is recited in Aramaic, except in the Italian and Romaniote rites where it is recited in Hebrew (Kol Nedarim, Hebrew: כל נדרים). Its name "Kol Nidre" is taken from the opening words, and translates "All vows": <blockquote>All personal vows we are likely to make, all personal oaths and pledges we are likely to take between this Yom Kippur and the next Yom Kippur (in some versions: which we took between last Yom Kippur and this Yom Kippur), we publicly renounce. Let them all be relinquished and abandoned, null and void, neither firm nor established. Let our personal vows, pledges and oaths be considered neither vows nor pledges nor oaths.<ref>Translation of Philip Birnbaum, from High Holiday Prayer Book''', Hebrew Publishing Company, NY, 1951</ref></blockquote> The original texted of Kol Nidrei concludes: "as it says: 'May all the people of Israel be forgiven, including all the strangers who live in their midst, for all the people are in fault.'" In the Ashkenazic rite, the words 'as it says' were removed, so this verse became an independent recitation. If Torah scrolls were removed they are then placed back into the Ark and the Ark is closed. In some communities there is a brief sermon at this point, and the Yom Kippur evening service begins. Prayer services Many married Ashkenazi Orthodox men wear a kittel, a white robe-like garment for evening prayers on Yom Kippur, also used in Eastern European communities by men on their wedding day. They also wear a tallit (prayer shawl), which is typically worn only during morning services. Prayer services begin with the Kol Nidre prayer, which according to some needs to be recited before sunset. Kol Nidre is a prayer that dates back to 9th century Israel. It is recited in a dramatic manner, before the open ark, with the Ashkenazic melody that dates back to the 16th century. Then the service continues with the evening prayers (Ma'ariv or Arvit) and an extended Selichot service. All of the prayer services of Yom Kippur include litanies and petitions of forgiveness called piyyutim and selichot. Notable piyyutim include HaAderet v'HaEmunah and Mareh Kohen. The morning prayers are recited, followed by Torah reading, followed by an added prayer (Mussaf) as on all other holidays. This is followed by Mincha (the afternoon prayer) which includes a reading (Haftarah) of the entire Book of Jonah, which has as its theme the story of God's willingness
