--- Quote from: Dr. Dan on February 21, 2011, 01:30:49 PM ---On the daily Amidah prayers after the Kedushah, there are additional prayers. Is it purposely done the specific order? If so, what's the reason behind it?

What do you mean by 'additional prayers?'
I'm not sure what you mean because shemona esray refers to 18. Kedusha is only at the 3rd prayer

after the kedusha, you have one prayer
then the second part where some jews beat their chest
then after that i get the order confused, but some prayers that ask for healing and the proper prayers for the land
and then after that a prayer for the righteous converts and to curse the informers
and then the kingdom of David and moshiach
and then shema koleinu etc...

What do we pray for in the Amidah?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
The Amidah (pronounced ah-MEE-dah) is the central, critical section of Shacharit, Musaf, Minchah and Ma'ariv prayers, around which the other sections were built. In the times of the Temples, when full Tefillah services were not required, tefillah consisted of the Amidah only. The Amidah, which means "standing" in Hebrew, is a series of 12 requests (it is now thirteen as enumerated later in the article**) of G-d recited silently while standing at attention, as if before a king, introduced by three praises of G-d and capped by three thank-yous. Because of the eighteen sections, the amidah is also known as the Shmoneh Esrei, meaning "eighteen" in Hebrew (although it's really nineteen, because of one extra request added later**).
[On Shabbat, holidays and Rosh Chodesh, the musaf Amidah is fewer than nineteen blessings. The first three and last three blessings are the same as all the other times the Amidah is recited, however, the middle changes as appropriate to the special date.]
The first and last three blessings of the Amidah offer praise and thanksgiving to G-d. The middle thirteen, are devoted to all our requests.
The following list (of the middle thirteen) describes the main point of each of these blessings:
4. Knowledge and intelligence.
5. Awaken us to repent.
6. Atonement.
7. Redemption.
8. Cures for our illnesses.
9. Livelihood.
10. Ingathering of the Diaspora.
11. Return of Jewish courts and justice.
12. Elimination of evil. **(This is the 19th blessing which was added later.)
13. Support and reward the righteous.
14. Rebuilding Jerusalem.
15. Restore the royal Davidic House.
16. General request for G-d to hearken to our prayers.
These prayers contain standard liturgy, but should be imbued with your personal feelings and desires as you adopt each word to be your own. If you would like to add your own words, find the blessing which is closest to the nature of your request, and insert your private prayer. If your request doesn't match any of the above blessings, you can always add it to blessing #16.
Dr. Dan:
I think it is in the Shema Kolanu when it gets to part al tishiveinu (don't leave us emptyhanded) where I quickly pray a request...

I daven with the Artscroll siddur... I really like Artscroll and I also use their Stone Chumash...
One of the 'instructions' which appear along with the davening in Amidah reads:
Some recite verses pertaining to their names at this point. See page 924.
This occurs between "My G-d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceit..." {Elohei} and "May the expressions of my mouth..." "Yehe Ratzon..."... Just before the final "Oseh Shalom" {when we bow and take three steps back}...
Looking at the notes on page 924 I find the following list of verses in the Torah which correspond to a persons name...
The heading reads:
Kitzur Shelah teaches that it is a source of merit to recite a scriptural verse symbolizing ones name before "Yehe LeRatzon" at the end of Shemoneh Esrei. The verse should either contain the persons name, or else begin and end with the first and last letters of the name...
In my case I recite "Mah Tovu Ohalecha Yaacov Mishkenatecha Yisroel" for my name...
