Schochen Ad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schochen Ad , שׁוֹכֵן עַד (Eng. "He who remains forever" or "He who dwells in eternity" or "He who is enthroned") is a Jewish prayer , based on Isa 57.15  ELB .

background

In the Ashkenazi tradition ( Nusach Ashkenaz , Hebrew נוֹסַח אַשְׁכְּנַז) it is performed at the following times:

  • During the morning prayer ( Shacharit ) of Shabbat or Yom Tov (holiday) after singing the psalm ( Psuke desimra ).
  • To the seder .
  • On Shabbat, Schochen Ad marks the beginning of the service for the Chasan , according to Psuke desimra. This is considered a sign of the creation of the world in the following six working days of the week, followed by Shabbat as the day of rest.
  • At the pilgrimage festivals ( Schalosch Regalim ) the chasan begins the service with a verse from the Nishmat song.
  • To the Jamim Noraim ( Hebrew ימים נוראים"Days of Reverence"), so the New Year and the Festival of Atonement , the Chasan begins on the word Hamelech ( Hebrew המלך, the king). ( Hebrew הַמֶּלֶךְ יּושֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רָם וְנִשָּׂא)

In the tradition of Nusach sfarad ( Hebrew נוֹסַח סְפָרַד), an Eastern European rite followed mainly in Hasidism , Shav'at Aniyim (שַׁוְעַת עֲנִיִים, call of the poor) is performed instead.
