Ne\u2019ila<\/em>"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Sages instituted an extra prayer service near the end of the fast, for all who increase their prayers will be answered. If we have not managed to be answered through the regular prayers, perhaps an additional prayer will be answered. This service is referred to as Ne\u2019ila<\/em> because it is recited at the time when the gates of the Sanctuary were locked (ne\u2019ulim<\/em>) at the conclusion of the day\u2019s avoda<\/em>. The \u201clocking of the gates\u201d also corresponds to the closing of the gates of heaven. For at the end of the day, the sanctity of Yom Kippur recedes, and the gates of heaven, which were open to those who knocked through repentance, are locked.<\/p>\n

The time of Ne\u2019ila<\/em> is when the sun can be seen in the treetops in the west, approximately forty minutes before sunset. Those who wish to begin as much as an hour before sunset may do so. The \u1e25azan<\/em> must time his prayers so that Birkat Kohanim<\/em> can be completed before sunset (as explained in the previous section).<\/p>\n

Even though the gates of the Sanctuary were locked at sunset, the gates of heaven are locked only at the end of the day, after all light has vanished. Therefore, we continue reciting prayers and supplications until tzeit<\/em>. A \u1e25azan<\/em> who extends Ne\u2019ila<\/em> past tzeit<\/em> is not to be reprimanded.[16]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Ne\u2019ila<\/em> prayers differ from all other prayers recited during the Days of Awe; wherever we ask to be \u201cinscribed\u201d for good, we now ask to be \u201csealed,\u201d because now, at the end of Yom Kippur, our verdicts are being sealed. Nevertheless, someone who accidentally invoked \u201cinscribing\u201d instead of \u201csealing\u201d need not repeat the prayer.<\/p>\n

One should marshal all his strength for Ne\u2019ila<\/em>, for Yom Kippur is the culmination of the Ten Days of Repentance, and Ne\u2019ila<\/em> is the culmination of Yom Kippur. Everything leads up to the final verdict, so if not now, when? Therefore, even someone who is weak from fasting should summon his strength to pray with clear and pure focus, to resolve to repent and to increase his Torah study and mitzva observance (MB 623:3). Because Ne\u2019ila<\/em> is so important, it is customary to leave the ark open from the beginning of the repetition of the Amida <\/em>until the Kaddish<\/em> at the conclusion of the service (Mateh Ephraim<\/em> 623:7).<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n[16]<\/a>. Ne\u2019ila<\/em> was added whenever the Sages declared a fast due to drought or other calamities. However, Ne\u2019ila<\/em> was never recited on Tisha Be-Av, as Tisha Be-Av was instituted by the prophets.<\/p>\n

The Yerushalmi explains that according to Rav, Ne\u2019ila<\/em> refers to the locking of the gates of heaven and may be recited until dark. Moreover, according to Rav, one who recited Ne\u2019ila<\/em> need not recite Ma\u2019ariv<\/em> (Yoma<\/em> 87b). According to R. Yo\u1e25anan, though, Ne\u2019ila<\/em> refers to the locking of the gates of the Sanctuary and may be recited only until shki\u2019a<\/em> (y. Berakhot<\/em> 4:1). Most understand this to be because he maintains that one may recite Ne\u2019ila<\/em> at night. In practice, some rule in accordance with Rav that Ne\u2019ila<\/em> may recited until night (Roke\u2019a\u1e25<\/em>, Or Zaru\u2019a<\/em>, and Raavya), while many others rule in accordance with R. Yo\u1e25anan and limit the time to shki\u2019a<\/em> (R. \u1e24ananel, R. Yitz\u1e25ak ibn Gi\u2019at, Rambam, Maharam of Rothenburg, Ritva, and Mordekhai<\/em>). This is also the ruling of SA 623:2. Nevertheless, we do not object to a \u1e25azan<\/em> who extends the repetition of the Amida<\/em> of Ne\u2019ila<\/em> past tzeit<\/em>, as he has an opinion on which to rely (MB ad loc<\/em>. 2). See 6:3 n. 1 above, about how Ne\u2019ila<\/em> completes the atonement of Yom Kippur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
