Minchah for Kippur

All are standing during Kaddish.

During the day, two men stand next to the Chazzan, called סמוכים (Semuchim). The Kohen or the oldest Samuch stands to the right of the Chazzan, the other Samuch stands to his left.

NN, tape 34 minutes 0:12 to 17:31. As e.g. the Vidui and Selichot repeat in all Tefillot, most parts are taken from other Kippur tapes (28-34). Some recordings are by NRP, AAV & JBS
When NN says “gemeente” (with “g” pronounced like Hebrew chet, “e” like shjeva and “ee” like tsere) he means that that part is said by the congregants.
Page numbers refer to the Minchah part, unless stated otherwise.
See the errata list of the Kippur book. See “Lach” vs “Lecha”

The יג מידות (Thirteen Attributes of Mercy) are recited in total 26 times (the count of י’ה’ו’ה), but these are printed only once each Tefilla. Therefore it is handy to have the text on a sheet.

Grayed areas indicate parts which are added on specific days. Follow hyperlinks for recordings.
