Ma’ariv for Motza’ei Shabbat Toldot
מַעֲרִיב לְמוֹצָאֵי שַׁבָּת תּוֹלְדוֹת

Maʿariv (מַעֲרִיב), also known as Arvit (עַרְבִית), is a Hebrew prayer service held in the evening or at night. It consists primarily of the evening Shema and Amidah.

Maariv is generally recited after sunset and according to some opinions should preferably be delayed until after nightfall. However, it may be recited as early as one and a quarter seasonal hours before sunset (according to some opinions, before nightfall). This is common only on Friday nights in order to begin Shabbat earlier. At the conclusion of Shabbat and on holidays, the service is usually delayed until nightfall. While Maariv should be prayed before midnight, it may be recited until daybreak or even sunrise.

During the Maariv service following Shabbat, several additions are made. A paragraph called " אַתָּה חונַנְתָּנוּ " is inserted into the fourth blessing of the Amidah. The recitation of this paragraph officially ends Shabbat. One who forgets to recite this paragraph may also end Shabbat through Havdalah or by saying the words "Blessed is He Who differentiates between the holy and the secular." In addition, Two sections of prayers, "וִיהִי נֹעַם" (the last verse from Psalm 90, followed by the full Psalm 91) and וְאַתָּה קָדושׁ (all but the first two verses of וּבָא לְצִיּון), are added to the service.

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלֹות הִנֵּה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה כָּל־עַבְדֵי יְהוָה הָעֹמְדִים בְּבֵית־יְהוָה בַּלֵּילֹֽות׃ שְׂאוּ־יְדֵכֶם קֹדֶשׁ וּבָרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה׃ יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה מִצִּיּוֹן עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ׃
“Behold, bless ye YAH, all ye servants of YAH, which by night stand in the house of YAH.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, & bless YAH.

YAH that made heaven & earth bless thee out of Tziyon!”
—Tehillim 134
