This prayer for the Shaliaḥ Tsibur is found in the Musaf Amidah for Rosh haShanah, in the Malkhuyot between Aleinu and Al Kén. The translation offered here is based on that found in the Metsudah Maḥzor for Rosh Hashanah. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A quadrilingual text of U-N’taneh Tokef — Yiddish, Ladino, English, and Hebrew. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): The full text of the alphabetic mesostic piyyut, Hayom, according to the Italian nusaḥ. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): The Italian Jewish community is one of the oldest continuous Jewish communities on the planet, dating back to the Roman empire at the latest.The Italian Jewish nusaḥ preserves several archaic practices that Ashkenazi and Sephardi rites no longer follow, many of which were found in gaonic siddurim and preserved only among the Italians. One fascinating custom of the Italian Jews is the recitation of what Ashkenazim and Sephardim call “Kol Nidrei” not in Aramaic, but in Hebrew, under the name “Kol N’darim.” This custom, also found among the Romaniotes of Greece, is elsewhere only found in the siddur of Rav Amram Gaon. The text included here is transcribed, niqqud and all, directly from a 1469 Italian-rite siddur found in the British Library. The scribe uses several non-standard vocalizations, which have been marked in editors’ notes.

While a dramatic moment in the service, it always seemed a little *too* grand to represent a prayer of humility. This is a version of it I wrote in an attempt to make myself more comfortable at that moment. –Rabbi Oren Steinitz Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): |
