“Arriving is part of the prayer.”
Why it matters
The standing prayer is the heart of the service. The steps in are a way of leaving the noise behind before you begin.
How to do it
The Amidah is said standing, and begins with three steps forward — arriving, as it were, before speaking.
- Stand still for a breath.
- Take three small steps forward.
- Say the opening line quietly.
- Take three steps back.
Put these in order
Put the opening of the Amidah in order.
