After the Amidah: Acceptable to You

/in , , /by

We began this journey with “Adonai S’fatai,” asking God to open our lips – a prayer before the formal prayer. We close with “Yihiyu L’Ratzon” and “Elohai N’tzor” – prayers after the formal prayer. These closing blessings aren’t technically part of the Amidah, but they are part of our experience of praying the Amidah. Many people begin the recitation of the Amidah by taking three steps forward to enter the prayer and enter the divine Presence. This offering is like the three steps back we take upon concluding our prayer. As we back away from that period of holy encounter, how might we find ourselves changed?

Includes work by Trisha Arlin, R. Rachel Barenblat, Mike Cockrill, elisheva cropper, R. Hannah Dresner, R. Sonja Keren Pilz PhD, and R. David Zaslow.
