The following prayer, until “in former years”, on page 97, is said standing with feet together

The Amidah is first said silently; then, if there is a minyan, it is repeated aloud by the Leader.

Take three steps forward. At the points indicated by bend the knees at the first word, bow at the second, and stand straight before GOD’S name.

O LORD, open my lips, so that my mouth may declare Your praise.

PATRIARCHS

Blessed are You, LORD our GOD and GOD of our Fathers, GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac and GOD of Jacob; the great, mighty and awesome God, God Most High, who bestows acts of lovingkindness and creates all, who remembers the lovingkindness of the Fathers and will bring a Redeemer to their children’s children for the sake of His name, in love.

Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, add:

Remember us for life, O King who desires life, and write us in the book of life – for Your sake, O GOD of life.

King, Helper, Saviour, Shield: Blessed are You, LORD, Shield of Abraham.

DIVINE MIGHT

You are eternally mighty, LORD. You give life to the dead and have great power to save.

From after Simchat Torah until Pesach, add:

He makes the wind blow and the rain fall.

He sustains the living with lovingkindness, and with great compassion revives the dead. He supports the fallen, heals the sick, sets captives free, and keeps His faith with those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of might, and to whom can You be compared, O King who brings death and gives life, and makes salvation grow?

Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, add:

Who is like You, compassionate Father, who remembers His creatures in compassion, for life?

Faithful are You to revive the dead. Blessed are You, LORD, who revives the dead.

When saying the Amidah silently, go to “You are holy” on page 81.
