B rukhim Haba im! Welcome. We are glad you have joined us for services. The prayer book we use on Shabbat, festivals and throughout the week is called a siddur, which means order. Composed of biblical, rabbinic, medieval and modern Hebrew poetry, the siddur is not always easy to use. This booklet, therefore, has been prepared as a supplement to our prayer book, Siddur Sim Shalom. Its outlines and explanations will are intended to provide you greater understanding and appreciation of the beauty of Jewish prayer. Principally, this is a booklet of transliterations. We hope that this tool enables you to more actively participate in our services. Our goal is to make prayer more meaningful and spiritual. Sha ar LaSiddur is only the first step. It is meant as a companion to the siddur. Therefore, some prayers already transliterated in Siddur Sim Shalom do not appear here. Ultimately, there is no substitute for learning Hebrew and acquiring davening (prayer) skills. For additional suggestions of resources and study opportunities, please contact us. We wish to acknowledge and thank the many congregants who proofed early versions of this booklet: Dr. Jim Bukstein, Barry Davis, Wendy Lulavy, Deb Mallin, Beth Silverstein, Bill and Sharon Torodor. Thank you to the Minneapolis Jewish Day School for the use of the prayer choreography icons from their siddur, With All Your Heart. Finally, we wish to thank Adath Jeshurun Congregation, Minnetonka, Minnesota and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism for use of their Shabbat morning guides, which served as models for us. A special thank you to Lee Prohofsky of Lee Prohofsky Photography for his creative photography of the sculpture Jacob s Dream, featured on the cover of this book. Thank you to Roberta Weber of RWeber Design for the creative design and layout of this publication. In the Torah we read of Jacob s encounter with God at a place he calls Beit El. Jacob describes this place of meeting as a gate to heaven, sha ar hashamayim. May this Sha ar LaSiddur ( gateway to the siddur ) open us to the beauty of Jewish prayer. And by entering it, may our worship become more inspired, drawing us closer to each other, to our tradition and to God. B Shalom, Alexander Davis Rabbi Neil Newman Cantor Robert Kahn Audrey Abrams Kassel Abelson Rabbi Associate Cantor Rabbi

PRONUNCIATION AND TRANSLITERATION KEY The transliteration in this booklet has been standardized for ease of use. The pronunciation follows the Sephardi/Israeli usage. Hebrew words are generally accented on the final syllable. When the accent falls on the next-to-last syllable (the exception), the syllable will be marked in bold to assist you with accurate pronunciation. Note also that transliterations of prayer texts are presented without repetition according to specific melodies; song texts in the Hava Nashira section, however, do include repetitions following the most familiar melodies. Note: three dots [ ] indicates that davening continues individually. The following transliteration conventions were followed: a as in father o as in Ozone e as in Education u as in rhubarb ei as in Asymmetric as in It (sh va) i as in EAting kh for the gutteral letter as in BaruKH h for the guttural letter also as in Hutzpah Hebrew Equivalents l m n s almost silent/guttural p f tz k r sh s t silent b v g d h v z h t y k kh 2

WELCOME TO BETH EL SYNAGOGUE Beth El, which means House of God, is a Conservative congregation. Founded in 1924, today it numbers 1,300 member families. Our Spiegel Sanctuary, like all Jewish houses of worship, faces toward Jerusalem. It was built in 1970 to represent the Ohel Mo ed (Tent of Meeting) that accompanied the Children of Israel throughout their desert wanderings. Its rafters are designed to lead your attention up toward the heaven and its natural oak walls are meant to create a feeling of warmth and intimacy. The stained glass window depicts the Israelites escaping Egyptian slavery and heading for Mt. Sinai. This window also incorporates the vision of the prophet Isaiah, who said: A day will come when all shall beat their swords into plowshares, their spears into pruning knives; when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. Just below the stained-glass window is the ner tamid (eternal light), which symbolizes God s eternal presence. The ner tamid is in the shape of the world. It in turn rests above three Hebrew words, which correspond to the Talmudic saying that the world rests on Emet (Truth), Din (Justice) and Shalom (Peace). On the left side of the bima (pulpit) is a sculptured menorah whose stem spells out the Hebrew words Beit El (House of God). On the right side of the bima is a sculptured burning bush with the Hebrew quotation: The bush was not consumed, symbolizing over 3,500 years of Jewish living. Like the Spiegel Sanctuary, the Fiterman Chapel offers a warm, intimate space for communal worship. The chapel contains twelve windows symbolizing the twelve tribes of biblical Israel. Originally hung in the first Beth El building on Minneapolis old north side, these windows depict symbols of Jewish holidays. On the right side of the bima, above the hazan s (cantor s) stand, is a menorah. Written to the left of the bima are the opening words of each of the Ten Commandments. 3

CONSERVATIVE JUDAISM Beth El Synagogue - its rabbis, cantors, siddur, humash, etc. - are all products of and associated with Conservative Judaism. We are a member of the umbrella organization of North American Conservative synagogues called United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. We are affiliated with the world-wide organization of Conservative Judaism called Masorti, with the network of Ramah summer camps and with the academic centers of the movement: the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (New York City), the University of Judaism (Los Angeles) and the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem). Despite the fact that God s essence is ultimately unknowable and that human language is limited, Judaism has developed a rich and highly structured liturgy. Rabbi Reuven Hammer, one of the movement s great teachers, writes that for the Conservative Jew, prayer is our way of expressing ourselves to God and of helping us lift ourselves above the mundane into a world of greater holiness. It is first and foremost praise and thanksgiving, making us aware of the wonder of the world in which we live and of the existence of a Divinity greater than ourselves. It is also petition, but not petition in which we expect God to interfere with the natural process of the world in order to bring about what we want. Petition expresses our deepest longings and feelings and helps us to change ourselves and dedicate ourselves to the causes for which we pray. How God reacts to this prayer is something beyond our ability to comprehend. Prayer, as Heschel has demonstrated, is poetry, not prose. It is neither science nor magic and must be separated from superstition. For Conservative Jews, prayer is just one aspect of Judaism. A full Jewish life is lived daily in family and community through observance of sacred laws and traditions. As Hammer explains: Judaism is based upon the great insights into God s ways and God s desires for human beings that are housed in the treasured books of our people: first and foremost the Bible, and then all the extensions of them sometimes called the Oral Torah. The ideals in these books have been translated into ways of life halakha - and into specific actions - mitzvoth - intended to help us reach a higher level of moral and spiritual life. God, halakha, history, ethics- all are essential components of any siddur. Their emphasis and combination is what makes Siddur Sim Shalom uniquely Conservative and accepted as the standard prayer book for English-speaking Conservative congregations. Further information on Conservative Judaism is available by speaking with the clergy, exploring Beth El s library or looking on-line. 4

A WORD ABOUT JEWISH PRAYER Three times a day, 365 days a year, Jews gather for prayer. The shaharit (morning) service provides a chance to begin the day with words of thanksgiving and praise. Minha (the afternoon service) asks us to stop midday and examine our lives: are we striving for truth, justice and peace? At night, ma ariv (the evening service) offers a quiet moment of reflection to review the day. For a list of Beth El s daily service times, see the Hakol or the Shofar. Two books are used during a typical Shabbat or holiday shaharit service, and both are found in the pews in front of you. One book is a siddur (prayer book) titled Siddur Sim Shalom; the other is the Conservative Movement s humash (The Five Books of Moses) called Etz Hayim (Tree of Life). Both texts, which are read from right to left, contain English translations of the Hebrew. These two books reflect the essence of what Jewish prayer can and should be. Jewish prayer is a dialogue in which we speak to God and God speaks to us. The siddur helps us direct our thoughts and prayers to God. The humash, on the other hand, helps us listen for God s voice which is embedded in the wisdom of our sacred writings and holy Sages. To truly enter the world of prayer, we must open ourselves up - open our hearts and voices to expressing to God what we feel inside; and we must open our eyes, ears and minds to hearing God speak to us. On most Shabbatot and festivals, our worship services are conducted by our rabbis (teachers) and by our hazanim (cantors). The rabbis offer interpretations and explanations of the t fillot (prayers) and Torah reading, deliver the d var Torah lesson (Torah lesson) and make announcements. Acting as representatives of the community in offering prayers, our hazanim invite the congregation to join in singing most of the service while chanting some parts alone. We take pride in having many congregants participate in leading services by chanting Torah or serving as sh lihei tzibbur (service leaders). 5

An Overview of Services A typical Friday evening service has two primary parts: 1. Kabbalat Shabbat is a collection of Psalms and poems that help us leave the weekday behind and enter the spirit of Shabbat. 2. Ma ariv, the evening service, contains the sh ma and its surrounding blessings, a private meditation known as the amidah ( standing prayer ) and a series of concluding prayers. A typical Shabbat morning service has four primary sections: 1. Birkhot HaShahar and P sukei D zimra ( morning blessings and verses of song ) are a collection of Psalms and prayers that help us enter the mood of prayer. 2. Shaharit, the morning service, follows the same thematic format as the ma ariv service (see number 2 above). Its two primary elements are: 1) the sh ma and its blessings and 2) the amidah. 3. During the Torah service, a section (parasha) of the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) is chanted. It is followed by the Haftara, a reading from the Prophets that is thematically related to the Torah reading. The Torah scrolls are removed from and returned to the aron hakodesh (the holy ark) with songs and prayers. 4. The Musaf service highlights the uniqueness of Shabbat and holidays by incorporating an additional amida into the morning service (musaf literally means additional ). Its recitation connects us to the worship of our ancestors 2,000 years ago. At the conclusion of a morning service, kiddush and motzi (prayers made over wine and bread) are recited. As we move to the Gruman Social Hall to enjoy some sweets and sometimes a light lunch, we wish each other a shabbat shalom (a peaceful Sabbath) or hag samei ah (happy holiday). Please join us. 6

The Building Blocks of Jewish Prayer There are two primary components of every ma ariv (evening) and shaharit (morning) service: the sh ma and the amida. At its most basic, the sh ma is a prayer directed to the community that speaks about God. Along with its surrounding blessings, it tells us who God is and how God acts in the world. The amida, on the other hand, is a prayer in which we speak to God and see ourselves as standing in God s presence. Each prayer has its own structure and choreography that reflect its unique meaning. The Sh ma and its Blessings can be outlined as follows: Bar khu- Call to prayer 1. Yotzer Or: Creation 2. Ahava: Revelation Sh ma: A. Sh ma & V ahavta: Adonai is One. B. V haya Im Shamo a: We serve God by observing mitzvot. C. Vayomer: Mitzvot lead us to holiness. 3. G ula: Redemption 4. Hashkiveinu: Peace (evenings only) The sh ma consists of three paragraphs (letters A, B, C, above), which are a communal expression of God s oneness and which outline our obligation to love and serve God. These three paragraphs are direct quotations from the Torah. The blessings surrounding the sh ma (numbers 1-4) emphasize: God as creator of the universe; God s love for the people Israel as demonstrated through the giving of Torah; God s redemption of Israel from Egyptian slavery and our hope for ultimate redemption in the messianic era. This entire prayer unit, known as sh ma uvirkhoteha (the sh ma and its blessings), is introduced with the bar khu, an invitiation to gather together for prayer. 7

The amida can be outlined as follows: Sh vahot (Praise) 1. Avot: recalling our ancestors 2. G vurot: describing God's powers 3. K dusha: proclaiming God's holiness K dushat Hayom (Sanctification of the Day) 4. God sanctifies Shabbat and/or Yom Tov Hoda ot (Thanksgiving) 5. Avoda: asking for our prayer to be accepted 6. Hoda a: prayer of thanksgiving 7. Shalom: prayer for peace The amida is a silent meditation that has three primary parts. The three b rakhot at the beginning (numbers 1-3) and at the end (numbers 5-7) of the amida are identical each time the prayer is recited throughout the day, week and year. The middle section (number 4), however, varies. On a weekday, the middle section consists of 13 requests (bakashot) for such things as health, prosperity and justice. On Shabbat and holidays, these 13 requests are replaced by one b rakha that praises God for sanctifying the Sabbath or Festival. From Shabbat to Shabbat, our t fillot (prayers) are largely the same. The service itself is fixed (in Hebrew, keva): services happen at a set time of day, the structure and the words themselves are mostly unchanging. We, on the other hand, are different week to week. World events and interactions with friends and family continually shape and reshape who we are. When we approach our davening (worship) with kavanah (focus, concentration), the words of the siddur, though fixed, can appear renewed and refreshed. For a fuller examination of Jewish prayer, see the introduction to Siddur Sim Shalom, Or Hadash: A Commentary on Siddur Sim Shalom, or choose a book on the book cart, which is located in the Ring Lobby. For a glossary of important Hebrew words and phrases, see pages 403-404 in Siddur Sim Shalom. 8

Music Traditions Synagogue music is central to making prayer meaningful. Recitation without music is dry and monotonous. Chanting our t fillot (prayers) adds color and interest and often a fresh interpretation of the text. The music at Beth El generally follows the traditions of Ashkenazi Jewry (Jews from Eastern Europe). Ashkenazi Synagogue music can be grouped into four categories: 1. cantillation - the chanting of biblical text: Torah (first Five Books), Haftara (the Prophets) and M gillot (from the Writings); 2. MiSinai Tunes - holiday melodies developed from 11th to 14th century Western Europe which have since become universally accepted; 3. nusah hat filla - prayer modes devised in Eastern Europe, standardized by the end of the 18th century; and 4. melodies, niggunim and choral arrangements - composed in recent centuries by individuals in their respective Jewish communities; melodies may vary even from congregation to congregation within a given community. Synagogue music that has become accepted over time roots us in our past. At the same time, because all music is a reflection of the time and place it is composed, the repertoire of synagogue music continues to grow and expand. Newer tunes employed at Beth El tie us to the present and invite us to examine our liturgy with fresh eyes and ears. As you participate in the chants and melodies of our service, we hope you will come to feel a measure of the meaning and spirituality engendered by centuries of singing and davening. For additional background on Jewish synagogue music, refer to Heritage of Music by Judith Kaplan Eisenstein, Concise Encylopedia of Jewish Music by Macy Nulman and Off the Willows by Avraham Soltes. 9

RITUALS, REJOICING AND RESPECT Traditional Practices Head Covering: In keeping with tradition, all men are asked to keep their heads covered in the synagogue. This serves as a sign of reverence and awareness of being in God s presence. Kippot (head coverings) or yarmulkes (Yiddish) are provided for your use if you do not have your own. They are located at the entrances of the chapel and main sanctuary. Women are invited to wear a head covering and often do so when ascending the bima for an honor. Prayer Shawl: A tallit (prayer shawl) is worn by Jewish men and some Jewish women. Following the biblical commandment to make tzitzit (knotted fringes) on the corners of garments, the tallit and its tzitzit represent God s protecting shelter and the 613 mitzvot (commandments) incumbent on Jewish adults. Standing: During certain prayers, Jews stand, bow and sometimes sway back and forth (shukkel). We stand out of respect for the Torah or during prayers that ask us to imagine ourselves speaking directly to God. When the congregation as a whole rises, we ask all who are able to rise. During the individual mourner s kaddish, only mourners are required to stand. Bowing serves as a sign of humility and reverence. Congregational singing, the cadence of the Hebrew poetry, becoming enwrapped in the power and beauty of the prayers may all move a davener (worshipper) to sway back and forth. S mahot (Celebrations) Bar and Bat Mitzvah: On most Shabbatot, we are privileged to celebrate a bar or bat mitzvah. Literally, son/daughter of the commandment, this life cycle celebration represents an initiation into the responsibilities and privileges of Jewish adulthood. It offers an opportunity for the bar or bat mitzvah to lead services, chant Torah and Haftara and to give an interpretation of the Torah reading. In addition, the rabbis and the child s parent(s) use this occasion to share words of wisdom with the bar or bat mitzvah. 10

Weddings: Upcoming weddings are celebrated with an aufruf. Literally, going up, an aufruf is an opportunity for a bride and groom to demonstrate their commitment to establishing a Jewish home by going up to the Torah to recite the traditional blessings. A Jewish wedding is an occasion for the Jewish community to rejoice. We do so by showering the couple with sweets (thrown softly!), singing and offering a special blessing. Other S mahot: Occasionally, we celebrate a birth, a wedding anniversary or an upcoming trip to Israel during services. Each celebration is accompanied by appropriate blessings and simha songs (words for which can be found beginning on page 61). Derekh Eretz (Proper Conduct) Derekh Eretz (literally, the way of the land ) refers to the correct and respectful way of being and behaving. By practicing derekh eretz in synagogue, school, home, workplace, etc., we strive to create a society built on fundamental Jewish values of kindness, courtesy and modesty. Shabbat and holidays are meant to be holy days, days set apart from the rest of the week. To create an atmosphere of k dusha (sanctity) and in observance of the mitzvot of Shabbat and Jewish holidays, we ask you to refrain from activities that are prohibited on Shabbat or that detract from the day s special nature. Such activities include: writing, smoking, gum chewing, taking photographs and using cell phones or pagers anywhere in the building before, during and after services. Frequent entrances and exits from the sanctuary or chapel can distract others from their concentration on prayer, as can excessive conversation during the services. We ask you, therefore, to help us create a prayerful mood by limiting these behaviors and by participating fully in our services. Respectful dress is an act of derekh eretz and is required in the sanctuary. This means wearing clothing that is appropriately modest and refraining from wearing excessively casual clothing. 11

Kabbalat Shabbat SIM SHALOM: pages 14-24 An Outline of Kabbalat Shabbat Psalms 95-99, 29 Introductory Psalms L kha Dodi Let Us Greet the Sabbath Bride Psalms 92, 93 Special Psalms for Shabbat Mourner s Kaddish Kabbalat Shabbat begins with a series of psalms that help us transition from office and home to shul, from weekday to Shabbat, from work to rest. These six psalms, which correspond to the six days of Creation, help us reflect on God as Creator of the natural world. Turning away from the hectic world of work, errands and activities, we strive to hear in the silence of Shabbat the sound of rivers clapping in exultation, mountains rejoicing in song (Psalm 98) in praise of God s creation. L kha Dodi is the climax of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. In it, we picture Shabbat as a bride and we rejoice as she enters the congregation.

Ma ariv SIM SHALOM: pages 28-54 An Outline of the Ma ariv Service Bar khu - Call to Prayer Sh ma and its Blessings Hatzi Kaddish Amida Kaddish Shalem Aleinu Mourner s Kaddish Yigdal - concluding song The ma ariv (evening) service contains two primary elements: 1) the sh ma and its surrounding blessings and 2) the amidah. The sh ma consists of three paragraphs, each from a different passage in the Torah. These three paragraphs are the closest things Jews have to a creed. By reciting them, we affirm our belief in God, the path of serving God (mitzvot) and the reward for this service (holiness). The three paragraphs of the sh ma are introduced by two b rakhot (blessings). The first b rakha speaks of creation, the second of revelation. Following the sh ma are another two b rakhot that speak of redemption and peace, respectively. While different in their poetry, the b rakhot surrounding the morning sh ma follow the same themes as those of the evening sh ma. The core themes of the brakhot surrounding the sh ma - creation, revelation and redemption- are echoed in the Shabbat amida. The ma ariv (evening) amida speaks of the creation of the world. In the shaharit (morning) service, it speaks of God s revelation to Moshe on Mt. Sinai. During minha (afternoon service), the amida speaks of the eternal rest of the messianic age (i.e., redemption). 16 EVENING SERVICE FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS

Birkhot Hashahar SIM SHALOM: Pages 61-71 Just as one should not begin physical exercise without first warming up, so too, one should not begin davening (worship) without warming up. The early morning prayers, birkhot hashahar, give us an opportunity to warm up our voices and spirit. They begin with a series of b rakhot (blessings) that trace the process of awakening. These b rakhot thank God for the gift of our bodies and souls; they describe God as providing for our physical needs of sight, strength, clothing, etc. The service continues with a portion of study. The passages for study in our Conservative siddur all focus on g milut hasadim (acts of loving kindness). Their recitation not only fulfills our minimum daily requirement of Torah study, it also points us on the path of righteousness each morning. Birkhot hashahar concludes with the kaddish and special psalm of the day. Modeh/Modah Ani p. 61 modeh/moda ani l fanekha melekh hai v kayam, shehehezarta bi nishmati b hemla, rabba emunatekha.

Yishtabah - concluding blessing This section opens with one b rakha (blessing) and concludes with another. Between them are a series of readings, most of which are psalms. It is quite a mass of material to cover, and for that reason, we only daven selected t fillot (prayers). The purpose of this section is not necessarily to contemplate each word individually. Instead, the davening is to be mantra-like. Entering the rhythm of the service and getting lost in the words allows for a few mind-calming minutes that prepare the davener for the shaharit service that follows.

Shaharit An Outline of the Shaharit Service Bar khu - Call to Worship Sh ma and its Blessings Amida Kaddish Shalem SIM SHALOM: Pages 107-128 Like the ma ariv service (see p. 16), shaharit is constructed around an unchanging core known as the matbei a shel t fillah. It consists of the sh ma with its surrounding blessings and the amida. The three paragraphs of the sh ma outline the basics of our faith. Taken directly from the Torah, the sh ma is a record of words spoken to our Israelite ancestors and to us by God. In the amida, on the other hand, it is not God but humans who speak. In this quiet moment of reflection, we stand before God and address God directly with words of praise, petition and thanksgiving. Traditionally, the amida is recited first individually and then repeated by the hazan (cantor). This practice reflects a fundamental notion of Jewish prayer - it is both a personal and a communal experience. The shaharit service opens with the bar khu, the call to prayer. Barkhu p. 107 (Hazan) bar khu et-adonai ham vorakh. (Cong.) barukh adonai ham vorakh l olam va ed.

Torah Service SIM SHALOM: Pages 139-154 An Outline of the Torah Service Hotza a (Processional) Torah Reading Haftara Reading Additional Prayers for the congregation for the U.S. government for the State of Israel for the new month Hakhnasa (Recessional) The Torah service is a unique and sacred moment in the Shabbat and holiday services that embodies a central Jewish value. After reciting prayer after prayer of praise and thanksgiving, we take time out... to study. For Jews, study is both a privilege and a form of Divine service. It is deserving, therefore, not only of our undivided attention but of our rejoicing with song. As the sefer Torah (Torah scroll) is removed from the aron hakodesh (holy ark) and paraded around the sanctuary, the congregation sings verses taken from the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). These verses simultaneously direct our thoughts to the past and to the future. They remind us of our earliest history as a nation when a portable ark containing the written word of God lay in the center of the Israelite camp. At the same time, these prayers envision an era when the entire world will recognize God s word as coming forth from Zion. TORAH SERVICE 37

Torah Service SIM SHALOM: Pages 139-154 Guide to Torah Honors For Jews, a sefer Torah is a holy object that must be handled with great care, respect and hiddur (esthetic enhancement). The sifrei Torah at Beth El are adorned with silver crowns and breast plates and are encased in colorful mantels and decorative tikkim ( cases for the two Sephardic Torahs in the main sanctuary). The original designs on the Torah s needle-pointed mantels depict the sanctuary s stained glass window interwoven with various biblical verses. To be kosher, Torah scrolls must be hand-written by a scribe using special ink and special parchment. One misspelled letter in a sefer Torah invalidates it for use in public Torah readings. Because the Hebrew in a sefer Torah is written without vowels or musical notation (t amim), chanting from the Torah requires skill and practice. As an object of affection and importance, special customs have developed surrounding a sefer Torah: To ensure an accurate reading of this sacred scripture, two gabba im closely follow the Torah reading to correct mispronounced words. One who receives a Torah honor (reads from, makes blessings over, lifts and dresses a Torah, etc.) is greeted by fellow congregants not with applause, but with the blessing to a man: yishar kohakha - May you have strength from the mitzvah you performed; to a woman: yishar koheikh - May you have strength from the mitzvah you performed. The honoree replies to a man: barukh tihyeh - May you be blessed; to a woman: b rukha tihyi - May you be blessed. As the Torah is raised, all who are able rise as a sign of honor. It is traditional to point to the Torah as it is lifted to indicate that this is the Torah ( v zot hatorah ) which has been handed down since the time of Moshe.

Musaf An Outline of the Musaf Service Hatzi Kaddish Musaf Amida Kaddish Shalem Ein Keiloheinu Aleinu Mourner s Kaddish Adon Olam SIM SHALOM: Pages 155-187 On Shabbat, an additional amida is added to the service (musaf means additional ). This amida follows the same structure as the shaharit amida. It contains, however, special paragraphs that draw our thoughts to Temple worship. Just as our ancestors in Temple times made an additional offering to distinguish Shabbat and holidays from weekdays, so too, do we include an additional amida in our services. When we recall the Temple, we link ourselves to our past. But this prayer does more than remind us of biblical Temple worship (called avodah). In 70 CE when the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, sacrifices ceased. In their place, prayer began to flourish. The rabbis referred to prayer as avodah shebalev worship of the heart. Thus, even though the fires on the Temple s altar were extinguished, there is still a sanctuary inside each of us where offerings are made and a fire still burns - the heart. The musaf amida asks us to consider what offering our hearts make in the service of the Divine. When we think of the piety of our ancestors, who from their meager supply of cattle and grain, offered their best possessions, we feel called upon to devote not only our words but also our substance and our hearts to God s service. Following the musaf service are the concluding prayers. They are an expanded version of the concluding prayers for a weekday shaharit service. ADDITIONAL AMIDA 47
