Avinou Malkenou

Avinou Malkenou (אבינומלכנו " Our Father, our Roi") is a Jewish Prière particular with the Ten days of penitence, between the first day of the month of Tishri and the tenth, i.e. between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippour, two the days among most solemn of the Jewish Calendrier. It is made up of about thirty short petitions beginning all with Avinou, malkenou , from where its name.

She is recited immediately after the Répétition by the officiant of the 'Amida.

This prayer draws its origin, according to the Talmud (Taanit 25b), one period of Sécheresse, and that the Wise ones had issued a fast public.
Rabbi Eliezer left in the street the city in order to officer, but in spite of its prayers, the awaited Pluie S did not come. Rabbi Akiva, one of its disciples, replaced it, says only two sentences:

Our Father, our King, we have fault in front of Toi.
Notre Père, our King, we have of another King only You

, and it rained immediately. A celestial voice left the sky, and known as: " Why does this one (R. Akiva) have T it approved and that one (R. Eliezer, however known of its contemporaries as the Large one) it was not approved? Not because this one would be larger than that one, but because this one passes on its principles (forgives with which would have offended it) and that one does not pass on its principes."

The prayer being composed only of two sentences in the beginning, the others seem to be added time of the Gueonim.
