Our tradition is to teach that Judaism is the practice of worshipping the Divine in the present moment alone in everything, as if it is continuously being reborn without past nor future, Judaism is the reality that Everything is literally God, and when we remember God and God alone, we fulfil the meaning of life
Why do we not have faith, in God, that the word is true concerning Christ Jesus? Did Jesus not speak the truth concerning the kingdom of God? Is his message to love one another not of God? Is it not by his own words, and actions, that the prophecies of the old testament concerning the coming of the messiah, has come true in Jesus, when view in faith that God will not lead us astray?

@sonoftruth1 There are many many types of Siddurim. All "siddur" refers to is an order, an organized layout, of Jewish prayers. The layout of all "siddurim" are structured around the ancient tradition recorded in the Talmud -- most centrally: the recitation of Shema with the blessings of praises that come before and after the recitation of Shema. And the Shemone 'Ezra (aka "Amida") prayer. The structure of these two main parts of the Siddur date back to the time of Ezra the Scribe.
@omedyashar Aside from the Talmud's own testimony on the matter which isnt exactly objective (with all due respect to Rabbinic traditions), whats the non-Rabbinic evidence for tracing the structure of the Shemone `Esre and even more so the Shema` portion all the way back to `Ezra haSofer? Im aware of none but am open to learn.
Personally Ive gathered that the Shemone `Esre has its roots in ben-Sira's book (ca. 190 BCE) and was instituted by early rabbis after the Temple was destroyed in AD 70.
@sonoftruth1 ...HOWEVER, the bulk of what constitutes the majority of modern Siddurs are various rabbinic and scriptual selections organized according to more recent traditions (relatively speaking), dating mainly from around the Middle Ages and onward.
@sonoftruth1 it wasnt called the Siddur until around that time- but many of the prayers were maid before Yeshua's(Jesus's) time. such as the Shma, and the Amidah(Standing prayer). as well as all the Tehillim(Psalms) used in the siddur. the New testament in the book of Acts even makes refrence of Yeshua's disciples going to the Synagogue for Minchah or Marriv(I forget which one)
@Handler201 Are u on crack? the Amidah was written by ezra and the great assembly, this is has been known by Jews for century's and century's its called Oral Tradition. even Jesus hints at the amidah in the new testament
@jimmypagen10 The `Amidah has its roots in ben-Sira's book ("Ecclestiasticus",ca. 190 BCE) but was instituted by early rabbis only after the Temple was destroyed in AD70. What JC may have hinted at is a prayer that could've contained some % of the text known to us in the `Amidah,but this wasn't _the_ `Amidah.
Sorry,I dont accept circular claims by a biased source as the Talmud that wasnt objective about Jewish history with a vested interest in casting Rabbinic innovations as having been
@jimmypagen10 { Ctnd. } established by past greats from the Tanakh like `Ezra or Moshe Rabbenu (pbut) in order to try give the Rabbinic innovations an ancient aura and biblical validity.
Most Jews had believed virtually every historically false Rabbinic claim for centuries; the fact that everyone or a majority "knows" something doesn't make it true. Now don't start with ad hominems...as they're a sign of weakness and childishness. There's 0 non-Rabbinic evidence to corroborate the "`Ezra claim"
Thank you! Great explination. Catholic Priests Prostrate too, did you know? At certain times of the year. I'm not sure I would fully agree with letting any prayers touch the ground...tho you did clarify about if the space was clean.
Yusef, this comment pertains to ALL of your videos, and I think I'm speaking for hundreds of people when I say THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I am very inspired by you and your heart for HaShem and Torah.
Thank you for clarifying this for me. It is not possible to learn this from casual observations at all, since most people haven't the faintest idea what to do and when to do it. I wish that we would return to full bowing during the prayers, and they would get rid of all the furniture except along the wall, like the old Sefardic synagogues, and place carpets in the middle so we can do the bowing properly. For cleanliness, we will have to remove the shoes, of course.
What would happen if all the Jews who practice bowing and prostration like this went up to the wall and did it there? Would security take them away? I mean the full prostration part... What would happen if a minyan on men went up there and did that? And how would the Muslims respond? Would they be like, hey, those Jews are like us, cool! or... oh no... the Jews are getting serious about God, that might mean He'll listen to their prayers and let them win against us. What do you think?
I am a Muslim and I think your comment is absurd and a ridicule of my beliefs and those of the Jews, who by the way, are my brothers in monotheism and humanity. If I saw a mass prostration of Jews at the Wall I would think the same thing that I think when I see them there now: just human beings worshiping their Lord. And also, a true understanding of God implies that you know that HE is not a team player, he doesn't let one win over the other. God is with the just and merciful.
I believe that Deuteronomy 6:8 is not to be taken literally.
Notice how in Exodus 13:16 it describes sacrificing firstborn animals to be remembered in the same way. I believe it is simply expressive language to tell the Israelites to both meditate and do his will.
Aside from praying toward Jerusalem, are you aware of anything in the tanakh that teaches about the posture of prayer?
You would be wrong, then. The commands to sacrifice are to be taken literally if they are from the first five books of Moses. As a member of your faith, you may interpret "sola" but we are Jews, and have the first understanding of the text. I also agree with the other poster that Jews should return to the original bowing and prostration during prayer, since there is a tendency among some to pray too quickly and this will surely slow down the prayers and improve the attitude.
@preachinshawn Youre correct regarding Devarim 6:8& Shemot 13:16 (& other verses).In fact a great Medieval rabbi and exegete known as Rashbam reached this conclusion,but this isnt accepted in Rabbinic Judaism but is the position of Scriptural (Karaite) Judaism.Rashbam kept doing the Rabbinic tefillin practice so as not to be excommunicated.Each time I witness Rabbanites challenged on how the tefillin practice falls way short as a literal application of the commandments supposedly instructing to
It is true that muslim prayer originated from traditional jewish prayer. Muhammad brought it back. Same like Abraham, Jesus and the other prophets prostrated in prayer. We muslims are basically practicing what has originally been brought down. Why aren't most of the modern jews and christian doing the same thing ?
@Shaheed1993, I personally believe that Satan has done his best to make sure that Jews and Christians don't worship God this way. Even a thousand years ago many Jews and Christians used to do bowing and prostration. Aside from our differences, the clear testimony of the Jewish and Christian Bible is that THIS is the form of worship and prayer that God desires. He loves those with humble hearts who acknowledge Him as the Lord and King of the universe and treat Him with due honour and respect!
One praying in such a synagogue is obligated to turn around.
Both the Bible and even later Jewish law (including modern Jewish law) specify that we are to pray in the direction of the Holy Land. Whoever's in the Holy Land prays in the direction of Jerusalem. Whoever's in Jerusalem prays in the direction of the Temple Mount.
This proves judaism still got some teachings from Allah. Allah through out the history wanted his slaves to worship him, this is further proof. Thx for showing it again. It is very similar to the islamic prostrations, or salah.
@Cypressmoon72 Yes, Judaism was before Islam- even in th Koran, they are told to go to the Jews for answers because Muhammad did not feel he had the right to answer their questions.
Absolutely. And as I said, even when wearing Tefillin there is no restriction. It's just that you need to be careful that you don't injure the Tefillin... which means you need to make sure the floor is clean enough and smooth enough that you don't have to worry about dirt getting into the cracks of the Tefillin, that the paint of the Tefillin won't get chipped, and what not. You can cover your Tefillin with one of your hands as you do it if you want. ...too distracting 4 me.
This was one of the first differences I noticed between Ashkenazim and Sefaradim. I remember I was with my rabbi before having converted.. and he was clarifying for a Persian Jew when to bow in the 'Amida. The rabbi was Ashkenazi. He told the Persian Jew that he needs to be bending his knees... to which the Persian Jew replied that Sefaradim don't do that! Truth is, some Sefaradim do. Not all Sefaradi communities were the same. In modern times things got simplified.
I SUSPECT (...but don't know for sure) ...that Sefaradim's lack of bending the knees might be connected to the reason why during Tahhanun they (most of them) abstain from nafilath apaiyim (falling down face-ward) all together where as though Ashkenazim as a whole have ceased prostrating to the floor as was the original practice, they at least still prostrate symbolically on a table-top.
@omedyashar any idea why ashkenazim have stopped prostrating? are there synagogues in israel where jews do practice nafilath apaiyim? I remember a story, unfortunately I can't remember who is the subject, but it is said that he would end up moving from the back to the front of the synagogue during the amidah, as he was very enthusiastic with his prostrations. he is described as "summersaulting"
Sefardim do also sit and lower their heads, during nefilath apayim, but they do it after the Ana Hashem and the thirteen midot of Hashem, when they read the prayer "Tefilah Le-David....Nafshi Esa...."
That is because the original Aleinu prayer is borrowed from the mussaf service of Rosh Hashana, where one would bow because it is part of the Amidah. We liked it so much that we say the Aleinu at the conclusion of every service now.

in most places ashkenazim actually bow different than Sephardim because we ashkenazim bend their knees during prayer when one would be doing a keria
so we bend our knees and they go into the regular bow while sephardim just bow
and dont bend their knees first
this is also evident from alienu where ashkenazim say va' anachnu korim u'mishtachavim
and Sephardim just say va' anachnu mishtachavim
