Amidah


Visible layers
Bow forward and take three steps back.<sup>1</sup> Bow to the left while saying עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו; bow forward while saying הוּא; bow to the right while saying יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ; and bow forward again while saying וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.
From Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur, say הַשָּׁלוֹם instead of שָׁלוֹם.

Grant peace to the Jewish Nation

Hebrew
עֹשֶׂה (הַשָּׁלוֹם) שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו,
הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ
וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:
Sephardi
Oseh (hashalom) shalom bimromav,
hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu
ve'al kol Yisrael, ve'imru amen:
English
May God, <b>Who makes</b> (the) <b>peace in His heavens, make peace for us and for all the Children of Israel, and everyone say Amen.</b>

Rebuild the Holy Temple speedily

Hebrew
יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית
הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בִּמְהֵרָה בְּיָמֵינוּ, וְתֵן
חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ:
Sephardi
Yehi ratzon milfanekha, Adonai Eloheinu
veilohei avoteinu, sheyibaneh Beit
Hamikdash bimherah beyameinu, veten
chelkenu b'Toratekha:
English
<b>May it be Your will, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers, that the Holy Temple should be built speedily in our days,</b> and that <b>You give us our portion in Your Torah,</b> so we will be able to learn it properly.
The silent Amidah ends here.
In the presence of a minyan, the chazzan repeats the Amidah, starting on page 94. The congregation should listen carefully to the chazzan and respond אָמֵן after each blessing. It is also customary to respond בָּרוּךְ הוּא וּבָרוּךְ שְׁמוֹ each time the chazzan says בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ.
On most days (see exceptions below), continue with Tachanun.
Tachanun is not said on Rosh Chodesh, Chol Hamoed, Chanukah, Tu B'shvat, Purim, Shushan Purim, Purim Kattan, Shushan Purim Kattan, the entire month of Nissan, Pesach Sheini, Lag B'omer, from Rosh Chodesh Sivan through the 12th of Sivan, Tishah B'av, Tu B'av, Erev Rosh Hashanah, and from Erev Yom Kippur through the end of the month of Tishrei. According to Chabad custom, Tachanun is also not said on the 10th, 19th, and 20th of Kislev, and the 12th and 13th of Tammuz.
Additionally, Tachanun is not said if a circumcision will take place in the synagogue that day, or if one of the main participants in the circumcision (such as the father, mohel, or sandek) is present in the synagogue; if a groom is present in the synagogue on the day of his wedding or during the week of Sheva Brachos; and during the shivah period in a house of mourning.
On Rosh Chodesh, Chol Hamoed, and Chanukah, continue with Hallel, page 530. On all other occasions when Tachanun is not said, the chazzan continues with Half Kaddish, page 957. If there is no minyan present, continue with אַשְׁרֵי, page 129.

VIDUY AND TACHANUN

Stand while saying Viduy.

May God accept our prayers even though we have sinned

Hebrew
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, תָּבוֹא
לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ, וְאַל
תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתֵנוּ, שֶׁאֵין אָנוּ עַזֵּי
פָנִים וּקְשֵׁי עֹרֶף, לוֹמַר לְפָנֶיךָ יְיָ
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, צַדִּיקִים
אֲנַחְנוּ וְלֹא חָטָאנוּ, אֲבָל אֲנַחְנוּ
וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ חָטָאנוּ:
Sephardi
Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu, tavo
lefanecha t'filateinu, ve-al
tit'alem mitechinatenu, she'ein anu azei
panim uk'shei oref, lomar lefanecha Adonai
Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu, tzaddikim
anachnu v'lo chatanu, aval anachnu
va'avoteinu chatanu:
English
<b>Our God and the God of our fathers, may our prayers</b> reach You; may they <b>come to You. Do not turn away our requests;</b> do not ignore our prayers, because <b>we are not so shameless and stubborn to say to You, Lord, our God and the God of our fathers,</b> that <b>we are righteous and have not sinned.</b> Rather, we admit that <b>we and our ancestors have sinned.</b>
Bow slightly while saying this paragraph. As each sin is mentioned, tap the left side of your chest with your right fist. This shows regret for having followed any desires of the heart that may have led to sin.
Tap the chest (as above) while saying the words "סָרְנוּ" and "הִרְשַׁעְנוּ".

<b>We have transgressed,<sup>2</sup> we have betrayed</b> You, <b>we have robbed, and we have spoken badly</b> about others. <b>We have acted crookedly and wickedly, we have sinned intentionally, we have been violent, and we have joined in false accusations</b> against others. <b>We have given bad advice, we have lied, we have mocked</b> good people, <b>we have rebelled against</b> You, <b>we have made</b> You <b>angry, we have turned away</b> from You. <b>We have sinned, we have rebelled against</b> You, <b>we have made</b> things <b>difficult</b> for others, and <b>we have been too stubborn. We have done wicked things, we have acted destructively, we have acted disgustingly, we have gone off the right path, and we have led others off the right path.</b>
Hebrew
סָרְנוּ מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ וּמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶיךָ
הַטּוֹבִים וְלֹא שָׁוָה לָנוּ:
וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל כָּל הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ,

English
<b>We have turned away from Your commandments and Your good laws, and it was not worth it for us. You are fair and righteous</b> for bringing <b>all the punishments that come upon us,</b> because <b>You have acted truthfully</b> toward us, treating us as we deserve; but <b>we,</b> on the other hand, <b>have acted wickedly</b> toward You.
