שְׁמֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן יְמִינֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה לְמַעַן תּוֹרָתֶךָ, עֲשֵׂה
לְמַעַן קְדֻשָּׁתֶךָ.3 יִהְיוּ לְרָצוֹן אִמְרֵי* פִי וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ,
יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִי:4

The individual's Amidah ends here.

THE REPETITION OF THE AMIDAH

During Shacharit and Minchah the chazzan repeats the Amidah, starting on page 331. The congregation must listen attentively to the chazzan and respond Amen at the conclusion of each blessing. If there are not at least nine men who respond Amen after the blessings, it is tantamount to a blessing in vain. It is proper to respond with "Boruch Hu u'Voruch Shemo" ("Blessed is He and Blessed is His Name") each time the chazzan says Blessed are You, Lord.
DURING MAARIV: on a weeknight—chazzan recites Complete Kaddish, followed by (the Counting of the Omer, page 136, and) It is incumbent, page 174.
On Friday night—continue with The heavens, page 172.
On the first two nights of Pesach—Hallel is recited at this point, page 307. When the first night of Pesach occurs on Friday night, the paragraph The heavens, page 172, is recited before Hallel.
On the eves of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah—chazzan recites Complete Kaddish, followed by (Kiddush, page 330, and) Hakafot, page 383. When Shemini Atzeret occurs on Friday night, continue with The heavens through Bless the Lord... (pages 172–174), followed by (Kiddush, page 330, and) Hakafot, page 383.
DURING SHACHARIT: Hallel is recited at this point, page 307.
DURING MINCHAH: chazzan recites Complete Kaddish, page 266.

YIZKOR—PRAYER FOR THE SOULS OF THE DEPARTED

On the last day of Pesach, on the second day of Shavuot, on Shemini Atzeret, and on Yom Kippur, Yizkor is said after the reading of the Torah. (When these days occur on Shabbat, it is said after May there come and May He who blessed, pages 230–231.)
It is customary for those whose parents are alive to leave the room for this prayer. One who is in the first year of mourning should remain in the synagogue, but not say Yizkor.
