Is the additional (musaf) service compulsory?
Answer
Not at all. First, there are two versions of the Musaf Amida one short, one full. Moreover, it should be emphasized that the Musaf service of our Siddur does not convey the traditional yearning for the restoration of the Temple cult but rather looks forward, through prayer to a time when a restored Jerusalem will be a focal point and meeting place for all people to join in harmony.
