All of Avinu Malkeinu. I daven it out loud and literally can’t hold back tears when I say it.

Unasanah tokef, By neilah of Yom Kippur even though I'm in tremendous physical pain from fasting by then, I usually break down in tears when I say or hear the Chazan say Yachbi’einu tzeil yado tachas kanfei ha-shechinah...somehow just from typing this alone the tears are flowing... and I don't cry easily.

Hamelech yosheiv…
I like to think about how great any mighty hashem is… yet he takes care of every little detail in our lives with such love.

I love being able to hear the Baal tefila for Shacharis scream “hameeeeleeech” to begin his tefila
That and the “hineni he’ani” from the mussaf Baal tefila

I switch off with a neighbor for the tefilos, I am so lucky to be able to make it!

So many!
Here's one I love: anu amecha. Find the first time it's said in the ArtScroll machzor and you'll see a beautiful vort from the Berditchever on "anu mela'ai avon."

At the end of מוסף -
היום תאמצנו etc...

In the shul I davened the שליח ציבור says it line by line and the crowd answers a fervent אמן and then sings in between each line.
Even if I haven't shed a single tear all day that makes me break down.

So many!

Birchas kohanim touches my heart in a way that most tefillos don't. There's something so beautiful and humbling about a part of klal yisroel bentching the rest of us.

Same here! I'm really not a crier but even just recalling the intense emotional atmosphere at Ne'ilah can make me tear up at any random point during the year... It's like we throw away all our pretenses and defenses at that point and just beg Hashem to have Rachmanus like a father to his children...

This is course too! I haven't been in shul for נעילה in over a decade but I do try to say some parts at home. Just the thought of having this bonus tefiilah is so emotional and moving.
