Ne'ila

Neilah marks the fifth Amidah of Yom Kippur, the only such occasion in the Hebrew calendar in which there are so many services.

In the Ashkenazic and Hassidic rites, Ne'ila begins with Ashrei and Uva L'Tzion, both of which are postponed from Mincha, when they are normally recited on Shabbat and Festivals.

This is followed by Amidah with Selichot and an abbreviated Vidui; in the Ashkenazic rite, it concludes with Avinu Malkeinu.

At the end of the service, the shofar is blown, and in the Eastern Ashkenazic rite L'Shana Haba'ah is recited (sometimes sung).

In the Eastern Ashkenazic rite, the ark (Aron Kodesh or Hechal) remains open during the leader's repetition of the Ne'ila Amidah, and it is traditional to stand throughout the service.
