Abstract

AMIDAH (Heb. עֲמִידָה; "standing"), the core and main element of each of the prescribed daily services. In talmudic sources it is known as Ha-Tefillah ("The Prayer" par excellence). As its name indicates, the Amidah must be recited standing. Other names for this prayer include Shemoneh esreh, for the number of its benedictions (presently 19), and Tefillat laḥash, because of the obligation to recite it silently.
