HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YOM KIPPUR PRAYERS
PRAYERS OF REPENTENCE
Yom Kippur is designated as a day set aside for repentence
Specific prayers
that help us confess our sins are included in the Shemoneh Esrei
& are said again when the Chazan
repeats the Shemoneh Esrei
- 'Ashamnu' - we take our fist & pound on our heart for each word
- 'Al Chet' - we also take our fist & pound on our hear for each 'Al Chet' phrase
♦♦♦♦♦
PRAYERS OF FORGIVENESS
- 'Shma Koleinu' is led by the Chazan in his repetition of the Shmona Esrei
- 'Avinu Malkenu' which is normally said 4 times on Yom Kippur, is only said at the last service
of Yom Kippur - Ni'ilah - because Yom Kippur falls on Shabbas.
