There we will offer to You our obligatory sacrifices, the daily burnt-offerings accord- ing to their order and the musaf offerings according to their rule; and the musaf offering of this Shabbat day we will prepare and offer to You with love in accordance with the command of Your will, as You have prescribed for us in Your Torah, through Moses Your servant in Your glorious Name, as it is stated: On the Shabbat day, two yearling male lambs without blemish, two-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a meal-offering, and its wine-offering—this is the burnt-offering for Shabbat, on each Shabbat, aside from the daily burnt-offering and its wine-offering. Those who observe the Shabbat and call it a delight shall rejoice in Your kingship; the nation which hallows the Seventh Day—all shall be satiated and delighted with Your goodness.

But You, in Your abounding mercies, stood by them in the time of their distress. You waged their battles, defended their rights, and avenged the wrong done to them. You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and the wanton sinners into the hands of those who occupy themselves with Your Torah. You made a great and holy name for Yourself in Your world, and effected a great deliverance and redemption for Your people Israel to this very day. Then Your children entered the shrine of Your House, cleansed Your Temple, purified Your Sanctuary, kindled lights in Your holy courtyards, and instituted these eight days of Chanukah to give thanks and praise to Your great Name. Iòå And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be contin- ually blessed, exalted, and extolled forever and all time. From Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur, add the following.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balm is no other than a resin which exudes from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used for rubbing on the onycha to refine its appearance. The Cyprus wine was used in which to steep the onycha to make its odor more pungent. Though the water of Raglayim might have served that purpose well, it would be disrespectful to bring it into the Temple. It was taught by Elijah: Whoever studies Torah laws every day is assured of life in the World to Come, for it is said: Halichot (the ways of) the world are his.2 Do not read halichot but halachot (Torah laws).3 Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina:4 Torah scholars increase peace in the world, for it is said: And all your children shall be learners of the [Torah of the] Lord, and great will be the peace of banayich (your children).5 Do not read banayich, but bonayich (your builders).

If a yahrzeit or a mourner is present, Mourner’s Kaddish is said after each of the five Books of Tehillim. Mourners recite Kaddish D’Rabbanan after Mishnayot, page 461. In the order of the priestly functions in the Beit Hamikdash on Shabbat, the placing of the two censers with frankincense followed the bringing of the Musaf offerings. Therefore, after the Musaf prayer on Shabbat, it is appropriate to recite the following Scriptural section pertaining to the censers with frankincense and showbread: Iå You shall take fine flour and bake of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be two-tenths [of an ephah]. Place them in two rows, six to a row, upon the pure table before the Lord. Put near each row pure frankincense, which is to be a memorial-offering for the bread, a fire-offering to the Lord. He shall arrange them before the Lord regularly, each and every Shabbat, an everlasting cove- nant from the Children of Israel. It shall belong to Aaron and his sons and they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy to him of the fire-offerings of the Lord, an everlasting statute.1 THE SIX REMEMBRANCES I So that you remember the day you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. But beware and guard your soul scrupulously, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they be removed from your heart all the days of your life; make known to your children and to your children’s children [what you saw] on the day when you stood before the Lord your God at Chorev [Sinai]. Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you came out of Egypt: how he met you on the way, and cut down all the weak who straggled behind you, when you were weary and exhausted; and he did not fear God. Therefore, when the Lord your God will relieve you of all your enemies around you, in the land which the Lord your God gives you as a hereditary portion, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget! Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the Lord your God to wrath in the desert. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way, as you came out of Egypt. Remember the Shabbat day to sanctify it. zayd meil yeciw When a festival occurs on a weekday, the festival Kiddush is recited (page 357).

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He revives my soul; He directs me in paths of righteousness for the sake of His Name. Even if I will walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they will comfort me. You will prepare a table for me before my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup is full. Only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the House of the Lord for many long years. Prepare the meal of perfect faith, which is the delight of the holy King; prepare the meal of the King. This is the meal of the holy Ancient One, and the holy Chakal Tapuchin and Z’eir Anpin come to join Him in the meal. And the Children of Israel shall observe the Shabbat, establishing the Shabbat throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for all time, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested. If you restrain your feet because of the Shabbat from attending to your affairs on My holy day, and you call the Shabbat, “delight,” the day made holy by the Lord, “hon- ored,” and you honor it by not following your customary ways, refraining from pursuing your affairs and from speak- ing profane things, then you shall delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the high places of the earth, and I will nourish you with the heritage of Jacob your father; thus the mouth of the Lord has spoken. zayd meil yeciw Before saying oM lr, take the cup of wine in the right hand, pass it to the left hand, and lower it onto the palm of the right hand.

And you shall say to them: This is the fire-offering which you shall offer to the Lord—two yearling male lambs without blemish, every day, as a daily burnt-offering. You shall offer one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb toward evening; and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil of crushed olives as a meal-offering. This is a daily burnt-offering, as it was made at Mount Sinai, for a pleasing odor, a fire-offering to the Lord. And its wine-offering shall be a fourth of a hin for the one lamb; in the Sanctuary you shall pour out a wine-offering of strong wine to the Lord.

And you shall make it into incense, a compound expertly blended, well-mingled, pure and holy. You shall grind some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Ark in the Tabernacle, where I will meet with you; most holy shall it be to you.2 And it is written: Aaron shall burn upon the altar the incense of fragrant spices; every morning when he cleans the lamps [of the menorah], he shall burn it. And toward evening, when Aaron lights the menorah, he shall burn it; this is a continual incense-offering before the Lord throughout your generations.3 The Rabbis have taught:4 How was the incense prepared? It weighed 368 manim: 365 corresponding to the number of days in the solar year, one maneh for each day—half a maneh to be offered in the morning and half toward evening; and the other three manim from which the Kohen Gadol took two handfuls into the Holy of Holies] on Yom Kippur. These [three manim] were put back into the mortar on the day before Yom Kippur and ground again very thoroughly so as to make the incense extremely fine. The incense contained the following eleven kinds of spices: balm, 2) onycha, 3) galbanum, 4) frankincense—each one weighing seventy maneh; 5) myrrh, 6) cassia, 7) spikenard, saffron—each weighing sixteen maneh; 9) costus, twelve maneh; 10) aromatic bark, three [maneh]; 11) cinnamon, nine maneh].

Rabbi Nathan the Babylonian says: A minute quantity of Jordan amber was also added. If, however, honey were added, the incense became unfit; while if one left out any one of the ingredients, he was liable to the penalty of death. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balm is no other than a resin which exudes from the balsam trees. The lye of Carshina was used for rubbing on the onycha to refine its appearance. The Cyprus wine was used in which to steep the onycha to make its odor more pungent. Though the water of Raglayim might have served that purpose well, it would be disrespectful to bring it into the Bet Hamikdash. It has been taught, Rabbi Nathan says: While the Kohen was grinding the incense, the overseer would say, “Grind it thin, grind it thin,” because the [rhythmic] sound is good for the compounding of the spices. If only half the yearly required quantity of incense was prepared, it was fit for use; but we have not heard if it was permissible to prepare only a third or a fourth of it. Rabbi Yehudah said: The general rule is that if the incense was compounded in its correct proportions, it was fit for use even if only half the annually required quantity was prepared; if, however, one left out any one of its ingredients, he was liable to the penalty of death. It has been taught, Bar Kappara says: Once in sixty or seventy years, half of the required yearly quantity of incense came from the accumulated surpluses [from the three maneh from which the High Priest took two handfuls on Yom Kippur]. Bar Kappara also taught: Had a minute quantity of honey been mixed into the incense, no one could have resisted the scent. Why then was no honey mixed with it? Because the Torah said: You shall present no leaven nor honey as an offering by fire to the Lord.1 Say three times: The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold forever.2 Say three times: Lord of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.3 Say three times: Lord, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasing to the Lord, as in the days of old and as in bygone years.5 aeh meie zayl dgpn ixy` When reciting gkA `P`, look at—or visualize—the Divine Names formed by the acronyms of the words (as they appear in the left column), but do not say them.

You have given Rosh Chodesh days to Your people, a time of atonement for all their descendants, when they brought before You offerings of goodwill and goats for sin-offerings to atone for them. It is to be a remembrance of them all, and a deliverance of their soul from the hand of the adversary. May You set up a new altar in Zion, and on it we will bring the burnt-offering of Rosh Chodesh, and willingly offer [sacrificial] goats; we will all rejoice in the service of the Bet Hamikdash and in the songs of David Your servant which will be heard in Your city, which will be chanted before Your altar. Bestow upon them everlasting love, and the covenant of the fathers remember for the descendants. Bring us with song to Zion Your city, and with everlasting joy to Jerusalem Your Sanctuary. There we will offer to You our obligatory sacrifices, the daily burnt-offerings according to their order and the musaf offerings according to their rule; and the musaf offering of this Rosh Chodesh day we will prepare and offer to You with love in accordance with the command of Your will, as You have prescribed for us in Your Torah, through Moses Your servant in Your glorious Name, as it is stated:

And on your Rosh Chodesh days you shall bring a burnt-offering to the Lord—two young bullocks, one ram, seven yearling male lambs, unblemished.

And their meal-offerings and libations as prescribed—three-tenths [of an ephah of fine flour] for each bullock, two-tenths for the ram, one-tenth for each lamb, and wine in accordance with each one’s wine-offering; as well as a male goat for atonement, and two daily burnt-offerings according to their rule.

Our God and God of our fathers, renew for us this month for good and for blessing (Amen), for gladness and for joy (Amen), for deliverance and for consolation (Amen), for livelihood and for sustenance (Amen), for good life and for peace (Amen), for the forgiving of sin and the pardoning of wrongdoing (Amen); for You have chosen Your people Israel from all the nations, and established for them the statutes for Rosh Chodesh days. Blessed are You, Lord, who sanctifies Israel and the Rosh Chodesh days. Look with favor, Lord our God, on Your people Israel, and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to Your Sanctuary, and accept with love and favor Israel’s fire-offerings and prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor. May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, Lord, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion. Bow at We thankfully acknowledge; straighten up at Lord.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted, and extolled forever and all time.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a good life for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)
