Friday Night

Amidah

Visible layers

On Rosh Chodesh or Chol Hamoed, add the following. On Rosh Chodesh, if omitted and God’s name at the end of the blessing has already been said, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah. On Chol Hamoed, if omitted and the word מוֹדִים has not been said, say this paragraph then. If the word מוֹדִים has already been said, go back to the paragraph of רְצֵה and continue from there. If the Amidah has already been concluded, it must be repeated.

We acknowledge and are thankful to You, that You, Lord, are our God and the God of our fathers, forever and ever. You are the strength of our life and the shield that protects and saves us in every generation. We will give thanks to You and tell Your praise. We will thank and praise You for our lives, which are completely in Your hand, for our souls, which are kept securely by You, for the miracles that You perform for us every day, and for Your wonders and goodness that are always with us. Three times a day we praise You: in the evening, in the morning, and in the afternoon: Maariv, Shacharit, and Minchah. You are the Good God, because Your mercy never ends. You are the Merciful God, because Your kindness never stops. We pray to You, for we have always put our hopes in You and trusted in You.

On Chanukah say the following. If omitted, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah. If one realized that he omitted it before saying יְיָ in the blessing of הַטּוֹב שִׁמְךָ on page 300, he should say it then.

Thank You for the miracles You did for our ancestors

The miracles of Chanukah

In the days of Matityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest, who was from the Hasmonean family, and his sons—when the wicked Syrian-Greek empire, led by king Antiochus, rose up and took control over Your nation, the Children of Israel, enacting decrees to make the Jewish Nation forget Your Torah and turn them away from the decrees that You want them to keep—You, God, in Your great mercy, stood by the Jewish Nation and helped them in their time of difficulty. You fought their wars, defended their rights, and avenged the wrong done to them. You put the mighty Syrian-Greek army into the hand of the weak Jewish army, and the great Syrian-Greek army was defeated; You put their many soldiers into the hand of our few; You put the impure who fought against You, into the hand of the pure Jewish army; You put the wicked into the hand of the righteous; You put the sinners into the hand of those who occupy themselves with Your Torah. Through these great acts, You made a great and holy name for Yourself in Your world. And for Your nation, the Children of Israel, You brought about a great salvation and redemption; it is spoken about and praised to this very day.
