The evening prayer for weekdays according to early Palestinian siddurim from the Genizah

Abstract

Ehrlich’s article deals with evening prayers (‘arvit) on weekdays according to ancient siddurim from the Land of Israel preserved in the Genizah. In his article he presents to the reader fourteen fragments of siddurim according to the ancient custom of the Land of Israel, to which he attaches for comparison and discussion another three Genizah fragments, in which the custom is a mixture of the custom of Babylonia and the custom of the Land of Israel. In his discussion, he comes to new conclusions about the structure of prayer and its development over the years.
