In the
morning one says the tefilah which began, "God of my Soul, which you
have returned within me [mi Dio del alma que diste en mi]," (23) and
afterward [some Psalms of David], the Shemah Israel, and later the
Amidah . ``During the Amidah part of the
service, there are a lot of people bowing, and for different parts. That is why the original, determinative place for a Jew to recite
the formula of havdalah, of making this critical distinction, is not in
the Sabbath-ending ritual that is accompanied by wine, spices, and fire,
but in the Amidah prayer that is recited in the dusky silence just
before the ceremony, in the evening service on Saturday night. |
