Jewish liturgy

Jewish liturgy refers to the set of prayers, blessings, and rituals that are recited during Jewish worship services and religious occasions. It encompasses daily prayers, Sabbath services, and holiday observances, often structured around the Torah, the central text of Judaism. The liturgy includes the Amidah (standing prayer), Shema (affirmation of faith), and various psalms. The ceremonies foster community, connect participants to their heritage, and express devotion to God. Services can take place in synagogues or at home, and they reflect the diverse traditions within Judaism, including Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform practices.
