Musaf for Festivals

The following Amida is said on Yom Tov and Hol HaMo’ed (including Shabbat Hol HaMo’ed). On the first day of Pesah, the Leader begins the Repetition with the “Prayer for Dew” on page 892; on Shemini Atzeret, with the “Prayer for Rain” on page 898. In Israel, these prayers are said before the silent recitation of the Amida.
The following prayer, until “in former years” on page 880, is said silently, standing with feet together. If there is a minyan, the Amida is repeated aloud by the Leader. Take three steps forward and at the points indicated by ▼, bend the knees at the first word, bow at the second, and stand straight before saying God’s name.

Blessed are You, LORD, who revives the dead.
