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. ]

Ash-rei  Yo-sh'vei  vei-te-cha,
od  y'ha-l'lu-cha,  se-la.

Ash-rei  ha-am  she-ka-cha  lo,

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.

Hodo Al Eretz

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
Ha-l'lu-Yah.

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,

Va-y'sha-beir  A-do-nai  et^ar-zei  ha-L'va-non.

Ya-chil  A-do-nai  mid-bar  Ka-desh.

A-do-nai  oz  l'a-mo  yi-tein
A-do-nai  y'va-reich  et^a-mo  va-sha-lom.



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.

Eits Chayim Hi

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, unless the congregation has deferred the Sermon and Announcements to this point. In that case, all will sit for the sermon, and rise again for the kaddish afterward.

HALF-KADDISH:

Stand, except for some Sephardic 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.)
b'al-ma  di-v'ra  chi-ru-tei,  v'yam-lich  mal-chu-tei

Remain standing for the Amidah which follows.
