food such as meat or fish, put them on a plate and say the following berachah:

Eiruvei Chatzeiros

Two or more Jews who share a courtyard or hall, each of them living in his own apartment, are forbidden on Shabbos to carry from their apartment into the courtyard or hall, or from the courtyard or hall into their apartment. It is therefore considered a mitzvah for them to make an eiruvei chatzeiros.

The procedure is as follows. Erev Shabbos, one of the tenants takes a whole loaf of bread and confers a share of it to all tenants of the courtyard by handing it to another tenant and saying in whatever language he understands: “Take this loaf of bread and acquire it on behalf of all the Jews who live in this courtyard.” This person then takes the loaf and raises it one tefach. The one who is making the eiruv takes it from him and recites the following berachah:

Blessed are
You, Adonoyבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King
of the Universe,אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָםWho sanctified us

Eiruvei Techumin

On Shabbos and Yom Tov, you are forbidden to go more than 2,000 amos from the place you were at the onset of Shabbos. If you need to walk farther than the Shabbos techum or boundary, you must place an eiruvei techumin (a boundary eiruv) before Shabbos or Yom Tov.

The procedure is as follows. You should take enough bread for two meals and go to the place where the eiruv is to be placed (within the 2,000 amos) and recite the following berachah:

Blessed are
You, Adonoyבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King

Candle Lighting

Candle Lighting for Shabbos

The berachah for all mitzvos must be recited before doing the mitzvah. This rule, however, does not apply to the lighting of the Shabbos candles. By lighting the candles, the woman thereby ushers in the Shabbos. Since the recitation of the berachah is considered to be the beginning of the act of candle lighting, she has thereby ushered in the Shabbos and may no longer light the candles. Therefore, she should first light the candles, and in order that the berachah precede the actual mitzvah, she should cover her face with her hands in order not to see the candles, then recite the berachah, remove her hands and look at the candles. In this manner, it is as if she has recited the berachah before lighting the candles.

It is customary for the husband to prepare the candles and wicks before Shabbos.

Lecha Dodi

This poem was written by Rabbi Solomon Halevy Alkabetz, whose name שְׁלֹמֹה הַלֵוִי is spelled out by the first letter of each stanza.

In this poem, the bridegroom (Israel) calls to his Beloved Friend (God) asking that He join him in welcoming his bride (the Sabbath).

The concept of welcoming the Sabbath goes back to Talmudic times. Rabbi Chanina robed himself and stood at sunset on the eve of the Sabbath and exclaimed, “Come! Let us go forth to welcome the Sabbath Queen.” Rabbi Yanai garbed himself in festive attire on Sabbath eve and exclaimed; “Come bride, Come bride” (Shabbos 119a).

Come my Beloved Friend
to greet the bride,לְכָה דוֹדִי לִקְרַאת כַּלָּהlet us welcome
the Sabbath.פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָה

Refrain:

Come my Beloved Friend

and for praise.לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת וְלִתְהִלָּה

Refrain:

Come my Beloved Friend

the Sabbath.פְּנֵי שַׁבָּת נְקַבְּלָהTo greet the Sabbath,
come let us goלִקְרַאת שַׁבָּת לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָהfor it is the
source of blessing;כִּי הִיא מְקוֹר הַבְּרָכָהfrom the very

When one is praying without a minyan, continue with the following:

Maariv Service for Shabbos and Yom Tov

Borechu

Unlike the morning Shacharis and afternoon Mincha services which correspond to the two daily communal sacrifices (Tamid), offered in the Temple, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, the evening Maariv service has no counterpart in the Temple service, since sacrifices were never brought at night in the Temple.

The Maariv service was instituted to correspond to the Temple ritual of keeping on the altar the unconsumed parts of sacrifices that had been offered earlier in the day. These parts were kept on the altar at night so that they could be completely consumed by its fire. This ritual was applicable only if there actually were unconsumed parts of offerings.

Although the Maariv service was instituted to correspond to this ritual, and may therefore seem to be non-obligatory (see Maseches Berachos 27b), Rabbeinu Yitzchak Alfasi and all the other codifiers have ruled that Maariv has been accepted and hallowed by custom, and is therefore an obligatory service.

The Shema is preceded by two blessings and followed by two other blessings.

The Chazzan says:

Bless Adonoy
Who is blessed.בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְ

The congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats:

Blessed is Adonoy,
Who is blessedבָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה הַמְבֹרָךְforever
and ever.לְעוֹלָם וָעֶדBlessed are
You, Adonoy,בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King

The following three words should be said when praying without a minyan:

(Almighty,
faithful King)אֵל מֶלֶךְ נֶאֱמָןHear,
Israel:שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵלAdonoy is our
God, Adonoy is One.יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהֹוָה אֶחָד

The following three lines are to be said silently:

your God—אֲ֯נִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֯

You must be careful to connect the last words of Shema, ה' אֱלֹקֵיכֶם (Adonoy, your God), with the word אֶמֶת (is true) without pause or interruption so that these three words form one sentence, meaning “Adonoy your God is true” (Maseches Berachos 13a).

—is
true—אֱ֯מֶת

The chazan repeats:

Adonoy, your
God, is true.יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֯ אֱ֯מֶת—and faithful
is all this,וֶאֱמוּנָה כָּל זֹאתand it is permanently

(On Shabbos Chanukah the following prayer is added. If you omitted it, you need not repeat the Shemoneh Esrei. If, however, you became aware of your omission before concluding the blessing, you should say it at that time, and conclude by saying, “ וְעַל כֻּלָּם , and for all the foregoing.”)

The following prayer, בְּרָכָה מֵעֵין שֶׁבַע the abridged form of the seven blessings of the Maariv Shemoneh Esrei, is said only by the Chazzan. This prayer is not said if the first night of Passover occurs on Friday night. It is also not recited when prayers are held in the house of a bridegroom or in the house of a mourner. It is to be said only in a place that has been designated as a permanent place of prayer.

Order of Shabbos in the Home

Blessing the Children

It has become a widely accepted custom for parents to bless their children on the eve of Shabbos.

The placing of both hands upon the child's head when giving the blessing, symbolizes that the blessing is bestowed with fullness of spirit and heart.

For a boy:

May God
make youיְשִׂימְךָ אֱלֹהִיםlike Ephraim
and Menashe.כְּאֶפְרַיִם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁהMay Adonoy bless
you and guard you.יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהֹוָה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָMay Adonoy shine
His countenanceיָאֵר יְהֹוָה פָּנָיוupon
youאֵלֶיךָand be gracious
unto you.וִיחֻנֶּךָMay Adonoy turn
His countenanceיִשָּׁא יְהֹוָה פָּנָיוtoward
youאֵלֶיךָand grant
you peace.וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם

For a girl:

May God
make youיְשִׂימֵךְ אֱלֹהִיםlike Sorah, Rivkah,
Rochel and Leah.כְּשָׂרָה רִבְקָה רָחֵל וְלֵאָהMay Adonoy bless
you and guard you.יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהֹוָה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָMay Adonoy shine
His countenanceיָאֵר יְהֹוָה פָּנָיוupon
youאֵלֶיךָand be gracious
unto you.וִיחֻנֶּךָMay Adonoy turn
His countenanceיִשָּׁא יְהֹוָה פָּנָיוtoward
youאֵלֶיךָand grant
you peace.וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם

Sholom Aleichem

Rabbi Yose son of Rabbi Yehudah said: “Two angels accompany a man on the eve of Shabbos from the synagogue to his home, one good angel and one evil angel.” When the person arrives home to find the lights burning, the table set, and the bed made, the good angel exclaims, “May it be God's will that it be so next Shabbos.” But if not so, if the the house is dark and in disorder, the evil angel exclaims, “May it be God's will that it be so next Shabbos.” The good angel is compelled to answer Amein.—Maseches Shabbos 119b

The custom of singing Sholom Aleichem, peace upon you, upon returning from the synagogue is based on the above Talmudic teaching. Since every Jew is accompanied home by these two angels, it is fitting that he welcome them into his home. Obviously, one should prepare for Shabbos in such manner to evoke the angels' best wishes.

Kiddush for Shabbos Eve

The fourth of the Ten Commandments bids us “ זָכוֹר אֶת יוֹם הַשַׁבָּת לְקַדְשׁוֹ ”, Remember the Shabbos day, Lekadsho to keep it holy ( Exodus 20:8). The word also implies to sanctify it. Jewish law therefore requires us to sanctify the Shabbos at its beginning—and at its conclusion—with an oral declaration. Thus we have the mitzvah of Kiddush upon the arrival of the Shabbos and Havdala at its conclusion.

Most halachic authorities agree that the Scriptural command to proclaim the sanctity of the Shabbos is fulfilled by reciting the middle blessing of the Friday night Shemoneh Esreh. The command to recite the Kiddush at home, over wine, is rabbinic.

In Babylonia it was customary to recite Kiddush over wine in the synagogue at the end of the Friday night service for the travelers who remained in the synagogue to eat and sleep. ( Pesachim 101a, see Tosofos s.v. דְאָכְלוּ)

In many synagogues in the diaspora it is still customary to recite this Kiddush. But in Eretz Yisroel, the custom was never instituted, and so to this day, Kiddush is not recited there on Friday night.

It is forbidden to eat on Friday night without first reciting Kiddush, to be followed immediately by the meal.

When Kiddush is said over wine, the challa loaves must be covered. When wine is not available on Friday night, it is permissible to recite Kiddush over two whole challa loaves; in such an instance, the challa need not be covered. When reciting Kiddush over bread, you must wash your hands and say the berachah “Al netilas yodayim” before reciting the Kiddush.

Halachic opinions differ as to whether Kiddush should be said while standing or while seated at the table. Both practices are widespread and one should follow family tradition or the tradition of one's teachers in this matter.

Recite quietly:

And evening came,
then morning came:וַיְהִי עֶרֶב וַיְהִי בֹקֶר

Recite aloud:

the earth were completedוַיְכֻלּוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץand [so were]

When three or more males aged 13 or older eat together, one of them leads the group in reciting the Birkas Hamazon.

The leader begins by saying:

“Gentlemen, let us
say the blessing:רַבּוֹתַי נְבָרֵךְ

On Chanukah add:

If you forgot to say עַל הַנִּסִּים , you may include it when you reach הָרַחֲמָן on page 000 by saying: הָרַחֲמָן הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה־לָּנוּ נִסִּים וְנִפְלָאוֹת כְּמוֹ שֶׁעָשָׂה לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה , and then continue on Chanukah with בִּימֵי מַתִּתְיָהוּ .

If you reminded yourself before concluding the second blessing עַל הָאָרֶץ וְעַל הַמָּזוֹן , you may repeat it at that time and continue with the Birkas Hamazon.

If you forgot to say יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא and became aware of it before starting the fourth blessing (הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב), or even if you are in doubt, see page 000.

If you reminded yourself after you had already begun the fourth blessing and have said: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' , then you must repeat the entire Birkas Hamazon. These laws apply only to Shabbos, and the Festival days of Pesach, Shavuos and Sukkos. On Chol Ha-Moed or on Rosh Chodesh days that do not fall on Shabbos, you need not repeat the Birkas Hamazon even though you began the blessing of הַטּוֹב וְהַמֵּטִיב .

commandmentמִצְוַת עֲֹשֵׂה שֶׁלto love my
fellow Jew.וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ

The following verses from Scriptures are recited upon entering the synagogue, as though asking permission of God to enter and pray in His Holy place.

How good are your
tents, Jacob:מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ יַעֲקֹבyour dwelling
places, Israel.מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵלAs for me, through

Adon Olam

This hymn has been attributed to R' Shlomo ibn Gabirol who lived in Spain during the eleventh century. While praising God's omnipotence and providence, it clarifies the meaning of the name Adonoy so that before proceeding to pray, each worshiper understands the significance of the God he is addressing.

Master of the
Universe Who reignedאֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְbefore any creature

Yigdal

This hymn, written by Daniel ben Yehuda, who was a Dayan in Rome about 1300, is based on Maimonides' 13 principles of Judaism. According to Maimonides, failure to believe in a single one of these principles places one outside the pale of Judaism.

1) The existence of GodExalted is the living
God, and praisedיִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים חַי וְיִשְׁתַּבַּחHe exists, and His
existence transcends time.נִמְצָא וְאֵין עֵת אֶל מְצִיאוּתוֹ2) God is OneHe is One, and there
is no unity like His,אֶחָד וְאֵין יָחִיד כְּיִחוּדוֹHe is invisible, His
unity is infinitive.נֶעְלָם וְגַם אֵין סוֹף לְאַחְדּוּתוֹ3) God is uncorporealHe is unlike
the corporealאֵין לוֹ דְמוּת הַגּוּףor even the
non-corporeal,וְאֵינוֹ גוּףHis holiness is
beyond comparison.לֹא נַעֲרֹךְ אֵלָיו קְדֻשָּׁתוֹ4) God is EternalHe preceded every

First,רִאשׁוֹןand there was no
genesis to His beginning.וְאֵין רֵאשִׁית לְרֵאשִׁיתוֹ5) God alone must be worshippedHe is Master of the

greatness and His majesty.יוֹרֶה גְדֻלָּתוֹ וּמַלְכוּתוֹ6) Truth of Divine ProphecyThe fullness of His
prophecy, He bestowedשֶׁפַע נְבוּאָתוֹ נְתָנוֹon those He
treasured,אֶל אַנְשֵׁי סְגֻלָּתוֹand in whom
He gloried.וְתִפְאַרְתּוֹ7) Moses was the greatest of all prophetsThere never

will not exchangeלֹא יַחֲלִיף הָאֵלnor alter

his deeds.כְּמִפְעָלוֹHe sends evil
to the wickedנוֹתֵן לְרָשָׁע רָעaccording to
his wickedness.כְּרִשְׁעָתוֹ12) Belief in the coming of the MessiahHe will send our Messiah
at the end of days,יִשְׁלַח לְקֵץ הַיָּמִין מְשִׁיחֵנוּto redeem all who await
His final deliverance.לִפְדּוֹת מְחַכֵּי קֵץ יְשׁוּעָתוֹ13) Divine resurrection of the deadThe Almighty will
revive the deadמֵתִים יְחַיֶּה אֵלbecause of His

Korbanos (Sacrificial Offerings)

The Talmud (Maseches Menachos 110a) states: Rabbi Isaac asked, “Why does it say (Leviticus 6:18; 7:1) This is the law of the sin-offering, this is the law of the guilt-offering? To teach us that when one studies the law of the sin-offering, it is considered as though he had actually brought it on the Altar, and when one studies the law of the guilt-offering, it is as though he actually brought it on the Altar.”

Rather than merely recite the following portions, study them and attempt to learn about the laws and significance of the various sacrifices.

Exodus 30:17-21

And Adonoy spoke
to Moses to say:וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־משֶׁה לֵּאמֹרMake a

The following Scripture section describes the removal of the ashes which had accumulated on the Altar from the daily burnt-offering of the previous afternoon. This removal was performed prior to the daily morning burnt- offering. The passage below also describes the ritual of maintaining the wood pyres which were always burning on the Altar.

Leviticus 6:1

And Adonoy spoke
to Moses to say:וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־משֶׁה לֵּאמֹרCommand Aaron and
his sons to say,צַו אֶת־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶת־בָּנָיו לֵאמֹרthis is the law of

Korban Tamid (Daily Offering)

The Tamid-offerings, two daily offerings of one lamb at a time, were offered once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The former was the first public- offering brought on the Altar each day. And the latter terminated the day's offer- ings. These animals were purchased from the annual half-shekel gifts of the people and were offered on behalf of the entire Jewish People. Before reading this passage we offer a brief prayer.

Some do not say the following prayer on Sabbath and Yom Tov.

The following sequence of Mishnayos and the selection from Sifra “Rabbi Yishmael Says,” were inserted after the Scriptural selections dealing with daily- offerings in order to give every Jew the opportunity to study/recite daily, the minimum of selections from Scripture, Mishnah, and Talmud. Even though Sifra is not actually a Talmudic tractate, it is a Tanaitic expansion of Mishnah. (See Shulchan Aruch, OrachChaim 50:1).

The following are Mishnayos found in the fifth chapter of Maseches Zevachim.

Kaddish d'Rabanan

Kaddish is not the name generally given to this prayer in the Talmud. It is referred to there as “May His great Name . . .”, because the congregational response beginning with these words is the heart of this prayer. Only in one minor tractate, (Maseches Soferim 16, 19, and 21) is it referred to as Kaddish.

Composed primarily in Aramaic, the language spoken and understood by most Jews in the Second Temple period (See Tosafos to Maseches Berachos 3a), nevertheless, several Hebrew phrases, which were familiar even to the unschooled, were also incorporated in the prayer.

This particular form of Kaddish d'Rabanan, is so named because of the insertion of the paragraph which begins with the words “Upon Israel and upon our Sages, etc.” This Kaddish is recited following the study of Talmud or Midrash and invokes God's blessings on the Sages of Jewry, the transmitters of the Oral Torah.

Pesukei Dezimrah

The first 28 verses of this section are taken from 1 Chronicles 16:8-36, and the first 15 are almost identical with the first fifteen verses of Psalms 105. These prayers are mentioned in Maseches Soferim.

Mizmor Shir

Psalm 30, once used to inaugurate the Holy Temple, is used today to inau- gurate our daily prayers, for the synagogue is a “Holy Temple in miniature” and our prayers take the place of the sacrifices. It is both a prayer for success and a declaration of thanksgiving.

Psalm 19תהלים יט

In this psalm, David sings the praises of the Torah. The Kuzari notes that even though the skies “proclaim God's glory” and the Psalmist describes the sun so glowingly, David nevertheless concludes that in comparison to the Torah they are insignificant.

Psalm 33תהלים לג

In this psalm, David expresses the joy of the righteous in the Divine Providence of God in every aspect of the world and in the affairs of man. For the righteous see the “laws of nature” only as an external cloak, concealing the true supervision of God. They see through the laws of nature and perceive the Divine order and providence of the Creator.

Psalm 34תהלים לד

This psalm is based entirely on an event that took place in David's personal life as related in 1 Samuel 21:11-16. Forced to flee from Saul, he took refuge among the Philistines, where he was recognized as the slayer of Goliath. In order to escape death at the hands of his foes, David pretended to be an imbecile, and was sent away unharmed by King Avimelech.

Of
David,לְדָוִדWhen he

Psalm 90תהלים צ

According to our Sages, Psalms 90 through 101, were said by Moses. According to Radak, David actually found this psalm in its written form and knowing it to be the prayer of Moses, included it in his book of psalms. It speaks of the frailty of man and the brevity of his life and asks for God's compassion and favor despite his wrongdoings.

A prayer of Moses,

Psalm 136תהלים קלו

The Talmud ( Pesachim 118a) calls this psalm הַלֵל הַגָדוֹל, the great praise, because it describes how God, enthroned on high, sustains every living creature. The first twenty four verses call on us to thank God, the Master of the Universe, Who created it, redeemed us from Egypt, caused us to inherit the lands of Sichon and Og, and delivered us from our enemies. The twenty-fifth verse, נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל בָּשָׂר, He gives food to all flesh, is viewed as the climax of the entire psalm . Feeding every creature, day in and day out, is the greatest manifestation of God's provident kindliness. Though He rules in supreme splendor, God is close to the needs of every creature.

Baruch She'amar

This blessing introduces the Pesukei Dezimrah . It was mentioned by Rabbi Isaac Alfasi (Rif) over 800 years ago in his commentary to Maseches Berachos 32. The Taz (Orach Chaim 51:1) states that this prayer was instituted by the “Men of the Great Assembly.” The blessing contains eighty-seven words suggesting the numerical value of פָּז poz, refined gold.

Psalm 92

Psalm 93

Yehi Chevod

This prayer, mentioned in Maseches Sof'rim 17:11 is a collection of 18 verses from Psalms, Chronicles, and Proverbs, in which the Divine Name (הויהרֹּ) is mentioned 18 times. Great care should be taken to pronounce the “Name” with the utmost concentration, keeping in mind that He is the Supreme Master of all that exists.

Ashrei

Rav S.R. Hirsch writes that the six concluding chapters of the Book of Psalms are the most important gift of David's Divinely-inspired hymns that Israel trea- sures so greatly. These six psalms, 145-150, are an essential component of our daily prayers. Our Sages attach much significance to Psalm 145 in particular, and stated: “Whoever recites ‘A praise by David' three times a day is assuredly worthy of a share in the world to come” (Maseches Berachos 4b). When recited in prayer, this psalm is always introduced with two verses from other Psalms (84:5 and 144:15). These verses contain the word fortunate three times, an allusion to this psalm being recited three times a day. These verses are so closely identified with Psalm 145 that it is commonly referred to as Ashrei (Fortunate).

This Psalm acclaims God's loving care as experienced by each Jew in his own life.

In this Psalm, David imparts the knowledge to sustain and uphold the Jewish People, during their bitter exile. He tells them of their special and enduring relationship with God and of their role as permanent messengers of the word of God to all mankind.

Praise
God!הַלְלוּיָהּfor it is good to

were not informed.וּמִשְׁפָּטִים בַּל־יְדָעוּםPraise
God.הַלְלוּיָהּ

In this psalm, David sings of the moment when all the world will be imbued with the knowledge of God's all-embracing providence. All living creatures—from the infinite heights of heaven above (verses 1-7) down to the depths of the earth below (verses 7-12)—will join together in one great hymn of praise to their Creator, and acknowledge the uniqueness of Israel over all other nations.

The following selected verses from Psalms mark the close of the individual books of Psalms. Eitz Yoseif notes that these verses may constitute a sort of blessing marking the close of the Pesukei Dezimrah.

Blessed is
Adonoy forever,בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָםAmein

The custom of reciting the following additions to Pesukei Dezimrah is men- tioned as early as the Gaonic era, specifically by Rav Amram Gaon. These verses were incorporated into our daily prayers because they speak so eloquently of God's majesty, and of the Divine providence which is the source of the power, riches, might, and honor of all human beings.

The first four verses (1 Chronicles 29:10-13) relate David's blessing to God, when he presented the gold, silver, and jewels he amassed for the construction of the Holy Temple. It was a day of great rejoicing as, following David's example, the leaders and princes also presented generous gifts for the construction of the Temple.

The following until after ישתבח should be said standing.

And David

Shiras Hayam

In Temple times Shiras Hayam, the Song of the Sea, was sung by the Levites when the daily afternoon sacrifice was offered.87 After the destruction, the Jews of the Holy Land continued the tradition, reciting the Shira at the end of the PesukeiDezimrah. The custom spread to Italy and from there to other Jewish communities. This daily recital is mentioned by Rav Saadya Gaon but not as an obligatory part of the service. Rambam calls it a “custom.”⁸⁸Hilchos Tefillah 7:13. Subsequently adopted by all communities, reciting the Shira became an integral part of our daily prayers.

Some hold that the Shira should be chanted aloud while standing. It should be sung with joy as at the time of the Exodus. “Sheloh” writes that reciting the Shira atones for sin, so that if one wishes to repent a serious sin, he should recite the Shira every day with great fervor. The Zohar says, “If one recites this song with elation and joy, he will be worthy to sing it in the next world. He will also be worthy to sing it when he greets the Mashiach.”

On that day,
Adonoy deliveredוַיּוֹשַׁע יְהֹוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּאIsrael from the

Nishmas

The Mishna, ( Maseches Pesachim 117b) refers to the following prayer as בִּרְכַּת הַשִּׁיר , the blessing of song. Some commentaries suggest that it is so named because it forms a lengthy song that concludes with the blessing of יִשְׁתַּבַּח on page 000. On weekdays, when there is not sufficient time to concentrate adequately on our prayers, we merely recite the concluding blessing of יִשְׁתַּבַּח , but on Sabbaths and Festivals we recite the prayer in its entirety.

During the Ten Days of Penitence add:

In this Psalm, said during the Ten Days of Penitence, the Jewish soul sings of the Jewish spirit ascending from the depths of the deepest misery of all, the burden of sin and guilt.

A Song of
Ascents.שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹתOut of

The Half-Kaddish is recited by the Chazzan

Here, as elsewhere in the Liturgy, the Half-Kaddish marks the end of a distinct section of the prayers, in this case, the Pesukei Dezimrah.

It is called the Half-Kaddish, the final three verses of the complete Kaddish having been omitted.

It has become a universally-accepted custom to recite Barechu before proceeding to the blessings of Shema. Barechu, like Kaddish and Kedusha, cannot be recited unless a quorum—a minyan of ten adult males—is present. Barechu is also said by one who is called upon to read from the Torah.

The practice of saying Barechu is mentioned numerous times in the Talmud. It is even cited in the Mishna (Maseches Berachos 49b) in the names of Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael.

The Chazzan says:

Bless Adonoy
Who is blessed.בָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְּבֹרָךְ

The Congregation responds and the Chazzan repeats:

Blessed is Adonoy,
Who is blessedבָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה הַמְּבֹרָךְforever
and ever.לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

The two blessings יוֹצֵר אוֹר “He Who forms light” and אַהֲבָה רַבָּה “Great love,” are referred to as the blessings preceding Shema ( Maseches Berachos 11a). According to Rambam they were formulated by Ezra and his Court ( Laws of Shema 1:7).

You may not interrupt your prayers from this point on until after the Shemoneh Esrei . But you may answer “Amein” to the blessings of הָאֵל הַקָּדוֹשׁ “The Holy Powerful One” and שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִילָה “He Who heeds prayer;” say the thrice-repeated קָדוֹשׁ “Holy . . .” and בָּרוּךְ כְּבוֹד “Blessed is the glory . . .” of Kedusha; and answer Barechu. You may also answer אָמֵן יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא “Amein, May His great Name,” when you hear Kaddish.” You may also answer Amein after the blessings of יוֹצֵר הַמְּאוֹרוֹת , “Who forms the luminaries,” and הָבּוֹחֵר בְּעַמוֹ יִשׂרָאֵל בְּאַהֲבָה , “Who chooses His people Israel with love.”

For a more detailed exposition of these laws, see Metsudah Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Vol. I, pp. 172-176.

Recitation of Shema

The recitation of Shema was part of the daily worship in the Holy Temple, and our Sages ordained that it be recited in the synagogue service, providing it a central place in the morning and evening prayers of each Jew. Its importance may be judged from the fact that the very first Mishnah in the Oral Torah opens with the question, “From what time may the evening Shema be read?”

In reading Shema, bear in mind that you are performing a Scriptural commandment. All three paragraphs should be read with kavanah, concentrated intention, on what you are saying. The entire Shema should be recited in awe and reverence as it proclaims the existence and unity of God; the Jews' complete dedication to God and His commandments; the belief in Divine justice; the remembrance of the Exodus and the selection of the Jews as God's Chosen People. These concepts are the pillars of the Jewish faith. Whenever this sign (°) appears (e.g. בְּכָלּ־לְּבָבְ֒ךָ), it indicates that you should be careful to pronounce each word distinctly. In many instances, the last letter of the first word and first letter of the second word are the same, the words might be read as one, which is not the proper way to fulfill the mitzvah of Kerias Shema.

The following three words should be said when praying without aminyan:

(Almighty,
faithful King)אֵל מֶלֶךְ נֶאֱמָןHear,
Israel:שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵלAdonoy is
our God,יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּAdonoy
is One.יְהֹוָה אֶחָד

The following three lines are to be said silently:

your God:לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים֯I am Adonoy,
your God—אֲ֯נִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֯

You must be careful to connect the last words of Shema, ה' אֱלֹקֵיכֶם (Adonoy, your God), with the word אֱמֶת (is true) without pause or interruption so that these three words form one sentence, meaning “Adonoy your God is true” (Berachos 13a).

is
true—אֱמֶת

The Chazzan repeats:

Adonoy, your
God, is true.יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֯ אֱ֯מֶת

The following prayer, which culminates with גָאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל , Who redeemed Israel, constitutes the “Blessing after Shema” mentioned in the Talmud ( Maseches Berachos 11a). It is also mentioned in Maseches Tamid (32b) as part of the morning service in the Temple.

To be said by the Chazzan

Birkas Kohanim¹¹In Leviticus 9:22, we find that after he completed the Divine offering, Aaron lifted up his hands and blessed the people. In like manner, his descendants, the kohanim, uttered the priestly blessing after performing the Temple Service. In our days on the occasions when the kohanim recite the priestly blessings, they do so immediately after the “We are thankful” prayer which terminates the Avodah (Service) section of the Shemoneh Esrei. When kohanim do not say the blessings, the blessings are mentioned by the Chazzan in his repetition of the Shemoneh Esrei.—Avudrahamברכת כהניםOur God, and God of
our fathers, bless usאֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בָּרְכֵנוּwith the threefold
blessing of the Torah,בַבְּרָכָה הַמְּשֻׁלֶּשֶׁת בַּתּוֹרָהwritten by the hand
of Moses, Your servant,הַכְּתוּבָה עַל יְדֵי משֶׁה עַבְדֶּךָpronounced from
the mouth of Aaronהָאֲמוּרָה מִפִּי אַהֲרֹןand his sons, the
Your holy people;וּבָנָיו כֹּהֲנִים עַם קְדוֹשֶׁךָas it
is said:כָּאָמוּרAdonoy bless you

countenance upon youיָאֵר יְהֹוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָand be gracious

countenance toward youיִשָּׂא יְהֹוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָand grant
you peace.וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם

After Birkas Kohanim the congregation says:

Mighty One on high
who dwells in might,אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם שׁוֹכֵן בִּגְבוּרָהYou are peace and
Your Name is peace.אַתָּה שָׁלוֹם וְשִׁמְךָ שָׁלוֹםMay it be Your will

*(Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, continue here:)

If you forget to say this you need not go back and repeat it.

Biblical phrases applicable to one's name¹⁷According to Kitzur Shelah, it is of special merit to recite a Scriptural verse signifying your name before you conclude the Shemoneh Esrei. This verse (or verses) should be recited before you say יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן . may be found on pp. 000-000.

On Shabbos-Rosh Chodesh, on Yom Tov, on Shabbos-Chol HaMoed, and on Shabbos-Chanukah, say Hallel on page 000.

On a regular Shabbos the Chazzan recites the following Kaddish:

When Yom Tov occurs on weekdays see pages 000-000 for appropriate Psalm.

The Mourner's Kaddish (p. 000) is recited here.

The following Psalm (27) is recited at the conclusion of services, morning and evenings, from the first day of Elul, through Shemini Atzeres.

The Psalm voices our prayer that God will be our light on Rosh Hashana enabling us to repel the darkness of sin through true repentance, and that He will be our salvation on Yom Kippur, through His compassionate atonement of our sins.

By
David:לְדָוִדAdonoy is my light

The following prayer is taken from the Zohar (Parshas Vahakhail), the basic text of Kabbalah which was written by the Mishnaic sage Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. The Zohar states, “When the Torah is taken out to be read before the congregation, the heavenly gates of mercy are opened, and the Divine love is aroused; therefore one should say the following prayer.

The Chazzan takes the Torah and says the following verses, each of which is repeated by the congregation.

(The following blessings are recited by every person called to the Torah.)

The Kohein walks up to the Torah and says:

The Congregation responds and the Kohein repeats:

Blessed is Adonoy,

Birchas Hagomeil

Rav says, (Maseches Berachos 54) that four are obligated to offer thanks: persons who have safely completed a sea or land journey, or who have recovered from a serious illness, or have been released from captivity. One who is obligated to recite the blessing of thanksgiving should do so at the Torah-scroll, after the blessing following the Torah reading is said.

Blessed are
You, Adonoyבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King
of the Universe,אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָםWho bestows goodness
upon the guilty,הַגּוֹמֵל לְחַיָּבִים טוֹבוֹתWho has bestowed
every goodness upon me.שֶׁגְּמָלַנִי כָּל טוֹב

The congregation responds:

He Who has bestowed
goodness upon you,מִי שֶׁגְּמָלְךָ טוֹבmay He bestow every
goodness upon you,הוּא יִגְמָלְךָ כָּל טוֹב
forever.סֶלָהBlessing by the father of a Bar Mitzvah

The following blessing is said by the father of a Bar Mitzvah, after the lad has been called to the Torah and has recited the blessing following the reading:

Blessed are
You, Adonoyבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King
of the Universe,אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָםWho has released me
from the punishmentשֶׁפְּטָרַנִי מֵעֹנֶשׁof this
[boy].שֶׁל זֶה

When the reading of the Torah is concluded, the Half Kaddish is recited by the Reader. The Maftir is read and then the Torah is raised so that the congregation can see the script, and the congregation exclaims:

This is the Torah
which Moses placedוְזֹאת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר שָׂם משֶׁהbefore the

Berachos for the Haftarah

The Haftarah, a selected reading from the Prophets, usually contains some reference to the text or theme of the Sidrah, the Torah Reading, which precedes it. According to Avudraham, the recitation of the Haftarah, was instituted during the period of persecution preceding the revolt of the Maccabees, when the actual Torah reading was prohibited. Readings from the Prophets were then substituted in order to review some of the teachings contained in the Torah itself. The word הַפְטָרָה is derived from the root פטר , which means to discharge or conclude. By reading the Haftarah, we conclude the reading of the Torah.

Berachah recited before the reading of the Haftarah:

Blessed are
You, Adonoyבָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King
of the Universe,אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָםWho chose
good prophets,אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בִּנְבִיאִים טוֹבִיםand was pleased

Prayer for the Government

The custom to pray for the welfare of the government is mentioned in Kol Bo and Avudraham. The latter writes, “After the reading of the Torah, it is customary to bless the king and pray to God that he be given might and power over his enemies. This prayer is based on Jeremiah 29:7, “Seek the peace of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to Adonoy in its behalf; for in its peace, you will have peace.” We also find reference to such prayer in the Mishna, (Maseches Avos 3:2), “Rabbi Chanina, Deputy Kohein Gadol, says: Pray for the welfare of the government, because if people had no fear of it, they would swallow each other alive.”

Blessings of the New Month

The following prayer יְהִי רָצוֹן , composed by Rav, head of the Babylonian yeshiva at Sura, is mentioned in the Talmud, ( Maseches Berachos 16b), but not as a prayer specifically ordained for blessing the new month. It was actually a daily prayer that Rav recited each day after the regular service.

The יְהִי רָצוֹן was adapted by Ashkenazi Jews as a prayer for the coming of the new month by adding the words: שֶׁתְּחַדֵשׁ עָלֵינוּ אֶת הַחוֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה לְטוֹבָה וְלִבְרָכָה but Sephardic Jews omit the entire prayer as it is not mentioned either by Rambam or Avudraham.

May it be

God of our fathers,יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּto renew this

The following prayer, is the actual blessing of the month. The Chazzan takes the Torah in his hands and declares:

Av Horachamim

According to Shaar Ephraim, this prayer was composed during the persecutions of 1075 and 1095 when thousands of Jews were killed in sanctification of God's Name.

אַב הָרַחֲמִים is said every Shabbos except: when the new moon is blessed, on Rosh Chodesh, on Yom Tov, on Chanukah or Purim, when there is a bridegroom, or when one whose son is to be circumcised on that day is present in the congrega- tion. Between Pesach and Shavuous, אַב הָרַחֲמִים is said in many congregations even on the Shabossos when the new month is blessed.

The Chazzan takes the Torah and says:

They will praise
the Name of Adonoy❖יְהַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָהfor His Name
alone is exalted.כִּי־נִשְׂגָּב שְׁמוֹ לְבַדּוֹ

The congregation then says:

When Yom Tov occurs on the weekdays continue on page 000.

On Shabbos say:

His people with peace.יְהֹוָה יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם

When Yom Tov occurs on a weekday, continue:

(When the Chazzan repeats the Shemoneh Esrei and says, “Who returns His Divine Presence to Zion”, the congregation responds by saying “Amein” and then the following prayer.)

On Chanukah the following prayer is added. If you omitted it, see page 000.

(Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, add:

Inscribe for
a good lifeוּכְתֹב לְחַיִּים טוֹבִיםall the children
of Your covenant.)כָּל בְּנֵי בְרִיתֶךָ

If you forget to say this, you need not go back and repeat it. If you became aware of the omission before concluding the blessing, you can say it at that time.

To be said by the Chazzan

After Birkas Kohanim the congregation says:

Mighty One on high
who dwells in might,אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם שׁוֹכֵן בִּגְבוּרָהYou are peace and
Your Name is peace.אַתָּה שָׁלוֹם וְשִׁמְךָ שָׁלוֹםMay it be Your will

If you forget to say this you need not go back and repeat it.

Hymn of Glory

This closing hymn is called “Hymn of Glory” because it sings the praises and great glory of God. According to some scholars, the hymn was composed by Rabbi Samuel ben Kolonimus, the father of Rabbi Judah of Regensburg, known as Rabbi Yehudah ha-Chassid, a saint and mystic. Others say that Rabbi Yehudah himself wrote it.

Mincha Service for Shabbos and Yom Tov

Korbanos (Sacrificial Offerings)

Rather than merely recite the following portions, study them and attempt to learn about the laws and significance of the various sacrifices.

Exodus 30:17-21

Korban Tamid (Daily Offering)

The Tamid-offerings, two daily offerings of one lamb at a time, were offered once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The former was the first public- offering brought on the Altar each day. And the latter terminated the day's offerings. These animals were purchased from the annual half-shekel gifts of the people and were offered on behalf of the entire Jewish People. Before reading this passage we offer a brief prayer.

Some do not say the following prayer on Sabbath and Yom Tov.

May it be

God of our fathers,יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּto have

The Chazzan says:

Declare the greatness
of Adonoy, with me.❖גַּדְּלוּ לַיהֹוָה אִתִּיand let us exalt
His Name together.וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּו

The Congregation responds:

Mincha Torah readings start on page 000.

When the Torah is unrolled, the Reader says:

May His sovereignty
be revealed and visibleוְתִגָּלֶה וְתֵרָאֶה מַלְכוּתוֹto us,

to Adonoy, Your God,וְאַתֶּם הַדְּבֵקִים בַּיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶםare all
alive today.חַיִּים כֻּלְּכֶם הַיּוֹם

The Kohein walks up to the Torah and says:

Blessed Adonoy,
Who is blessedבָּרְכוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה הַמְּבֹרָךְ

The Congregation responds and the Kohein repeats:

Blessed is Adonoy,
Who is blessed,בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה הַמְּבֹרָךְforever
and ever.לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

The Kohein says:

After the Torah is read, the Kohein says:

*(The above blessings are recited by every person called to the Torah.)

When the reading of the Torah is concluded, the Half Kaddish is recited by the Reader. The Torah is then raised so that the congregation can see the script, and the congregation exclaims:

This is the Torah
which Moses placedוְזֹאת הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר שָׂם משֶׁהbefore the
children of Israel.לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵלIt is a

Some recite the following two Psalms:

Psalm 111תהלים קיא

This Psalm describes God's tender concern and compassion for all His crea- tures in general and for those who fear Him in particular. The last half of the Psalm emphasizes the distinguished role of Israel among all other nations as the people of His covenant, and the recipients of His Divine Law.

The Chazzan takes the Torah and says:

They will praise
the Name of Adonoyיְהַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָהfor His Name
alone is exalted.כִּי־נִשְׂגָּב שְׁמוֹ לְבַדּוֹ

The congregation then says:

His majesty is over
the earth and the skies.הוֹדוֹ עַל־אֶרֶץ וְשָׁמָיִםHe will raise the
might of His people,וַיָּרֶם קֶרֶן לְעַמּוֹ[which is] praise

As the Torah is returned to the Ark the following is said:

And when it
rested, he would say:וּבְנֻחֹה יֹאמַרReturn,

thousands of Israel.רִבְבוֹת אַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵלArise, Adonoy unto

Psalm 120תהלים קכ

This Psalm deals with the evils of slander and deceit. David pleads with God to save him from those who use speech, not to express the truth, but to conceal it.

Psalm 121תהלים קכא

Without complete trust in God's deliverance, spiritual ascent is virtually im- possible. Thus David proclaims Israel's total faith in God.

We must never forget Jerusalem, our spiritual home, and we must constantly recall and cherish the memories of the House of God.

In this Psalm we pray for God's compassion, declaring that our eyes are lifted to him as our sole source of help.

Psalm 124תהלים קכד

Israel openly declares that it owes its survival through centuries of suffering to God and to God alone, and that the history of its exile has been a demonstra- tion of God's rule and Presence on earth.

Psalm 125תהלים קכה

This Psalm expounds the theme of our trust in God. It proclaims that through God's Divine protection, which visibly accompanied Israel at all times, we have found security.

A Song of
Ascents.שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹתThose who

Psalm 127תהלים קכז

In this Psalm David instructs Solomon, his son, on the virtues of proper training for children. The arrow shot from a strong hand bears within itself the strength of the bowman long after it has left his hand, and it follows unswervingly the direction given by the hand of the mighty man. So, too, children raised by dedicated parents will remain unwaveringly and unhesitat- ingly true to the goal set for them by the guiding hands of parents, long after they have left the immediate sphere of that parental guidance.

Psalm 129תהלים קכט

This Psalm describes the fleeting pleasures, devoid of blessing or permanence, of those who hate Zion and who fight against the Torah which comes forth from Zion, and against Israel who are the standard-bearers of its teachings.

Psalm 130תהלים קל

In this Psalm the Jewish soul sings at the way the Jewish spirit ascends from the depths of the deepest misery of all, the burden of sin and guilt. “For with You is forgiveness, in order that You be feared,” for through repentance forgiveness is achieved, and thus it is a Song of Ascent.

The following prayer was originally a compilation of eighteen verses instituted during the Gaonic era as a substitute for the Shemoneh Esrei. According to Avudraham, the Shemoneh Esrei was omitted because of decrees issued against the Jews that banned them from participating in the Evening Service. These eighteen verses, adopted in place of the Shemoneh Esrei, have remained a part of the Maariv service. Some Halachic commentaries maintain that these verses should not be included in Maariv, because they constitute an interruption between the final blessing after Shema and the Shemoneh Esrei.

Havdalah

The Havdalah service, with which we conclude the observance of Shabbos was ordained by the Men of the Great Assembly who flourished through the beginning of the Second Temple period.

You hold the wine cup in your right hand until after the blessing on the wine, then transfer the cup to your left hand and hold the spice box in your right for the blessing on the spices. Then set the spice box aside, return the wine cup to your right hand, and pronounce the blessing on the fire. After the blessing, set the wine cup down and look at your fingernails in the light of the candles. Afterwards take the wine cup in your right hand until you complete Havdalah.

Behold! The Almighty
is my deliverance—הִנֵּה אֵל יְשׁוּעָתִיI will trust in Him
and will not fear;אֶבְטַח וְלֹא אֶפְחָדfor the strength
and retribution of Godכִּי עָזִּי וְזִמְרָת יָהּAdonoy was the cause

Over the spices:⁸According to the commentators, the use of fragrant spices during the Havdalah service, is to cheer the soul which is saddened at the departure of Shabbos, and the departure of the Neshamah Yesairoh, the special soul that each Jew receives in honor of Shabbos.

Blessed are

Hallel

Hallel, the name especially applied to Psalms 113-118, is mentioned in the Talmud (Pesachim 117a), when Rabbi Judah quoted Samuel as saying “Who recited this Hallel? (Who ordained that this Hallel be read?) The prophets ordained that Israel should recite Hallel when they are redeemed from misfortune as an expression of gratitude for their redemption.”

In time, the Rabbis made the reading of Hallel obligatory on the major festivals such as Pesach, Shavuos, and Sukkos. Since Maccabean times, Chanukah is like- wise marked by the reading of Hallel. On Purim the reading of the Scroll of Esther takes the place of Hallel. (Maseches Megillah 14a)

The reading of Hallel on Rosh Chodesh is not rabbinically ordained, but a minhag, a custom which began with the Jews of Babylon in the second century, and has been accepted by all Israel as an obligatory Service. Because it is a minor festival, the Hallel is shortened on Rosh Chodesh by omitting half of Psalms 115 and 116. On the last six days of Pesach also, only “half”-Hallel is recited to show that our joy is diminished because of the drowning of the Egyptians.

Hallel is omitted in a house of mourning (during the week of shiv'ah) on Rosh Chodesh and Chanukah.

During the repetion of the Shemoneh Esreh, the Kohanim advance to the Ark and the entire congregation says וְתֵעָרֵב לְפָנֶיךָ , “May our prayer,” page 000.

At the words, We are thankful, bend forward; at Adonoy return to an upright position.

Even though the kohanim are commanded to bless Israel every day (according to some authorities) nevertheless, the custom outside the Holy Land is that koha- nim bless the people only during the Musaf Service of the Festivals, and the High Holidays. One reason given is that the Priestly Blessings are pronounced only in a festive atmosphere. Thus on weekdays when people are troubled with the difficul- ties of earning a livelihood, and even on the Sabbath when people are disturbed by thoughts of their economic plight, the blessings are not pronounced.

During the Musaf Service of the Festivals, however, which precedes the festive meal of the holiday, a joyous atmosphere does prevail and the Priestly Blessing is pronounced.

After the Chazzan's recital of ‘ רְצֵה , be pleased,' the following prayer is recited by the Congregation and kohanim, and repeated by the Chazzan:

May our prayer be
sweet before You❖וְתֵעָרֵב לְפָנֶיךָ עֲתִירָתֵנוּas a burnt-offering
and as a sacrifice.כְּעוֹלָה וּכְקָרְבָּןPlease, Merciful One,

days of old,כִּימֵי עוֹלָםand in
earlier years.וּכְשָׁנִים קַדְמוֹנִיּוֹת

The Chazzan concludes:

Blessed are
You, Adonoy,בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהYou alone, in
reverence do we serve.שֶׁאוֹתְךָ לְבַדְּךָ בְּיִרְאָה נַעֲבוֹד

The congregation recites Modim d'Rabbanan, on page 000.

The following prayer is said silently by the Kohanim.

May it be
Your willיְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָAdonoy, our God and
the God of our fathers,יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּthat this

in it neitherוְלֹא יִהְיֶה בָּהּstumbling
nor iniquityשׁוּם מִכְשׁוֹל וְעָוֹןfrom now,
forever.מֵעַתָּה וְעַד עוֹלָם

The Chazzan then says:

Kohanimכֹּהֲנִים

The Congregation responds:

Your holy people,
as it is said.עַם קְדוֹשֶׁךָ כָּאָמוּר

Facing the Ark, the Kohanim raise their hands and recite the following blessing until וְצִוָנוּ , You have commanded us; they then turn to face the Congregation and complete the blessing:

Blessed are
You, Adonoy,בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָהour God, King
of the universe,אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָםWho

people, Israel,לְבָרֵךְ אֶת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵלwith
love.בְּאַהֲבָה

(The Congregation but not the Chazzan answer:

Amen)אָמֵן

The Chazzan chants each word of the Bircas Kohanim and the Kohanim pronounce it after Him. The Congregation should concentrate on their words, but not repeat them.

May [He]

While the kohanim sing an extended chant before saying וְיִשְׁמְרֶֽךָ , the congregation says the following prayer in an undertone. This prayer is not said on the Sabbath.

This special prayer for dew is recited on the first day of Passover, during the Musaf Service. (In some congregations it is recited before Musaf.) The Ark is opened and the Chazzan recites the Musaf Shemoneh Esrei from the beginning until וּמוֹשִׁיעַ וּמָגֵן (and Deliverer and Shield).

Counting the Omer

The Omer is counted from the second night of Passover until the night before Shavuos. The counting of forty-nine days (seven weeks) between the Festival of Passover and Shavuos (the Feast of Weeks), connects the exodus from Egypt with the festival of the giving of the Torah. Just as one who awaits a most intimate friend on a certain day counts the days in eager anticipation of his arrival, so do we count the days from our liberation till the day we receive the Torah, which is the culmination and fulfillment of our freedom.

It is proper to count the Omer at the beginning of the night, usually after the Maariv Service, and the Omer should be counted while standing.

I am prepared and
ready to performהִנְנִי מוּכָן וּמְזֻמָּן לְקַיֵּםthe affirmative command
to count the Omer,מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה שֶׁל סְפִירַת הָעֹמֶרas is written
in the Torah:כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בַּתּוֹרָה“And you shall
