Where To Add Personal Requests in Amida
You may add personal requests to the amida on weekdays (not Shabbat or Jewish festivals) in these prayers:
-
For livelihood:
- In the amida's 9th paragraph (bareich aleinu), between mi'tuvecha and u'vareich shnateinu.
-
For a general request:
- In the amida's 16th paragraph (shema koleinu), before ki ata shomei'a.
- Even better, just before saying yihiyu l'ratzon.
Tein Bracha If in Eretz Yisrael Cheshvan 7/Dec. 4

- Then, add tein tal u'matar l'vracha in the 16th amida paragraph (shema koleinu) between al teshiveinu and ki ata shomei'a.
