alenu(Hebrew: “it is our duty”) Opening words of a Jewish prayer recited at the end of the three periods of daily prayer since the Middle Ages. The first section is a prayer of thanks for Israel's being chosen for God's service; the second expresses hope for the coming messianic age. Though traditionally ascribed to Joshua, it is often credited to Abba Arika, a Jewish scholar in Babylonia in the 3rd century AD. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The siddur, to be sure, contains the fine phrase "to correct the world under God's kingship," but the alenu prayer in which the phrase occurs is anything but universalistic in its original formulation. It is, for example, unlike the Alenu prayer--which it otherwise resembles [25]--because it lacks such immediate and tangible entreaties as "Remove abominations from the earth," or "To turn all the wicked of the earth to You," or as in the prayer, "sanctify us in Your commandments," that follows "Rule over the world. In an earlier essay on "Jesus and the Jews" published in this journal in the summer of 1993, I concluded my study with a translation of the Alenu prayer which climaxes the Jewish worship service. |
