Ashrei, La-menatze\u2019ach, and U-va Le-Tziyon"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>After <em>Ta\u0125anun<\/em>, and on Mondays and Thursdays following the Torah reading, men regularly recite three prayers. The first is <em>Ashrei<\/em> (<em>Tehilla Le-David<\/em>). Although this prayer was already recited in <em>Pesukei De-zimra<\/em>, it is repeated because of its considerable significance (<em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em>, 23:1-2 and ch. 14 n. 5 state that men recite <em>Ashrei<\/em> thrice daily).<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, we recite the psalm \u201c<em>La-menatze\u2019a\u0125 mizmor le-David<\/em>,<em> ya\u2019ankha Hashem be-yom tzara<\/em>\u201d (\u201cFor the One Who grants victory, a psalm of David. May God answer you on the day of distress\u201d; Tehilim 20), which serves as a continuation of <em>Ta\u0125anun<\/em>. Since <em>La-menatze\u2019a\u0125<\/em> invokes the day of distress, it is not recited on days of joy (as listed in <em>siddurim<\/em>; the differences in customs are clarified in <em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em> 23:1).<\/p>\n<p>After that, <em>U-va Le-Tziyon<\/em>, also called <em>Kedusha De-sidra<\/em>, is recited. It contains the verses \u201c<em>Kadosh<\/em>,<em> kadosh<\/em>,<em> kadosh<\/em>\u2026\u201d (Yeshayahu 6:3), \u201c<em>Barukh kevod Hashem mi-mkomo<\/em>\u201d (Ye\u0125ezkel 3:12), and \u201c<em>Hashem yimlokh le-olam va\u2019ed<\/em>\u201d (Shemot 15:18). The uniqueness of this <em>Kedusha<\/em> is that the verses are recited along with their Aramaic translations. The Sages ordained their recitation (even though they were already recited in <em>Yotzer<\/em> <em>Or<\/em> and in <em>Kedusah<\/em> of <em>\u0124azarat Ha-shatz<\/em>) so that every person praying would learn some verses of the Prophets every day. The verses are translated into Aramaic, so that the whole nation, which was fluent in Aramaic at that time the prayer was ordained, would understand their meaning.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for instituting the recitation of verses from the Prophets is so that men, who are commanded to study Torah, to learn verses of Torah, the Prophets, and the Sages every day. By reciting <em>Shema<\/em> they study Torah, by reciting these verses of <em>Kedusha<\/em> they study the Prophets, and rabbinic teachings are added at the end of the prayer service.<\/p>\n<p>The Sages offer great praise for the recitation of <em>Kedusha De-sidra<\/em>, stating that after the destruction of the Temple, it became one of the things in whose merit the world stands (<em>Sota<\/em> 49a). Rashi explains that its recitation possesses two virtues: it is a form of Torah study, and its verses deal with God\u2019s holiness, so when they are recited in a <em>minyan<\/em>, God\u2019s name is publicly sanctified. There is no need to say <em>Kedusha De-sidra<\/em> in <em>Sha\u0125arit<\/em> of Shabbat since one\u2019s obligation to study words of the Prophets has already been fulfilled by reading the <em>haftara<\/em>. Nevertheless, to avoid canceling its recitation altogether, it became customary to recite it before <em>Min\u0125a<\/em>, thus adding extra Torah study on Shabbat, particularly study that pertains to God\u2019s holiness (see <em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em> 23:2).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Ta\u0125anun, and on Mondays and Thursdays following the Torah reading, men regularly recite three prayers.
