In Jewish liturgy traditional and modern, "Amen" is used by the congregation to affirm and endorse the words spoken before in prayer. It is taught that he who told a public prayer, it is as if he had requested, provided that its amen is not too pressed (amen 'hatoufa, delivered before the end of the prayer) or orphan ( Amen Yatom, delivered too long after the conclusion of this one) . During a public prayer, it is necessary that at least nine people respond amen to the officiating without which his prayer is worthless.

Amen is pronounced "ah-men" by pronunciation Sephardic , "or Main" by pronunciation Ashkenazi.
