(1) This unique and moving prayer is recorded as having been recited by Rabbi Akiva. The Talmud (Taanis 25b) relates that Rabbi Eliezer once stepped down before the Ark and recited the 24 benedictions for fast days and his prayers were not answered. Rabbi Akiva stepped down after him and exclaimed, “Our Father, our King, we have no king except You. Our Father, our King, for Your sake have mercy on us,” and rain fell. This prayer is recited during Neilah even if Yom Kippur falls on the Shabbos.

(ו) וַיַּעֲבֹ֨ר ה' ׀ עַל־פָּנָיו֮ וַיִּקְרָא֒ ה' ׀ ה' אֵ֥ל רַח֖וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן אֶ֥רֶךְ אַפַּ֖יִם וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת ׀ (ז) נֹצֵ֥ר חֶ֙סֶד֙ לָאֲלָפִ֔ים נֹשֵׂ֥א עָוֺ֛ן וָפֶ֖שַׁע וְחַטָּאָ֑ה וְנַקֵּה֙
The LORD passed before him and proclaimed: “The LORD! the LORD! a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness,extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He does not remit all punishment,
The Chazzan says the following once, and is repeated by the congregation:
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ה' אֱלֹקֵֽינוּ
ה' אֶחָד:
Hear Yisrael, Adonoy is our God,Adonoy is One.
It is written that when we recite this verse, every Jew should have the intention of giving up his or her soul for the sanctification of G‑d's name, and this intention will be considered as if we have indeed withstood the test to sanctify the Divine Name.
The Chazzan says the following three times, and is repeated by the congregation
בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם
כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹלְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
Blessed [is His] Name,Whose glorious kingdom, is forever and ever.Clearly, we cannot fathom the ultimate greatness of Hashem and we can only catch a glimpse of Hashem through his creations. This means that we know that Hashem has created us and watches over us but we can never fathom or understand the exact reality that is Hashem. He will be our king for ever!
The Chazzan says the following seven times, and is repeated by the congregation
ה' הוּא הָאֱלֹקִים
Hashem, He is God
- first recited at Mt. Carmel by the prophet Elijah
