We include some notes from Len Wanetik’s Guide to the Shabbat Morning Service at Congregaion B’nai Moshe. Len Wanetik was a dear friend and a beloved member of B’nai Moshe. After a determined battle, Len’s body succumbed to cancer, but his memory—and his commentary— continue to inspire the many people who learned from this scholarly and caring teacher. His commentary informs much of the commentary in this book, but notes taken almost verbatim from his book are marked (LIW).

Introduction Why a new siddur? It is a question we have been asked many times since the announcement of this exciting project about one year ago. The answer for us is simple—Siddur Tefillah l’Moshe will draw our members closer to Jewish tradition, and to one another. For more than fifty years, our Shabbat services have centered around the Sabbath and Festival Prayer Book, brought to Congregation B’nai Moshe by our beloved Rabbi Moses Lehrman z”l. As we move forward in adopting our new Shabbat Siddur, we are honored to still use the very fine “Silverman Siddur” for all festival services, approximately thirteen days every year. Siddur Tefillah l’Moshe takes us to a next important stop on our spiritual journey. The liturgy of the Jewish people is beautiful and meaningful. But too many are unable to participate fully, due to limited knowledge of Hebrew, or lack of understanding of the mechanics of the prayer service. Our new siddur is fully explained and accessible to all members of the congregation, resulting in a welcoming and inclusive community of Jews who pray and learn together, and who are drawn closer to the beautiful and meaningful tradition of liturgy which we have inherited from our ancestors, and will now be able to pass on to our descendants. To put it even more simply—though the siddur is new, its goal is not to turn away from Jewish tradition, but rather to embrace it! We are especially proud of these features of Siddur Tefillah l’Moshe: • A new translation created by Dr. Joe Lewis, which offers a healthy balance between the literal meaning of the original Hebrew, and a beautiful and “prayable” poetry. • English transliteration of every word of Hebrew prayer. • Clear and helpful directions indicating when to stand, sit and/or bow; when to join in with the prayer leader, when to respond, and when to pray silently. • A logical order of prayers, based on Jewish tradition and our own B’nai Moshe practices, minimizing the need to “flip around the book.” In addition, we devoted many hours to reviewing the Hebrew of the siddur, insuring the accuracy of the text. In cases of multiple versions of the same prayers, we sought guidance by comparing the best available siddurim of both the U.S. and Israel to determine our choice of wording. Whenever appropriate, we used manuscript evidence to restore Hebrew text to its original wording—e.g., Yedid Nefesh. We returned traditional text to the siddur (e.g. the private meditation at the end of each Amidah). We creatively combined the two paragraphs of Yekum Purkan into one unified whole, eliminating unnecessary duplication of language, while accurately preserving the meaning of the original version. Siddur Tefillah l’Moshe contains a new prayer for the United States, authored by Dr. Joe Lewis. However we have retained the familiar version—the one you remember from the Sabbath and Festival Prayer Book—in the Appendix. Also in the Appendix, we have included the complete text of the Prayer for the State of Israel, the longer version used in Israel, as well as the Star Spangled Banner and Hatikvah. In the body of the siddur, we are proud to now include prayers for the soldiers of both the United States and Israel. We had the personal honor of davening together with Cantor Louis Klein, Sexton Shalom Ralph, and Torah Reader Abram Rabinovitz, all of blessed memory. We are confident that these three of our teachers would be proud of this new siddur, knowing that their beloved congregants were using it to grow closer to the tradition they so loved. Many members of Congregation B’nai Moshe contributed to both the vision and the production of this siddur. We are especially grateful to: • Leonard Wanetik z”l, who years ago dreamed of a new congregational siddur, and took the first steps toward making his dream a reality. • Naomi Pinchuk, who urged us to take seriously the need for transliteration, so that all can participate as equals. • Mark Roth, chair, and the members of the B’nai Moshe Ritual Committee, for their enthusiastic support of this project. We are grateful to our proofreaders, Carol Pollack, Marc Sussman and Joel Ungar, and especially to the very talented and knowledgeable Dr. Joe Lewis, a rare and creative genius. We are also grateful to our fellow professionals and staff, the lay leaders and members of the synagogue, for their extra patience, assistance and understanding, as we spent so many extra hours painstakingly reviewing the drafts of this siddur, page by page, word by word. While we apologize for any remaining errors, we are grateful for the profound joy of learning which we experienced as a result of this holy project. Our ultimate goal for this siddur project is the opportunity to join with our congregants in standing humbly before God, in gratitude for the blessings in our lives. May we all join together physically and spiritually with all Jews throughout the world and throughout history, linking our fate with theirs, and strengthening our bond to the traditional language and words of prayer which have sustained our souls throughout the generations.

Sometimes a congregation does a “heiche (or hoiche) kedushah”—Yiddish meaning “kedushah out loud.” The prayer leader leads the congregation through kedushah; for minchah, the congregation then returns to the first blessing (Ancestors / t9b3a) and recites the entire Amidah. 27 Minchah Amidah

Amidah h3dy5m@i Amidah Rise, and take take three steps back and three forward. With feet together, recite the Amidah (Standing Prayer) quietly. The prayer leader repeats this prayer.1 To avoid disturbing others during the Amidah, do not enter or leave the sanctuary; during Kedushah stay in your place. ,Ki shem Adonai ekra“ כִּ ֛ י שֵׁ ֥ ם יְ ה וָ ֖ ה אֶ קְ רָ ֑ א ,Deut .32:3 “When I pronounce the name Adonai ”!havu godel lEloheinu הָ ב֥ וּ גֹ֖ דֶ ל לֵ א � הֵ ֽ י נ וּ ”!give glory to our God ,Adonai sefatai tiftach“ ֲ א ֹ ד ָנ י שְׂ פָ תַ י תִּ פְ תָּ ח ,Psalms 51:17 “Adonai, open my lips ”.ufi yagid tehilatecha וּפִ י יַגִּיד תְּהִ לָּתֶ � ”.and my mouth will speak your praise 1.

1 When the prayer leader repeats the Amidah, the congregation responds “Baruch hu uvaruch shemo” and “Amen” as shown. We bow four times in the Amidah: at the beginning and end of the first blessing (Ancestors / t9b3a) and penultimate blessing (Thanksgiving / h3a3d9h). Three times we bend the knees at “baruch,” bow at “atah” and straighten up at “Adonai”; at the beginning of the Thanksgiving blessing, we bow without bending the knees. 2 Some mention the four Matriarchs, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah: God of Sarah, God of Rebecca h3q1b5r y6h^l$a h3r3f y6h^l$a Elohei Sarah, Elohei Rivkah, God of Rachel and God of Leah h3a6l y6h^la¼w l6c3r y6h^l$a Elohei Rachel vElohei Leah
