לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.3 יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי* פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ,
יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִי:4

Here the individual's Amidah ends.

THE REPEATING OF THE AMIDAH

At Shacharit and Minchah the chazzan repeats the Amidah, beginning on page 331. The congregation must attend carefully to the chazzan and answer Amen at each blessing’s conclusion. Should fewer than nine men respond Amen after the blessings, it amounts to a blessing in vain. It is proper to answer with "Boruch Hu u'Voruch Shemo" ("Blessed is He and Blessed is His Name") whenever the chazzan says Blessed are You, Lord.
DURING MAARIV: on a weeknight—Complete Kaddish is recited by the chazzan, then (the Counting of the Omer, page 136, and) It is incumbent, page 174.
On Friday night—proceed with The heavens, page 172.
On the first two nights of Pesach—Hallel is recited here, page 307. When the first night of Pesach falls on Friday night, recite the paragraph The heavens, page 172, before Hallel.
On the eves of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah—Complete Kaddish is recited by the chazzan, then (Kiddush, page 330, and) Hakafot, page 383. When Shemini Atzeret falls on Friday night, continue with The heavens through Bless the Lord... (pages 172–174), then (Kiddush, page 330, and) Hakafot, page 383.
DURING SHACHARIT: At this point Hallel is recited, page 307.
DURING MINCHAH: Complete Kaddish is recited by the chazzan, page 266.

YIZKOR—PRAYER FOR THE SOULS OF THE DEPARTED

On the last day of Pesach, the second day of Shavuot, Shemini Atzeret, and Yom Kippur, Yizkor is recited after the Torah is read. (When these days fall on Shabbat, it follows May there come and May He who blessed, pages 230–231.)
Custom holds that those whose parents are living leave the room for this prayer. A person in the first year of mourning should stay in the synagogue, without saying Yizkor.
