Kedusha

The Kedusha is traditionally the third section of all Amidah recitations. In the silent Amidah it is a short prayer, but in the repetition, which requires a minyan, it is considerably lengthier. The liturgy varies among different communities and during different services, but they all hold in common three lines from the Bible (though translations vary): Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh Adonai Tz'vaot Melo Kol Haaretz Kevodo ("Holy, Holy, Holy, The Lord of Hosts, The entire world is filled with His Glory"), Baruch Kevod Adonai Mimkomo ("Blessed is the Glory of the Lord in Its Place"), and Yimloch Adonai L'Olam, Elohayich Tzion Ledor Vador Halleluyah ("The Lord shall reign forever, You are God in Zion from generation to generation, Hallelujah")
