Welcome Jodie!!!

Picture

We're excited for your service!  Just a reminder, we'll be focusing on leading the Amida, but I've included basic information about the other parts of the service as well.  For now, we'll skip #4 and #6 in the Amida since we usually don't read them in Hebrew or sing them.  Let me know if you need any other materials (slower files, faster files) or have any questions.  Good Luck!

-Cantor Margolius

Parts of the Service
1.   Introduction.  On Friday night, it is called Kabbalat Shabbat (receiving Shabbat), and in the morning it is called P'sukei D'zimra (verses of song).  They both serve the same general purpose of helping the congregation "warm-up" to prayer.

2.   Sh'ma Uvirchoteha (Sh'ma and its B'rachot – its blessings). This part of the service is about what we believe as a people and our shared history.  It begins with Bar'chu – the announcement that we are formally beginning our service.  The Sh'ma and V'ahavta are at the center of this service, surrounded by b'rachot about Creation, Revelation, and Redemption

3.   Amida  (lit. "Standing," also known as HaT'filah – THE Prayer – or the 18). This is the emotive part of the service, and the core of "prayer" in its various themes and modes: asking, thanking, praising, forgiving, hoping, etc.  On Shabbat and holidays it has 7 b'rachot, and on weekdays it has 19.

4.   Torah Service. Traditionally included every Saturday, Monday and Thursday morning, Reform tradition occasionally includes a Torah service on Friday night, especially when a community doesn't have regular Saturday morning services.   

5.   Conclusion.  Highlights include Aleinu, Kaddish Yatom (mourner's kaddish) and a closing song.

123   Kiddush for Friday night (We use a glass of wine to add one extra acknowledgement of Shabbat)

Just an aside about Kiddush – we actually do this at other times as well.  At a wedding, we say seven special b'rachot for the couple during the ceremony, but also later over a glass of wine, and the Seder similarly uses wine to repeat/reinforce the message that the day is special.
