Nusach Ashkenaz Siddur prayer book from Irkutsk, Russia, printed in 1918

Most of these are slight differences in the wording of the prayers ; for instance, Oriental Sephardic and some Hasidic prayer books state " חננו מאתך חכמה בינה ודעת ", " Graciously bestow upon us from You wisdom ( ḥochmah ), understanding ( binah ) and knowledge ( daat )", in allusion to the Kabbalistic sefirot of those names, while the Nusach Ashkenaz, as well as Western Sephardic and other Hasidic versions retain the older wording " חננו מאתך דעה בינה והשכל ", " Graciously bestow upon us from You knowledge, understanding, and reason ".

While Nusach Ashkenaz does contain some kabbalistic elements, such as acrostics and allusions to the sefirot (" To You, God, is the greatness, and the might, and the glory, longevity ,..." etc.

The cantor then chants the passage beginning with the words Kol Nidrei with its touching melodic phrases, and, in varying intensities from pianissimo ( quiet ) to fortissimo ( loud ), repeats twice ( for a total of three iterations ) ( lest a latecomer not hear them ) the following words ( Nusach Ashkenaz ):

In the eleventh century Rabbi Meir ben Samuel ( Rashi's son-in-law ) changed the original wording of Kol Nidre so as to make the Nusach Ashkenaz version apply to the future instead of the past ; that is, to vows that one might not be able to fulfill during the next year.

** Nusach Ashkenaz, a style of Jewish religious service conducted by Ashkenazi Jews

Recently a few new Yekkish communities have been started in Israel by " Machon Moreshet Ashkenaz ," and one of the leading communities is K ' hal Adas Yeshurun of Jerusalem, which is running a " Nusach Project ", a project of preserving the special Yekkish melodies.

One is the style of a prayer service ( Nusach Teiman, Nusach Ashkenaz, Nusach Sefard or Nusach Ari ); another is the melody of the service depending on when the service is being conducted.

In 1803, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi compiled an authoritative siddur from the sixty siddurim that he checked for compliance with Hebrew grammar, Jewish law, and Kabbalah: this is what is known today as the " Nusach Ari ", and is used by Lubavitch Hasidim.

Those that use Nusach HaAri claim that it is an all-encompassing nusach that is valid for any Jew, no matter what his ancestral tribe or identity, a view attributed to the Maggid of Mezeritch.

Sephardim traditionally pray using Minhag Sefarad, which is quite similar to Nusach Edot haMizrach ( liturgy of the Eastern Congregations ).

He was the author of many works, and is best known for Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Tanya and his Siddur Torah Or compiled according to the Nusach Ari.

This accounts for the " Nusach Sefard " and " Nusach Ari " in use among the Hasidim, which is based on the Lurianic-Sephardic text with some Ashkenazi variations.

Hasidim did not follow the traditional Ashkenazi prayer rite, and instead used a rite which is a combination of Ashkenazi and Sephardi rites ( Nusach Sefard ), based upon Kabbalistic concepts from Rabbi Isaac Luria of Safed.

Nusach ( Hebrew: נוסח nosaħ, modern pronunciation nósakh or núsakh ), plural nuschaot or nusachim, is a concept in Judaism that has two distinct meanings.

This style of American-born Jewish music came to be known as " American Nusach.

Hasidim, though usually ethnically Ashkenazi, usually use liturgies with varying degrees of Sephardic influence, such as Nusach Sefard and Nusach Ari, in order to follow the order of the prayers set by Rabbi Isaac Luria, often called " Ari HaKadosh ", or " The Holy Lion ".

In the case of Nusach HaAri, however, many of these High Holiday piyyutim are absent: the older piyyutim were not present in the Sephardic rite, on which Nusach HaAri was based, and the followers of the Ari removed the piyyutim composed by the Spanish school.

Note that the term Nusach Sefard or Nusach Sfarad does not refer to the liturgy generally recited by Sephardim, but rather to an alternative Eastern European liturgy used by many Hasidim.

* Nusach Sefard or Nusach Ari ( Ashkenazi Chasidic rite, heavily influenced by the teachings of Sephardi Kabbalists )

** Nusach ha-Chida ( The Chidas rite, named after Rabbi Chaim Joseph David Azulai: often used by North African Jews )

** Nusach Livorno ( Sephardic rite from nineteenth-century editions printed in Italy, often used by North African Jews )

This is a variant of Nusach Sefard, used by Chabad Hasidim.

Over the last two thousand years, the various streams of Jews have resulted in small variations in the traditional liturgy customs among different Jewish communities, with each community having a slightly different Nusach ( customary liturgy ).

While some women in medieval Ashkenaz did wear tefillin, there is no evidence that Rashi's daughters did so.

In the earliest surviving references to it, the language is called ( loshn-ashknez = " language of Ashkenaz ") and ( taytsh, a variant of tiutsch, the contemporary name for the language otherwise spoken in the region of origin, now called Middle High German ).

The culture came to be called Ashkenazi, deriving its name from Ashkenaz (), the medieval Hebrew name for the territory centred on what is now the westernmost part of Germany.

Ashkenaz is the medieval Hebrew word for " Germany ", and is the umbrella term used to describe several Jewish populations, which used to live in Germania during the Middle Ages and until the modern times used to adhere the " Yiddish-culture " and the " Ashkenazi " prayer style.

Additionally, in Medieval Hebrew, Germany is known as Ashkenaz, and is the origin of the term Ashkenazic Jews.

The following provides the traditional Aramaic text, which ( except for the one line connecting one Day of Atonement to another, as noted ) is nearly identical in both Ashkenaz and Sefardic liturgies, with an English gloss.

This inscription dates from the 11th century and is found amongst the Hasidei Ashkenaz ( medieval German Jewish mystics ).

Eleazar of Worms ( אלעזר מוורמייזא ) ( c. 1176 – 1238 ), or Eleazar ben Judah ben Kalonymus, also sometimes known today as Eleazar Rokeach (" Eleazar the Perfumer " אלעזר רקח ) from the title of his Book of the Perfumer ( Sefer ha rokeah ספר הרקח )-where the numerical value of " Perfumer " is equal to Eleazar, was a leading Talmudist and mystic, and the last major member of the Hasidei Ashkenaz, a group of German Jewish pietists.

The theology of the Chassidei Ashkenaz is certainly independent and unique ; however, it does contain meaningful similarities to the theologies of both the early kabbalists and of Saadia Gaon.

What emerged for the Hasidei Ashkenaz is a tri-structured system.

Just like the unity of the sefirot is an indispensable concept in Kabbala, the inter-connectedness of the lower Kavod and higher Kavod is crucial for the Chassidei Ashkenaz.

For example, in various Chassidai Ashkenaz literatures, the Kavod is referred to by the names of Demut Yakov Chakuk al Kisai HaKavod, Tiferet Yisrael, Kruv, Kisai Hakavod, Atara, Shin, Bas, and Sod.

Sefer Chassidim, by Rabbi Judah the Pious, is the most important work of the Chassidei Ashkenaz.
