					<description><![CDATA[This is Effron Esseiva's morning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amidah">Amidah</a> (standing prayer) for weekdays. Effron writes, "It’s called <em>Shmonei Esrei</em> (18) because it used to have eighteen <em>brakhot</em> (blessings). However, it has an additional <em>brakha</em> to bring it to nineteen. This is my interpretation of the <em>Teissa Esrei</em> (19) with abridged <em>kavvanot</em> (intentions)."]]></description>

This is my interpretation of the <em>Teissa Esrei</em> (19) with abridged <em>kavvanot</em> (intentions).&#8221;</p>
<p>http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/80116134</p>
<p>For a personal Amidah, Effron is following the Neo-ḥasidic teaching of Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in his <em><a href="https://opensiddur.org/2009/10/reb-zalmans-open-siddur-tehillat-hashem/">Siddur Tefillat Hashem Yedaber Pi</a></em> which advises one to focus on and wrestle with the particular theme of each blessing, and prefacing the blessing with one&#8217;s own words. The Hebrew is thus abridged and in place of a translation is Effron&#8217;s interpretation of that theme.</p>
<p>Effron also includes certain contemporary liturgical innovations familiar among Liberal, Reform, and Conservative <em>minhag</em>. He includes the Imahot with the Avot in the first blessing and adds &#8220;<em>ezrat Sarah</em>.&#8221; Later, he excludes the phrase in <em>retzei</em> invoking the &#8220;<em>ishei Yisrael</em>.&#8221; The final &#8220;<em>sim shalom</em>&#8221; blessing is expansive and universal. Aside from these innovations, this Amidah follows from the Nusaḥ Ashkenaz.</p>

Almost two years ago my best friend passed away and I had the honour of chanting this <em>maleh rachamim</em> for him. In mid-May this year another friend approached me and said he really liked the way I did it at the time and could I record it for him because he was going to do it too for an unrelated unveiling. So, I recorded it on May 18, 2011. I didn&#8217;t compose it. It&#8217;s a traditional tune, but it&#8217;s my voice and I hope someone else can perhaps learn it with this material. The more resource there are out there through means such as Open Siddur the better we can learn and share.
