Parts of one form of this action are supposed to join together the 248 limbs of the divine body. People engaging in this action must not rely too much on keva and instead enter a heightened state of intention called kavanah. A passage about a “sign upon your hand and a symbol upon your forehead” inspired placing one object on the upper arm and forehead with a (*) leather strap during this action, (10[3])which is often done with closed eyes. The principal role of a hazzan (“HAH-zahn”) is to lead this action, which is described in the siddur. The Shema Yisrael (“shuh-MAH yeess-rah-ELL”) and Amidah are said in the morning, afternoon, and evening as part of this activity, during which tefillin (“tuh-FILL-in”) are usually worn. For 10 points, name this activity that requires a minyan for some types, such as the Kaddish. ■END■
