Elokeinu VeElokai Avosainu (before Vayehi Achar)[Yeshiva 5780] The custom of saying ויהי אחר (the Akaida) every morning and it has a prefix (אלוקינו ואלוקי אבותינו) and a suffix (רבונו של עולם). These two are תחינות (begging (?)). This little paragraph comes from the Musaf of שמונה עשרה the end of ברכת זכרונות with some changes. We say this to remember זכות אבות and specifically the עקידה. We explore the details of this paragraph (also).
Elokeinu VeElokai Avosainu (before Vayehi Achar) Wednesday 19 MarCheshvan 5775/ November 12 2014. The Akaida is said everyday. For various reasons, before and after, we say a Prayer that comes from the Rosh Hashana Davening! The prayer before is amended (from the Rosh Hashana version) to underscore the theme of living as a Jew on a day to day level, rather than the sacrifice the Akaida conjures up, which is emphasized on Rosh Hashana.
