Weekly Tefilah Focus

Al kein n’kaveh l’cha Hashem Elokeinu lir’os m’heirah b’siferes uzecha

(Since You are the only power) therefore we hope and trust in You (to save us), Hashem Who takes special care of us, (and) to see, without delay, the glory of Your great strength…

We begin with a brief summary (from Yaaleh V’Yavo 5), from the beginning of Yaaleh V’Yavo until the point with which we ended in our last segment of Yaaleh V’Yavo:

We began Yaaleh V’Yavo with asking that our tefilos rise above the barriers and be accepted.

Having covered the first paragraph of Aleinu in the past, we now begin the second paragraph, starting with “Al kein n’kaveh” (nusach Ashkenaz) or “V’al kein n’kaveh” (nusach Sefard).

V’al nisecha…v’al nifl’osecha

…and for Your miracles … and for Your wonders…
