Barechu
Jewish call to prayer
Barechu (Hebrew: ברכו, also Borchu) is a part of the Jewish prayer service, functioning as a call to prayer. It is recited before the blessings over the Shema at Shacharit and Maariv, and before each aliyah in the Torah reading. Some congregations also recite it toward the end of both Shacharit and Maariv, for the benefit of those who arrived late to the service.[1]
