R. Gamliel diz: Um recita dezoito bênçãos (shemoneh esreh) todos os dias. R. Yehoshua diz: O que é semelhante a dezoito bênçãos. [Na gemara, alguns explicam que ele recita cada uma das bênçãos do meio em resumo e conclui com as bênçãos de cada uma; e outros, que ele diz: "Faça-nos, ó Deus, conhecer os seus caminhos" (havineinu), que é uma bênção que resume todas as bênçãos do meio do shemoneh esreh, e ele conclui: "Bem-aventurados vocês , Ó Senhor, que ouve a oração. "] R. Akiva diz: Se (o shemoneh esreh) é" habitual "em sua boca, [se ele é" ensinado "e fluente nela], ele recita shemoneh esreh ; caso contrário, ele recita o que é semelhante a ele. [E a halachá está de acordo com R. Akiva, que, se alguém não é fluente ou pressionado, ele recita as três primeiras bênçãos e a última, e "Havineinu" no meio, Havineinu resumindo todas as bênçãos do meio (com exceção da estação das chuvas, quando ele não recita Havineinu, sendo necessário recitar o pedido de chuva nas bênçãos dos anos; e com exceção da conclusão dos sábados e festivais, quando ele deve recitar havdalah em chonen hada'ath.]

Eighteen Berachot (blessings) that the Sages have established [for the prayer of Shemoneh Esreh have been established] corresponding to eighteen mentionings [of God’s name] that are in [the chapter of Tehillim that begins with] “Ascribe to God, children of princes…” (Tehillim 29) And [a person] should include [the Beracha against] the heretics into [the Beracha] for the Rabbinical Jews, and [the Beracha] for the converts into [the Beracha] for the elders, and [the Beracha] for [King] David into [the Beracha] for [the rebuilding of] Jerusalem. But if he said each one of them separately he has fulfilled his obligation [of praying Shemoneh Esreh].
