Exalted and sanctified¹. One should be very careful to emphasize the letter gimel (ג) when saying the word “Yisgadal (יִתְגַּדַּל),” in order that it not be heard as “Yis*k*adal (יִתְקַּדַל),” from the word קְדָל which means neck.—*Mishnah Berurah 56:2* be His great Name

¹ These opening words refer to the fulfillment of God’s prophecy, through Ezekiel (38:23) “And I will thus exalt Myself and sanctify Myself; and I will be known in the eyes of the many nations, and they will know that I am Adonoy.”—Levush, Siddur HaGra
