(Exodus 30:17-21) And Adonoy spoke to Moses to say: Make a copper laver and a copper base, for washing; and place it between the Tent of Meeting and the Altar, and put water in it. Aaron and his sons will wash from it, their hands and their feet.¹ Upon entering the Tent of Meeting they will wash with water that they not die, or whenever they approach the Altar to serve, to burn a fire-offering to Adonoy. They will wash their hands and feet that they not die; and this is for them a perpetual statute for him [Aaron], and his descendants for all their generations.

footnotes: ¹ His right hand was held above his right foot, the left hand above the left foot and all were washed simultaneously.—Maseches Zevachim 59

(Numbers 28:1-8) And Adonoy spoke to Moses to say: Command the Children of Israel,¹, under which representatives of all 12 tribes were always present when these sacrifices were offered. These representatives were rotated each week. and say to them: My offering, My food, to be consumed by My fires, a pleasing odor to Me, You shall be diligent to bring unto Me, at its fixed time. And you will say to them: This is the fire-offering that you will bring unto Adonoy: [male] lambs, in their first year, without blemish, two [of them] each day, as a constant burnt-offering. Offer one lamb in the morning, and the second lamb, offer in the afternoon. And a tenth of an ephah² is the equivalent of 43-⅕ eggs. of fine flour as a meal-offering, mixed with oil of crushed [olives] measuring one-fourth of a *hin.*³ is a liquid measure containing 12 logs, of which each log is approximately 6 eggs. [This is] a constant burnt-offering as offered at Mount Sinai for a pleasing odor, a fire-offering to Adonoy. And its libation will be a fourth of a hin for the one lamb; in the Holy⁴ [Sanctuary] you will pour out a drink-offering of strong wine to Adonoy. And the second lamb you will offer in the afternoon; as the meal-offering of the morning [together] with its libation, you shall offer a fire-offering of pleasing odor to Adonoy.

footnotes: ¹ Kohanim, Levites and Israelites were to be present at the offering of the two daily public burnt-offerings. The Sages instituted the program of Ma’amodos ² One-tenth of an ephah ³ The hin ⁴ On the Altar.

(Leviticus 1:11) And he will slaughter it on the north side of the Altar, before Adonoy; and Aaron's sons, the Kohanim, will sprinkle its blood all around the Altar.

You are Adonoy, our God, before Whom our fathers burned the incense of spices when the Holy Temple was standing, as You commanded them by the hand of Moses Your prophet, as it is written in Your Torah:

(Exodus 30:34-36) And Adonoy said to Moses, Take for yourself spices— stacte, onycha, and galbanum—¹ spices, and pure frankincense, [they] shall be in equal weights. You will make it into incense, a compound mixed by a compounder, salted,² is rendered by Onkelos as mixed, to indicate that the spices should be well mixed together.—Rashi undefiled, and holy. You will pulverize some of it very fine, and place it before the [Ark of] Testimony³ in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it will be to you holy of holies." It is also written:

footnotes: ¹ Galbanum has an offensive odor. The Torah includes it among the other spices to teach us to include even Jewish sinners among the rest of Jewry at our assemblies of fasting and prayers.—Rashi ² The Hebrew word, memulach ³ This incense was offered each day upon the Innermost Altar which is inside the Tent of Meeting.—Rashi

(Exodus 30:7-8) And Aaron shall burn upon it [the Altar] incense of spices every morning; when he cleans the lamps he will burn it. And when Aaron lights the lamps in the afternoon, he will burn it; a constant incense-offering before Adonoy throughout your generations.

(Maseches Kreisos 6a; Jerusalem Talmud, Maseches Yoma 4:5) The Rabbis taught: How was the incense compounded? Three hundred and sixty-eight manim⁴ is a weight; plural, manim. were comprised therein, three hundred and sixty-five corresponding to the number of days in the solar year, one maneh for each day— half in the morning and half in the afternoon. From the three remaining manim the Kohein Gadol brought two handfuls [into the Holy of Holies] on Yom Kippur; [for which purpose] they were put back into the mortar on the eve of Yom Kippur, and ground [again] very thoroughly, in order to make them very fine. Eleven kinds of spices were used for it. They were: 1) balm, 2) onycha, 3) galbanum, 4) frankincense— by weight, seventy maneh of each; 5) myrrh, 6) cassia, 7) spikenard and 8) saffron— in weight sixteen maneh of each; 9) twelve maneh of costus, 10) three of aromatic bark, and 11) nine of cinnamon. [Also used in the incense compound were:] Nine kabin⁵ is a sixth of a se’ah. of Carshina lye, Cyprus wine [measuring] three s'in and three kabin— if he had no Cyprus wine, he could use strong white wine— a fourth of a kab of Sodom salt, and a minute quantity of *maaleh ashan.*⁶ Rabbi Nosson of Babylonia says, Jordan amber was added of a minute quantity, and if one added honey,⁷ it (the incense) became unfit; and if one omitted⁸ any of its spices he was liable to the death penalty."⁹

footnotes: ⁴ A maneh ⁵ A kab ⁶ This herb causes the smoke of the burning incense to ascend in a straight line. ⁷ Included are various sweeteners such as dates and other fruits. ⁸ The same is true if one were to add to the prescribed number of eleven spices.—Etz Yosef ⁹ The death penalty was given only if the Kohein Gadol actually entered the Holy of Holies with incense which was unfit. This was considered as an unwarranted entry into the Holy of Holies which carried the death decree.—Rashi

Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balm is nothing but sap which drips from the balsam tree. the lye of Carshina was used for rubbing the onycha in order to refine its appearance. The Cyprus wine was used to soak the onycha to give it a pungent odor. Though the water of Raglayim¹⁰ was well suited for that purpose, they did not bring the water of Raglayim into the Temple because it would be disrespectful.¹¹ (lit., water from the feet) is a euphemism for urine, it would have been disrespectful to use this water in the Temple. Others hold that the term “waters of Raglayim” actually refers to urine, which could have been used as a soaking agent were it not indecent to bring it into a sacred place.—Kol Bo

footnotes: ¹⁰ 10 This water came from a well named Raglayim.—Kol Bo ¹¹ Since Mei Raglayim

It was taught in a Boraysa: Rabbi Nosson says, While [the Kohein] ground [the incense] he would say, ‘Hodeik heiteiv, heiteiv hodeik,' because the sound¹² is good for the spices. If half¹³ instead of 368. the quantity of incense was prepared it was acceptable, but if only a third or a fourth [of it was prepared] we have not heard¹⁴ [whether it was acceptable."] Rabbi Yehuda said, This is the general rule: If [it was prepared with all its ingredients] in the correct proportion, it is acceptable even if only half was prepared; but if he left out any of its spices, he was liable for the death penalty.

footnotes: ¹² Some suggest that the sound of these specific words affects the spices. ¹³ 184 manim ¹⁴ I.e., we did not hear our teachers expound this question.

It was taught in a Boraysa: Bar Kappara says, Once in sixty or seventy years¹⁵ from which he took two handfuls each Yom Kippur. the accumulated surplus was sufficient to provide half [the yearly quantity of incense."] Bar Kappara also taught, If he would have put into it a minute quantity of honey, no one could have withstood [resisted] the scent. Why was no honey mixed with it? Because the Torah says, (Leviticus 2:11) For any leaven or honey, do not burn from them, [as] a fire-offering to Adonoy.

footnotes: ¹⁵ The exact number of years varied with the size of the hands of the High Priests over the years, for the surplus was what remained of these three manim

Please, by the force of Your great right hand, release the bound one. Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One! Please! Mighty One, those who seek Your Unity, preserve them like the pupil [of Your eye]. Bless them, purify them, have compassion on them; Your benevolent righteousness [may You] always bestow upon them.

Fortunate are those who dwell in Your house; may they continue to praise You, Selah. Fortunate is the people whose lot is thus; fortunate is the people for whom Adonoy is their God. A praise by David! I will exalt You, my God, the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You and extol Your Name forever and ever. Adonoy is great and highly extolled, and His greatness is unfathomable. One generation to another will praise Your works and Your mighty acts they will declare. The splendor of Your glorious majesty, and the words of Your wonders I will speak. Of Your awesome might, they will speak and Your greatness I will recount. Mention of Your bountifulness they will express, and in Your righteousness joyfully exult. Adonoy is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in kindliness. Adonoy is good to all, His mercy encompasses all His works. All Your works will thank You, Adonoy, and Your pious ones will bless You. Of the honor of Your kingship, they will speak and Your might they will declare. To reveal to men His mighty acts, and the glorious splendor of His kingship. Your kingship is the kingship for all times, and Your dominion is in every generation. Adonoy supports all the fallen, and straightens all the bent. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at its proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living being.

The will of those who fear Him He fulfills; He hears their cry and delivers them. Adonoy watches over all those who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked. Praise of Adonoy, my mouth will declare, and all flesh will bless His holy Name forever and ever. And we will bless God from now on forever. Praise God.

The Redeemer shall come to Zion and to those of Jacob who repent from sin, says Adonoy. As for Me, this is My covenant with them, said Adonoy: My spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your children, nor from the mouth of your children's children, said Adonoy— from now to eternity.

And a wind lifted me; and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing; Blessed is the glory of Adonoy from His place.⁷ And a wind lifted me and I heard behind me a sound of a great rushing of those who uttered praises and said, ‘Blessed is the glory of Adonoy from the place, the abode of His Divine Presence. Adonoy will reign forever and ever.⁹ Adonoy, His kingdom is established forever and to all eternity.

Jacob epitomized Torah, which is the ultimate truth; Isaac personified Divine service in his readiness to be offered as a sacrifice to God; and Abraham exemplified the ideal and practice of kindliness throughout his life. We thus pray to be granted a share in the Divine truth of Torah in Jacob's merit, and to receive God's kindliness in Abraham's merit. as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.¹⁶ 7:20.

And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river.” See Genesis 20:13 as interpreted by Onkelos. and gave us the Torah of truth, and eternal life He implanted within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and awe of Him, to do His will and serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not labor in vain nor bring forth that which causes dismay.²⁴ and have a lasting influence on our lives.—Siddur HaGra May it be Your will, Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, that we keep Your statutes in this world, and [thus] be privileged to live and behold, and to inherit the goodness and blessing of the Messianic days, and in the life of the World to Come. In order that my soul sing to You and not be stilled; Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You.²⁵ Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonoy,²⁶ so that Adonoy is his security.²⁷ Trust in Adonoy until the end of days, for in God, Adonoy, is the strength of the worlds.²⁸ And they will trust in You— those who know²⁹ your Name, for You have never forsaken those who seek You, Adonoy.³⁰ Adonoy desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and to glorify it.³¹

(Adonoy, our Master, how mighty is Your Name over all the earth. Be strong and take courage, all who wait for Adonoy.)

The Chazzan recites the following Kaddish:

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world which He created according to His will and may He rule His kingdom bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming if His Messiah in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and in the near future— and say Amein.

May His great Name be blessed forever and for all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified, and exalted and uplifted, honored and elevated and extolled be the Name of the Holy One, blessed is He; above (Ten Days of Penitence: far above) all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations which we utter in the world—and say Amein.

But as for me, may my prayer to You, Adonoy, be at a favorable time; God, in the abundance of Your kindness, answer me with the truth of Your deliverance.¹⁰

footnotes: ¹⁰ Psalms 69:4.

When the Holy Ark is opened, the following is said:

Whenever the Ark traveled, Moses would say: "Rise, Adonoy and let Your enemies be scattered, and those who hate You, flee before You." For from Zion will go forth the Torah, and the word of Adonoy from Jerusalem. Blessed is He Who gave the Torah to His people Israel in His holiness.

Blessed is the Name of the Master of the universe. Blessed is Your crown and Your place. May Your good will [be] with Your people Israel forever. The redemption of Your right hand show Your people in Your Holy Temple. Bestow on us Your excellent light, and accept our prayer with compassion. May it be Your will to prolong our lives in well-being. Let me be counted among the righteous, so that You will have compassion on me and protect me and all that is mine, and all that belongs to Your people, Israel. You are He Who nourishes all and maintains all; You are He Who rules over all; You are He Who rules over kings, and the kingdom is Yours. I am a servant of the Holy One, blessed is He, I bow before Him and before the honor of His Torah at all times. Not in man do I put my trust, nor do I rely on any angel; but only in the God of heaven, Who is the true God, Whose Torah is truth, Whose prophets are true, and Who performs many deeds of goodness and truth. In Him I put my trust and to His holy, honored Name I utter praises. May it be Your will to open my heart to Torah, and to fulfill the desires of my heart, and of the heart of Your people Israel, for goodness, for life, and for peace.

The Chazzan says: Declare the greatness of Adonoy, with me. and let us exalt His Name together.

The Congregation responds: Yours, Adonoy, is the greatness, the might, the glory, the victory, and the beauty, for everything in heaven and on earth [is Yours]; Yours, Adonoy, is the kingdom, and You are uplifted over all rulers. Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool, Holy is He. Exalt Adonoy, Our God, and prostrate yourselves at His holy mountain for Adonoy, our God, is holy.

May the Father of mercy have compassion on the people borne² See Isaiah 46:3, “Israel which are borne by Me from the belly, which are carried by Me from the womb.” by Him, and may He remember the covenant with the patriarchs; may He rescue our souls from evil times; and may He rebuke the evil impulse from those who have been carried³ See Isaiah 46:3, “Israel which are borne by Me from the belly, which are carried by Me from the womb.” by Him; and may He graciously grant us eternal survival; and fulfill our requests in beneficent measure, [for] deliverance and compassion.

When the Torah is unrolled, the Reader says: May His sovereignty be revealed and visible to us, soon; and may He be gracious to our remnant and the remnant of His people, the House of Israel [granting them] favor, kindness, compassion and goodwill. And let us say Amein. Let all ascribe greatness to our God, and give honor to the Torah. Let the Kohein come forward. Arise, ______ son of _____, the Kohein, Blessed is He Who gave the Torah to His people, Israel, in His holiness.

The Congregation responds: And you who cling to Adonoy, Your God, are all alive today.

The Kohein¹ walks up to the Torah and says: Blessed Adonoy, who is blessed.

footnotes: ¹ The following blessings are recited by every person called to the Torah.

The Congregation responds and the Kohein repeats: Blessed is Adonoy, Who is blessed, forever and ever.

The Kohein says: Blessed are You, Adonoy our God, King of the Universe, Who chose us from among all the peoples and gave us His Torah. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Giver of the Torah.

After the Torah is read, the Kohein says: Blessed are You, Adonoy our God, King of the Universe Who gave us the Torah of truth, and implanted eternal life within us. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Giver of the Torah.

Rav says, (Maseches Berachos 54) that four are obligated to offer thanks: persons who have safely completed a sea or land journey, or who have recovered from a serious illness, or have been released from captivity. One who is obligated to recite the blessing of thanksgiving should do so at the Torah-scroll after the blessing that follows the Torah reading. It is proper not to delay the recital of the blessing for more than three days.

Blessed are You, Adonoy our God, King of the Universe, Who bestows goodness upon the guilty, Who has bestowed every goodness upon me.

The congregation responds: He Who has bestowed goodness upon you, may He bestow every goodness upon you, forever.

Blessing by the father of a Bar Mitzvah

The following blessing is said by the father of a Bar Mitzvah, after the lad has been called to the Torah and has recited the blessing following the reading:

Blessed (are You) who has released me from the punishment¹ the father is no longer responsible for their sins. Why then is this Beracha recited at the time of Bar Mitzvah? The Dover Meisharim, cites sources stating that on the contrary, children sometimes perish because of their fathers׳ sins. The fathers, in turn, are punished for causing the untimely deaths of their young children. Thus when they reach thirteen and are no longer liable for their fathers’ sins, the fathers too are released from the punishment they could have received for causing their children to perish. The Beracha is therefore recited at the Bar Mitzvah when the son becomes fully independent of his father. of this [boy].

footnotes: ¹ The father is liable for the sins of his children only until they have been taught and trained to perform and observe the mitzvos. Once they have reached this level, even though they are not yet thirteen years of age,

When the reading of the Torah is concluded, the Half Kaddish is recited by the Reader. The Torah is then raised so that the congregation can see the script, and the congregation exclaims:

This is the Torah which Moses placed before the children of Israel. at Adonoy's command by the hand of Moses. It is a tree of life to those who grasp to it, and those who support it are fortunate. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. Long life is at its right, at its left, riches and honor. Adonoy desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and to glorify it.

Praise God. I will thank Adonoy with all my heart, in the council of the upright and in the congregation. Great are the works of Adonoy; available to all who desire them. Beauty and splendor is His work, and His righteousness endures forever. He made a memorial for His wonders, gracious and merciful is Adonoy. He gave food to those who fear Him; He is ever mindful of His covenant. The power of His works He has declared to His people, to give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of His hands are truth and justice, faithful are all His precepts. They are established forever, for eternity; they are achieved in truth and uprightness. Redemption He sent to His people, He commanded His covenant for eternity; holy and awe-inspiring is His Name. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Adonoy, good understanding to all who perform [His commandments], His praise endures forever.

Psalm 112 This Psalm lauds the man who truly fears God and whose utmost desire is to fulfill His commandments. Praise God. Fortunate is the man who fears Adonoy; His commandments, he greatly desires. Mighty upon the earth will be his seed, a generation of the upright who will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. He causes to shine in the darkness a light for the upright [for He is] gracious, compassionate and righteous. Good is the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. For he will never be moved, as an everlasting remembrance will the righteous remain. He will not fear evil tidings, steadfast is his heart, trusting in Adonoy; His heart is steadfast, he will not fear, even before he sees his adversaries' [downfall] [Widely distributed charity] he dispersed to the needy; his righteousness endures forever, his horn will be exalted with honor. The wicked will see it and be angered, he will gnash his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked will perish.

The Chazzan takes the Torah and says: They will praise the Name of Adonoy for His Name alone is exalted.

The congregation then says: His majesty is over the earth and the skies. He will raise the might of His people, [which is] praise for all His pious ones, for the children of Israel, the people near to Him.

Praise God. A psalm of David: the earth is Adonoy's and the fullness thereof, the inhabited world and those who dwell in it. For He founded it upon the seas, and established it upon rivers. Who may ascend the mountain of Adonoy, and who may stand in the place of His holiness? The clean of hands and the pure of heart, who has not borne My soul in vain, and has not sworn deceitfully. He will bear Adonoy's blessing and righteousness from the God of his deliverance. This is the generation of those who seek Him, the seekers of Your Presence, [God of] Jacob, selah. Lift up your heads, gates, and be uplifted [you] entranceways to eternity, so that the King of Glory may enter. Who is this King of Glory? Adonoy, strong and mighty; Adonoy, the Mighty One in battle. Lift up your heads, gates, and lift up, entranceways to eternity, so that the King of Glory may enter. Who is He, this King of Glory? Adonoy of hosts, He is the King of Glory, selah.

As the Torah is returned to the Ark the following is said: And when it rested, he would say: Return, Adonoy, to the myriads and thousands of Israel. Arise, Adonoy unto Your resting place, You and the Ark of Your strength. Let Your priests clothe themselves in righteousness, and let Your devoted ones sing in joy. For the sake of David, Your servant, do not reject Your anointed. For I have given you good instruction, do not forsake My Torah. It is a tree of life to those who grasp it, and those who support it are fortunate. Its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace. Cause us to return to you, Adonoy, and we shall return; renew our days as of old.

The Chazzan recites the following Kaddish:

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world which He created according to His will and may He rule His kingdom bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming if His Messiah in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and in the near future— and say Amein.

May His great Name be blessed forever and for all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified, and exalted and uplifted, honored and elevated and extolled be the Name of the Holy One, blessed is He; above (Ten Days of Penitence: far above) all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations which we utter in the world—and say Amein.
