‫עדת מקרא אמת‬

Adath Miqra Emet

Individual Prayer (for use in the online community)

A brief on the Online prayer service.

This short prayer is to allow us to have a short prayer prior to Shabbat and to get more familiar with the
prayer service. This is a very abbreviated prayer that is not meant to replace Siddurrim for the Synagogue
or group prayer service. It is our goal to reach out to those who are not able to meet and provide a spiritual
break between the mundane (daily life) to the holy (Shabbat). The design is for this entire prayer to be
said in a short period while allowing participation.

The Adath Miqra Emet prayer service is interactive which means that there are sections that are said by
individuals and sections said by the group. The different sections are highlighted as such:

Normal Print: Hazzan

Bold Black: Entire Congregation
Blue: Individual

The primary language used in the prayer service is Hebrew, however the Individual portions may be said
in English for understanding by the reader.

The prayer service includes certain postures that can be done at home. During the service, there will be a
short pause to allow time to navigate the postures for those who will be prostrating during the service.

Standing Prostration Hands High

There are 2 Silent Meditations close to the end of the service. These are designed to allow for prayer for
oneself and to pray for others. There will be a pause in the service to accommodate this as well.
