Prayer On Shabbat (Sabbath)

On the Sabbath, prayers are similar in structure to those on weekdays, although almost every part is lengthened. One exception in the Amidah, the main prayer, which is abridged.

Atypically, this middle blessing is different for each of the prayers.

    Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
    Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying.
