The Amidah — ”standing prayer” in English — is a central part of each of the three daily Jewish prayer services. It is also called Shemoneh Esrei, which means “18,” a reference to the fact that the prayer originally consisted of 18 blessings, though the rabbis later added an additional one. The Amidah can be broken down into three parts: praise, national and personal requests, and thanksgiving.
