The fundamentals of prayer \u2013 the elements instituted by the Men of the Great Assembly \u2013 such as <em>Birkhot Keri\u2019at<\/em> <em>Shema<\/em> and the <em>Amida<\/em>, the differences are very slight. Even the primary elements of <em>Korbanot<\/em> and <em>Pesukei De-zimra<\/em>, which were established during the time of the Talmud and the Ge\u2019onim, have only minor variations. The modifications are more noticeable, however, in the additions that accreted during the period of the Rishonim, such as in the full routine of <em>Korbanot<\/em> and in the concluding sections of the prayer service, differ greatly from one community to the next. What was added to the Sephardic liturgy was not necessarily accepted in Ashkenaz, and vice versa. This is especially apparent with regard to the liturgical poems composed during the time of the Ge\u2019onim and Rishonim and which were incorporated into the prayer service of the Days of Awe and festivals. Hence, we find major differences between the different prayer rites when it comes to the liturgical poems recited on the Days of Awe.<\/p>\n<p>There are also differences between various ethnic communities when it comes to pronunciation of both Hebrew consonants like <em>tzadi<\/em> and <em>kuf<\/em> and vowels like <em>kamatz<\/em> and <em>\u0125olam<\/em>. It is best that every Jew continue in her family\u2019s custom, for every extant Jewish tradition for pronunciation is valid for prayer (<em>Igrot Moshe <\/em>O\u0124 3:5; additionally, even the formula of the <em>\u0125alitza <\/em>ceremony, in which, according to all opinions, every letter must be enunciated, any community\u2019s pronunciation scheme is valid).<\/p>\n<p>Arizal explains the different prayer rites with a tradition that the heavens have twelve portals, corresponding to the twelve tribes of Israel. The prayers of each tribe ascended through its unique portal. This is the esoteric meaning of the twelve gates mentioned at the end of the book of Ye\u0125ezkel (<em>Sha\u2019ar Ha-kavanot<\/em> p. 50, 4). This is the practical <em>halakha <\/em>as well: every Jew must follow the custom of her forebears (MA 68:1; MB 68:4; below we will learn of the cases in which one may change one\u2019s <em>nusa\u0125<\/em>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following their exile and dispersion, Jews of different communities developed varying prayer rites.
