At the heart of each service is the Amidah or Shemoneh Esrei. |
On the fifteenth day, coinciding with the seventh day of Marheshvan, the words Ve-ten tal u-matar li-verakkhah were inserted in the daily Amidah. |
With this background, we proceed to the Amidah, where we pray for God to give us our needs, so that we may be able to fulfill His will. |
We recited the familiar prayers, like the Shema and the Amidah in their original Hebrew. |
