It is interesting to note that it may just be that the only reason Vayechulu is repeated after [[Maariv]] all year long is simply to ensure that it be recited on a [[Yom Tov]] which would coincide with a [[Shabbat]], in which case the Vayechulu would not have been recited as part of the [[Maariv]] Amida.<ref>O.C. 268:7, Tosfot;Pesachim 106a</ref> Similarly, the recitation of Vayechulu at [[Kiddush]] is actually not truly required. Rather, it is recited for the benefit of those present who may not yet have heard or recited Vayechulu as is often the case by women and children who don't normally say the [[Maariv]] [[prayer]].<ref>Ibid. Ta'amei Haminhagim 289</ref> | It is interesting to note that it may just be that the only reason Vayechulu is repeated after [[Maariv]] all year long is simply to ensure that it be recited on a [[Yom Tov]] which would coincide with a [[Shabbat]], in which case the Vayechulu would not have been recited as part of the [[Maariv]] Amida.<ref>O.C. 268:7, Tosfot;Pesachim 106a</ref> Similarly, the recitation of Vayechulu at [[Kiddush]] is actually not truly required.

The Vayechulu that is recited following the [[Maariv]] Amida is to be recited standing, out loud, and in unison with the rest of the congregation.<ref>O.C. 268:7</ref> The purpose of this recitation of Vayechulu is to serve as a form of testimony, proclaiming our belief that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. As such, some authorities require it to be recited with at least another person,<ref>Mishna | The Vayechulu that is recited following the [[Maariv]] Amida is to be recited standing, out loud, and in unison with the rest of the congregation.<ref>O.C. 268:7</ref> The purpose of this recitation of Vayechulu is to serve as a form of testimony, proclaiming our belief that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh.

Another reason that Vayechulu is recited three times on Friday night is because the word "asher" appears three times. The word "asher" also appears 3 times in reference to the Para Aduma, red heifer. The rabbis derive form here that just as the Para Aduma brings forgiveness and purity, so too does the thrice recitation of Vayechulu.<ref>Kaf Hachaim 268:34</ref> | Another reason that Vayechulu is recited three times on Friday night is because the word "asher" appears three times.

It is recommended that one not overly prolong one's Amida in order to be able to recite Vayechulu with the congregation.<ref>Biur Halacha</ref> Other authorities are not too particular about reciting it along with someone else. According to this approach, if one missed the opportunity of saying Vayechulu along with the congregation then it is best recited alone afterwards.<ref>Chazon Ish O.C. 39:10, Kaf Hachaim 268:36</ref> Some authorities rule however that those praying alone should never recite Vayechulu after the Amida.<ref>Taz 268:5</ref> | It is recommended that one not overly prolong one's Amida in order to be able to recite Vayechulu with the congregation.<ref>Biur Halacha</ref> Other authorities are not too particular about reciting it along with someone else.

It is noted that reciting Vayechulu three times on Friday night contains within it deep kabbalistic secrets.<ref>Kaf Hachaim 268:33,35</ref> If one is in the midst of reciting the silent Amida when the congregation about to recite Vayechulu together, one should aim to recite the Vayechulu of one's Amida along with the congregation, if possible.<ref>Halichot Shlomo I 14:5, Tzitz Eliezer 14:24</ref> Talking during the public recitation of Vayechulu is strictly forbidden.<ref>O.C. 268:12, Mishna | It is noted that reciting Vayechulu three times on Friday night contains within it deep kabbalistic secrets.<ref>Kaf Hachaim 268:33,35</ref> If one is in the midst of reciting the silent Amida when the congregation about to recite Vayechulu together, one should aim to recite the Vayechulu of one's Amida along with the congregation, if possible.<ref>Halichot Shlomo I 14:5, Tzitz Eliezer 14:24</ref> Talking during the public recitation of Vayechulu is strictly forbidden.<ref>O.C. 268:12, Mishna Brurah 56:1</ref> | ||
