ʿAmidah (Heb., ‘standing’). A Jewish prayer consisting of eighteen
benedictions which is a core part of the structure of each of the three daily services. It is also known as the Shemoneh-Esreh (‘eighteen’) or, in
Talmudic sources, as
ha-tefillah (‘the prayer’). It is said standing (facing in the direction of Jerusalem), and is recited in different forms on weekdays,
Sabbaths, and
festivals.
