Volume 1 Contents

Table of Contents

The HPLS Volume 1 Siddur contains all the prayers for the weekday afternoon and evening services. The introduction to the volume contains instructions for using the siddur and a pronunciation guide for the transliterations. Differences between the three Nusachim (Sefard, Ashkenaz, and HaAri) are noted throughout the volume.

Afternoon Service (Mincha). For those who pray the Chasidic (Nusach Sefard) prayers, the temple prayers (KohrBahNoht) are included at the beginning of the afternoon service. For those who do not say the temple prayers, the afternoon service starts with Psalm 145, which is otherwise referred to as Ashrei (AhshRay). The service then continues with the Silent Prayer for weekdays. The silent prayer, is also referred to as the Sh'mohNeh EhsReh, which means 18, representing the original 18 benedictions of the prayer. The silent prayer is also referred to as the Amidah (Ah'meeDah), which means standing because it is said standing.

Basic instructions regarding customs of proper prayer are also included throughout the HPLS siddur. The HPLS siddur contains the complete transliteration of the silent prayer. Additional transliterated passages are included in the silent prayer for the holidays of Chanukah and Purim, for Rosh Chodesh (the day of the new moon), and for the intermediate days (Chol HahMohEhd) of the Pilgrimage Holidays of Passover and Succoth. With a quorum of 10 present, the silent prayer is repeated by the chazen, who is also referred to as the Sh'leeAhch TzeeBoor (public messenger). The Sh'leeAhchTzeeBoor adds the KahDooShah prayer, which is said aloud by him and the congregants. After the silent prayer, a Tachanun (supplication) prayer is said, except on festive days. The afternoon service then concludes with the closing prayer Aleinu (AhLayNoo), and the Mourners' Kaddish.

Evening Service (Maariv). The HPLS siddur Volume 1 contains the complete evening service for weekdays. It starts with the optional Preliminary Verses Sheer HahMahAh'loht. The evening prayer formally starts with V'hoo RahChoom and the BahR'choo, which is the public bowing to God. The Shema Yisrael prayer is introduced by two blessings: HahMahAh'reev Ah'rahVeem and AhHah'vaht OhLahm. The HPLS siddur contains the complete transliterations for both these prayers. The Shema Yisrael (Sh'mah YisRahEhl) and the three paragraphs associated with it are then said, followed by two closing benedictions: Eh'meht (for redemption) and HahshKeeVehNoo (for protection) and various additional blessings. This is followed by the silent prayer, which is the same prayer said for the afternoon service, excluding the KahDooShah prayer, which is not said at night. The siddur contains additional prayers for: the conclusion of the Sabbath, Counting of the Omer (said between Passover and Shavuot), Psalm 27 (said from Elul to 7th day of Succoth), Psalm 49 (said during the Shivah period, which are the first 7 days in a house of mourning), Havdallah - separation prayer for the conclusion of the Sabbath. The evening service then concludes with Aleinu and the Mourners' Kaddish.
