Avodah (Yom Kippur)

The Avodah (Hebrew: עֲבוֹדָה, lit. 'service') is a poetic description of the Yom Kippur Temple service. It is recited as part of the Mussaf service of Yom Kippur, and is often considered one of the most solemn and impressive portions of the Yom Kippur prayer service. Different poems (all sharing the same structure) are recited in different communities, for example Amitz Koach among most Ashkenazi Jews and Atah Konanta among most Sephardic Jews.
