How Jews Pray

Singing. Davening. Swaying back and forth. Asking for a favor. Please, God -- let me get an "A" on this test....

Half slice-of-life and half anthropology, "How Jews Pray" checks out what we talk (and think) about when we pray, what it means when we do -- and whether anyone's on the receiving end.

i herd jews only have sex when they want a baby!?

Hmmm, Wow the jews are very similar to Islam. Clearly Islam is the true religion, where we must pray 5 times a day, put our faces on the ground, and praise Allah. Why dont Jews just accept the fact that Islam is the true religion. It is clearly the last Law, that confirms the books of old, Torah, Gospel, Book Of Abraham.

I am a Jew: I "pray" 3 times a day, but that for me is reading a script. Its important to have a routine because it keeps you grounded, but then sometimes I pray outside the book and that is talking with God and that is more powerful than anything.

@elbnderi you are not supposed to

but if thats where your faith really falls then you have already converted in your heart. But as you already know that Jews and muslims are the closest religions. We call them our cousins

[elbnderi]
