PART IIX. THE MUSAF SERVICE --- PRAISE SECTION

     All transliterations Copyright © 1997 by Jordan Lee Wagner.

Ordinarily, services proceed in the order presented here.  But it is possible (on a regular Shabbat) to take a break before the Musaf Service.  If there will be a lengthy break between the Torah-Reading and the Musaf service, the Torah is put away before the break.  On returning to the synagogue for Musaf, the congregation begins Musaf here, with Ashrei followed by Half-Kaddish.

ASHREI (includes Psalm 145)

[Some congregations chant this responsively, Reader and congregation singing alternate sentences.]

This completes the Praise section of the Musaf service.  Before proceding to the half-kaddish that introduces the Amidah section of the Musaf service, we must finally part with the Torah.  (If there was no Torah-Reading for want of a minyan, skip to the Half-Kaddish.)   nadroj

PARTING WITH THE TORAH

This was deferred from the Torah-Reading Service.

The Reader takes the Torah.  Stand.

Y'ha-l'lu et sheim A-do-nai, ki nis-gav sh'mo l'va-do.

HO-DO AL^E-RETS v'sha-ma-yim
va-ya-rem ke-ren l'a-mo
t'hi-lah l'chawl cha-si-dav
li-v'nei Yis-ra-eil am k'ro-vo

Procession --- Havu L'Adonai (Psalm 29)

Some congregational tunes are designed for the congregation to sing all of the Psalm together, while other tunes use the following pattern:

Miz-mor l'Da-vid:
Ha-vu La-do-nai b'nei ei-lim
Ha-vu La-do-nai ka-vod va-oz
Ha-vu La-do-nai k'vod sh'mo
Hish-ta-cha-vu La-do-nai b'had-rat ko-desh.

Eil ha-ka-vod, hir-im,
A-do-nai al ma-yim ra-bim.
Kol A-do-nai ba-ko-ach
Kol A-do-nai be-ha-dar.
Kol A-do-nai sho-veir a-ra-zim
Va-y'sha-beir A-do-nai et^ar-zei ha-L'va-non.
Va-yar-ki-deim k'mo ei-gel
L'va-non, v'sir-yon
k'mo ven^r'ei-mim.
Kol A-do-nai cho-tseiv la-ha-vot eish.
Kol A-do-nai ya-chil mid-bar,
Ya-chil A-do-nai mid-bar Ka-desh.
Kol A-do-nai y'cho-leil a-ya-lot

The Torah is returned to the Ark

Uv-nu-cho yo-mar:
Shu-va, A-do-nai, ri-va-vot al-fei Yis-ra-eil.
Ku-ma A-do-nai lim-nu-cha-te-cha, a-tah va-a-ron u-ze-cha.
Ko-ha-ne-cha yil-b'shu tse-dek, va-cha-si-de-cha y'ra-nei-nu.
Ba-a-vur Da-vid av-de-cha, al ta-sheiv p'nei m'shi-che-cha.
Ki le-kach tov na-ta-ti la-chem, to-ra-ti al ta-a-zo-vu.

In many congregations, the congregation sings the rest of the prayer aloud together, starting here:  

Eits cha-yim hi
la-ma-cha-zi-kim ba
v'to-m'chey-ha m'u-shar.
D'ra-chey-ha, dar-chei^no-am
v'chawl^n'ti-vo-te-cha sha-lom.
Ha-shi-vei-nu A-do-nai ei-le-cha, v'na-shu-va
cha-deish ya-mei-nu k'ke-dem.

The Ark is closed.  Remain standing for the Half-Kaddish.

HALF-KADDISH:

Stand, except for S'fardic congregations.

[Some congregations treat this as a congregational half-kaddish, by chanting the purple text along with the Reader.]  

Yit-ga-dal v'yit-ka-dash sh'mei ra-ba, (A-mein.)

Remain standing for the Amidah which follows.  

This completes the Praise section of the Shabbat Musaf service.  You can return to the beginning of this section, or proceed to the Amidah section, or go to the Table of Contents.  If your browser supports navigational icons on its toolbar, you will find more options there.
