The Afternoon Prayer
 Jewish Law / Halacha ↗️

Fortunate are those who dwell in Your house. May they continue to praise You, Selah. Fortunate is the people for whom this is so. Fortunate is the people for whom Adonai is their God.

Psalm 145

A praise by David. I will exalt You, my God, the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever and ever. Adonai is great and highly extolled, and His greatness is unfathomable. One generation to another will praise Your deeds, and recount Your mighty acts. I will discuss the splendor of Your glorious majesty and Your wonders. They will speak of Your awesome might and I will recount Your greatness. They will recall Your bountifulness and they will joyfully exult in Your righteousness. Adonai is gracious and merciful – slow to anger and great in kindness. Adonai is good to all – His mercy encompasses all His works. All Your works will thank You, Adonai, and Your pious ones will bless You. They will speak of the honor of Your kingship and they will declare Your might. To reveal to men His mighty acts and the glorious splendor of His kingship. Your kingship is a kingship for all time, and Your dominion is in every generation. Adonai supports all the fallen, and straightens all the bent. All eyes expectantly look to You, and You give them their food at the proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living being.  Adonai is just in all His ways and benevolent in all His deeds. Adonai is near to all who call upon Him – to all who call upon Him in truth. He fulfills the will of those who fear Him – He hears their cry and delivers them. Adonai watches over all those who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked. My mouth will declare the praise of Adonai, and all flesh will bless His holy Name forever and ever. And we will bless God from now and forever. Praise God.

Let my prayer be established before You as incense. I lift my hands as an evening offering. Be attentive to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.

The Leader recites «Hatzi (Half) Kaddish»

Blessed is the Almighty to Whom all thanks are due.

 

Al Hannissim is said on Hanukkah and Purim.
For the miracles, the deliverance, the mighty feats, the acts of rescue, the wonders, and the comforting deeds that
You have performed for our forefathers in those days, at this time.On Hanukkah:
In the days of Mattityah the son of Yohanan, the high priest, the Hasmonean, and his sons – when the evil kingdom of Greece rose up against Your people, Israel, to make them forget Your Torah,and to force them to stray from the statutes of Your Will – You, in Your great compassion, stood up for them in their time of trouble; You took up their fight, sought justice for them, meted out vengeance for them, and delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, the impure into the hands of the pure, and tyrants into the hands of those who are occupied with Your Torah. For Yourself You made a great and holy name in Your world; and for Your people, Israel, You carried out a great salvation and deliverance as it is to this day. Then, afterwards, Your children entered the Inner Sanctuary of Your House, cleansed and purified Your Temple, and kindled lights in the couryards of Your Sanctuary, and they established these eight days of Hanukkah for praise and thanksgiving. And You performed for them miracles and wonders for which we give thanks to Your great Name, Selah!On Purim:
In the days of Mordechai and Ester in the palace of Shushan, when Haman the wicked rose up against them – he sought to destroy, slay and exterminate all the Jews, young and old, children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and he sought to take their spoils. But, You, in Your great compassion, ruined his plan, foiled his design and turned his due upon his own head – they hanged him and his sons at the gallows. And You performed for them miracles and wonders for which we give thanks to Your great Name, Selah!

And for all these things may Your Name, our King, continually forever and ever be blessed, exalted, and extolled. Everything alive shall give thanks to You, Selah!

From Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur, add:  Inscribe for a good life all members of Your covenant.

And they shall praise and bless Your great Name sincerely, forever, for It is good – God, our salvation and help, Selah! – God, Who is good. Blessed are You, Adonai, the Benevolent One is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to give thanks.

(19)  “BLESSING THE WORLD”
Establish peace, goodness and blessing, life, grace and kindness, and compassion over us and upon all of Your people Israel. Bless us our Father all as one, with the Light of Your countenance, for with the Light of Your countenance that You, Adonai, our God, gave us Torah of life, love and kindness, righteousness and compassion, blessing and peace. And may it be good in Your eyes to bless us and to bless Your entire people, Israel, with overflowing power and peace.

From Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur, add:
And in the Book of life, blessing, peace, good sustenance, salvation, consolation, and good decrees, may we be remembered and inscribed before You – we, and Your entire people, Israel – for a good life and for peace.

Blessed are You, Adonai, Who blesses, His people, Israel, with peace, Amen.

May they find favor, the utterance of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart, before You, Adonai, my Rock and my Redeemer.

My God! Please protect my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceit. And let my soul remain silent to those who curse me, and let my soul be as dust to all. Open my heart in Your Torah and let my soul pursue Your commandments. All who plan against me to do me harm – speedily nullify their conspiracy and ruin their intention. Do it for the sake of Your Name; act for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; act for the sake of Your holiness(**).

** It is a Segullah (spiritual benefit) – so as not to forget one’s name on the Final Day of Judgment – for one to say at this point a verse from Scripture that begins with the first letter of his name and ends with the last letter of his name.

So that Your loved ones may be saved, save with Your right hand and answer me.

He Who makes peace in His high places – may He, in His compassion, make peace for us and for His entire nation, Israel; and say: Amen.

May it be Your will, Adonai, our God, God of our ancestors, that You rebuild the holy Temple speedily in our days. And place our lot in Your Torah so that we may fulfill the statutes of Your will and serve You wholeheartedly.

From Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur, add  « Our Father, our King… »:

On days “Vidduy” (Confession) is not recited, start with “May the Name…”, and then hazzan recites « Kaddish Titkabal »

May the Name of Adonai be blessed from now and until eternity. From the sun’s rising until its setting Adonai’s Name is praised. Adonai is high above all nations’ His glory is above the heavens. Adonai, our Master, how mighty is Your Name throughout the entire world!

Daily Supplication / Viddui / Tachanun

Our God and God of our fathers, let our prayer come before you and do not ignore our supplication. For we are not so brazen-faced and stiff-necked to say to you, Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, We are righteous and have not sined. But, indeed, we and our fathers have sinned.

We have trespassed [against God and man, and we are devastated by our guilt]; We have betrayed [God and man, we have been ungrateful for the good done to us]; We have stolen; We have slandered. We have caused others to sin; We have caused others to commit sins for which they are called רְשָׁעִים, wicked; We have sinned with malicious intent; We have forcibly taken other’s possessions even though we paid for them; We have added falsehood upon falsehood; we have joined with evil individuals or groups. We have given harmful advice; We have deceived; We have mocked; We have rebelled against God and His Torah; We have caused God to be angry with us; We have turned away from God’s Torah; We have sinned deliberately; We have been negligent in our performance of the commandments; We have caused our friends grief; We have been stiff-necked, refusing to admit that the cause of our suffering is our own sins. We have committed sins for which we are called רָשָׁע [raising a hand to hit someone]. We have committed sins which are the result of moral corruption; We have committed sins which the Torah refers to as abominations; We have gone astray; We have led others astray.

We have turned away from Your commandments and from Your good laws, and we have gained nothing from it. And You are the Righteous One in all [punishment] that has come upon us; for You have acted truthfully and we have acted wickedly.

You are Almighty, Slow to anger, Lord of Mercy, You are called, and the way of repentance, You have taught us. The greatness of Your mercy and kindness, remember this day and every day for the descendants of Your loved ones. Turn to us with compassion for You are the Lord of Mercy. With supplication and prayer we approach Your Presence, as You made know to [Moses,] the modest one of old. From Your fierce anger turn, as it is written in Your Torah: In the shadow of Your wings, may we be sheltered and lodged, as on the day [of which it is said:] When Adonoy descended in the cloud. Remove [our] transgression, and blot out [our] iniquity, as on the day [of which it is said:] And He stood with him there. Give ear to our cry and listen to our speech, as on the day [of which it is said:] And He proclaimed in the Name, Adonoy And there it is said:

And Adonoy passed before him [Moses] and proclaimed:

Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, Merciful, Gracious, Slow to Anger, and Abundant in Kindness and Truth. Keeper of kindness for thousands of generations, Endurer of iniquity and transgression, and sin, and Acquitter of those who repent. And pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance. Pardon us, our Father, for we have sinned, forgive us, our King, for we have transgressed. For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

The following supplication is recited while sitting down:

And David said to Gad (II Samuel 24:14), I am greatly distressed; let us fall into the hand of Adonoy for His mercies are great, but into the hand of man let me not fall.
Merciful and gracious One, I have sinned before You; Adonoy, full of mercy, have compassion upon me and accept my supplications.

Adonoy, do not rebuke me with Your anger, nor chastise me with Your rage. Be gracious unto me, Adonoy, for I am desolate, heal me Adonoy, for my bones are terrified. My soul, [too,] is utterly terrified, and You Adonoy, how long? Return Adonoy, free my soul, deliver me for the sake of Your lovingkindness. For in death there is no mention of You; in the lower world who will thank You. I am worn out with my sighing, every night I cause my bed to float; with my tears, I melt my couch. My eye is dimmed from anger, it has aged because of my tormentors. Depart from me, all you evildoers, for Adonoy has heard the voice of my weeping. Adonoy has heard my supplication, Adonoy will (also) accept my prayer. Ashamed and utterly terrified will all my foes be, they will return and be instantaneously ashamed.

Guardian of Israel, guard the remnant of Israel, and let not Israel perish, who say, “Hear Israel.” Guardian of the unique nation, guard the remnant of the unique people, and let not the unique nation perish, who proclaim the Oneness of Your Name, [saying:] Adonoy is our God, Adonoy is One. Guardian of the holy nation, guard the remnant of the holy people and let not the holy nation perish who repeat the threefold sanctification to the Holy One. You Who are appeased by pleas for mercy, and conciliated by supplications, be appeased and conciliated to an afflicted generation, for there is none else to help. Our Father, our King! be gracious to us and answer us for we have no [good] deeds, deal with us charitably and kindly and deliver us. As for us, we know not what to do; but our eyes are upon You. Remember Your mercies, Adonoy, and kindnesses for they are from the beginning of the world. Adonoy! may Your kindness be upon us, as we have waited for You. Remember not the sins of our ancestors; let Your mercy come swiftly toward us, for we have been brought very low. Help us for the Name of Adonoy Creator of Heaven and earth. Be gracious to us, Adonoy, be gracious to us for we are saturated with humiliation. [Even] in anger remember to have compassion. [Even] in anger remember the binding of Isaac. Even in anger remember the uprightness of Jacob Adonoy deliver [us] the King will answer us on the day we call. For He knows of what we are made; He is mindful that we are but dust. Help us, God of our deliverance, for the sake of the glory of Your Name; save us and atone our sins, for the sake of Your Name.

ALENU

It is our duty praise the Ruler of all, to recognize the greatness of the Creator of first things, for He has not made us like the nations of the lands, and He did not make us the same as other families of the earth, He did not allocate our portion like theirs, nor our lot like all their multitudes, for they prostrate themselves to futility and emptiness and pray to a god that cannot help. (quick pause) But we prostrate ourselves before He Who is King over kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed is He. He stretches out the heavens and establishes the earth’s, the seat of His homage is in the heavens above, and Whose powerful Presence is in the highest heights. He is our Elohim and there is no other. True is our Sovereign, nothing exists apart from Him, as it is written in Your Torah: And you shall know today and take to heart, that Hashem is the Elohim in the heavens above, and on earth below and there is no other.

Therefore we put our hope in You Hashem our Elohim, let us witness the glory of Your power, to remove idols from the earth, and false gods will utterly be cut off, to perfect the universe through the reign of the Almighty. And all humanity will call upon Your Name, and all the wicked of the earth shall turn to You. May all the inhabitants of the world know and recognize You, that to You every knee should bend, and every tongue pledge. Before You, Hashem our Elohim, they will bend their knees and bow down, and they will give honor to the glory of Your Name, and all will accept the yoke of Your Sovereignty, that You may reign over them. Thus it has been said, Hashem will be Sovereign over all the earth, on that day, Hashem will be One, and His Name will be One.

And in Your Torah, Adonai, our God, it is written as follows:

Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
