inserts the Aneynu ("Answer us") prayer in the repetition of the Amida or
Shmona Esrey. The morning service includes the standard Torah reading for
a public fast day Exocius 32:11-14 and 34:1-10). Three persons are
called up. At points in the reading, the congregation recites aloud certain
verses that are repeated by the Torah reader. In the afternoon
service, the cantor again inserts Aneynu in the Arnida, but each worshiper
also inserts Aneynu in his or her silent recitation of the Amides. The service

again includes the Torah reading, but the third person called up also reads
the haftorah (Isaiah 55:6-56:8).
