Pronunciation
In the transliteration below, ' is used to indicate schwa, which is similar/equivalent to ; the middle word is aleph, and the glottal stop; and in the middle of the word ayinvoiced pharyngeal fricative similar/equivalent to Arabic. Anytime `
used, it refers to ayin, whether the word is initial, middle or final. 'H/h' is used to indicate both, the English h sound, as in "hat"; and ḥes, a voiceless pharyngeal fricative equivalent to Arabic. Whenever "ḥ" is used, it refers to et. Resch is represented by the letter "r", although it is equivalent to the Spanish "r", Spanish "rr" or French "r", depending on the dialect. In all other respects, the transliterations conform to Sephardi tradition, with modern pronunciation of Hebrew.

Amida
"Standing [prayer]", also known as Shemoneh Esrech
("Eighteen"), consisting of 19 stanzas on weekdays, seven on Saturdays and 9 on Rosh Hashanah Mussaf.
This is an important component of Jewish services, and is the only service that the Talmud calls prayer
. It is said three times a day (four times on Saturdays and holidays and five times on Yom Kippur). The source for the Amida either parallels the sacrifices in the Temple or in honor of the Jewish ancestors.
The prayer is divided into 3 parts: blessings of praise to God, requests for our needs (or exalting the sanctity of the day on Shabbat and Yom Tov), and finally blessings of thanksgiving.
Praise

| Gevurot | גבורות | The second blessing of Amida, describing God's power and God's dominion over the natural world. |
| Kedushat Hashem | קדושת ה ' | The third blessing of Amida, confirming the holiness of God. During the repetition of the Amida, Kedusha is added. |

The Lord's Prayer in Hebrew (in Russian letters)
When the opportunity arises to move to another country, it is better to first turn to the Lord, reading foreign prayer words, but in Russian letters. This helps to develop an understanding of pronunciation features. If you immediately try to pronounce foreign prayer words, obvious mistakes may occur. Because of this, turning to God is done with the wrong message. This will not shorten the distance between the person praying and God.

After washing but before drying the hands, the following blessing is recited.
