The Amidah in English

The Amidah, also known as the Shmoneh Esrei (“Eighteen” in Hebrew), is the central prayer of Jewish worship—recited three times daily by Jews around the world. Originally composed by the sages of the Great Assembly over 2,000 years ago, the Amidah is a series of blessings that express praise, petition, and gratitude to God. It is traditionally recited while standing in silent devotion, facing Jerusalem.
