Corner Buckingham, 8 Blocks E. of Greenfield Mon. thru Sat. 10 to 4:30 "There are several var- iant forms of the nusah ha-tefillah — the prescribed order and text of the prayers. The most widely followed are Nusakh_ Ashkenaz, Nusakh Sepharad, the "P oilishe" Nusakh, Nusakh Teman and Nusakh Ari. The basic form and text of the prayers — having been formulated and ordained by the Anshei Knesset HaGedola (Men of the Great Assembly) and by the Sages of the Mishna and Talmud — is com- mon to them all; in this there is no disparity or divergence among them. "They vary only in detail, such as the order of some prayers, small differences in textual phraseology, and the omission or inclusion of some piyutim (liturgical hymns). "According to the Kabala, there are, in fact, 12 nus- khaot — one for each Tribe of Israel, in accordance with the unique and distinct spiritual quality of each. Similarly, there are in heaven 12 "gates" corre- sponding to the 12 Tribes. The prayersof each, teaches the Kabala, can ascend to heaven only 'through its particular gate and by means of its specific nusakh. "So too, the Zohar states, the 12 gates in the Temple court corresponded to the 12 Tribes. Upon each gate was inscribed the name of one Tribe. If a member of a par- ticular Tribe wished to enter the Temple court through the gate of his Tribe, he was able to do so. If, however, he attempted to go through a gate other thane his own, the door closed upon him and he could not pass through." In the Uforatzto Journal, organ of the Lubavitch movement, lengthy arti- cle, "A Ne* Translation — Who Needs It?" evaluates the new Siddur and Rabbi Mangel's two years of labors on the new translation and states: "After long years of an- ticipation and planning, and over two years of verit- able single-handed full time effort, the English transla- tion of the Lubavitch Siddur (Nusakh Ari) has finally been published.
