2017年11月3日 · At the center of the Jewish daily prayers are the 19 blessings that make up the silent prayer, known in Hebrew as the Amidah (lit. “standing”) or Shemoneh Esrei (“eighteen,” since there were originally 18 blessings), 1 which we recite three times daily. What Is the Amidah? What Does the Amidah Look Like? What Is the Amidah?

2001年5月22日 · The Amidah is the central prayer of all four services: shacharit (morning), mincha (afternoon), maariv (evening), and mussaf (additional). The word Amidah literally means standing, because it is recited while standing.

The Amidah (Hebrew: תפילת העמידה, Tefilat HaAmidah, 'The Standing Prayer'), also called the Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה 'eighteen'), is the central prayer of Jewish liturgy. Observant Jews recite the Amidah during each of the three services prayed on weekdays: Morning (Shacharit), afternoon (Mincha), and evening (Ma'ariv).

Amidah, which literally means, “standing,” refers to a series of blessings recited while standing. Find a version of the Shabbat Amidah in Hebrew here, or consult a prayer book of your choice.

While praying, concentrate on the meaning of the words and remember that you stand before the Divine Presence. Before beginning the Amidah, take three steps back, then three steps forward. Recite the Amidah quietly — but audibly to yourself — while standing with feet together. My L-rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

This prayer is so important. The centerpiece of the three daily weekday prayers, wherein we beseech God for all our personal and communal needs.

מֶלֶךְ מֵמִית וּמְחַיֶּה וּמַצְמִיחַ יְשׁוּעָה: You are mighty forever, my L-rd; You resurrect the dead; You are powerful to save. He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.

Next to the Shema, the Amidah is the most widely recited Hebrew in the world. Among observant Jews, it is referred to simply as HaTefillah, or "the prayer" of Judaism. The prayer is traditionally recited while standing and facing the Aron Kodesh (the ark that houses the Torah scrolls).

Even though a nineteenth blessing was added millennia ago, this name remains current in some segments of the Jewish world. The Amidah is the central prayer text in the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening services. Although it is the “set liturgy” par excellence, the Amidah designates particular places for personal petitions and devotions as well.

During the Ten Days of Penitence add: Who is like You, merciful Father, who in compassion remembers His creatures for life. You are trustworthy to revive the dead. Blessed are You L-rd, who revives the dead. When the Chazzan repeats Amidah, Kedushah is recited here.
