MINCHAH AMIDAH OF SHABBAT

While at prayer, attend to the meaning of the words. Bear in mind that you stand before the Divine Presence. Cast away any distracting thoughts, so the mind may stay fixed upon prayer. Prior to starting the Amidah, take three steps backward, then three steps forward. Recite the Amidah quietly—but audibly—standing with feet together. From the start of the Amidah through its end on page 265, interruptions of any form are forbidden. See page 602 for the laws of the Shabbat Amidah.

In winter (from Musaf of Shemini Atzeret until Shacharit on the first day of Pesach), say מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם. In summer (from Musaf on the first day of Pesach through Shacharit of Shemini Atzeret), say מוֹרִיד הַטָּל. Should one, in error, have said מַשִּׁיב הָרוּחַ וּמוֹרִיד הַגֶּשֶׁם in the summer, it must be corrected, and repeating the Amidah may be required (for additional laws, see page 589). If, however, one said מוֹרִיד הַטָּל in error during the winter, going back to correct it is not necessary.
