The prayers of Rosh Hashanah carry particular weight, as the day is simultaneously the Day of Judgment and the day on which God is proclaimed King. The Chabad liturgy for Rosh Hashanah was established by [[the Alter Rebbe]] — Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad — and later refined by [[the Frierdiker Rebbe]] and [[The Rebbe]], and is printed in the Rosh Hashanah machzor (the holiday prayer book) published by [[Kehot Publication Society]]. Unusually, this day's prayers — as well as those of [[Yom Kippur]] — incorporate poetic liturgical compositions within the reader's repetition of the Amidah, which differs from the general Chabad practice throughout the year. | The prayers of Rosh Hashanah carry particular weight, as the day is simultaneously the Day of Judgment and the day on which God is proclaimed King.
