Closing Meditation

Insert Words Here

My God, keep my tongue from evil, my lips from lies. Help me ignore those who would slander me. Let me be humble before all. Open my heart to Your Torah, that I may pursue Your mitzvot. Frustrate the designs of those who plot evil against me; make nothing of their schemes. Act for the sake of Your compassion, Your power, Your holiness, and Your Torah. Answer my prayer for the deliverance of Your people. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to You, my Rock and my Redeemer. May the One who brings peace to His universe bring peace to us and to all the people Israel. Amen.

Mar ben RavinaBer. 16b-17a

And now REPEAT??Rabban Gamliel: Only the recitation by the reader is

required.

Others: Reader’s function is to fulfill the obligation of

those who cannot read.

Maimonides: Silent amidah should be abolished since

once having recited it, people paid no attention to the

reader and the service lacked dignity.
