    Judisim is practiced by almost half of the country and is one of the

    oldest monotheistic religions in the world. The base of Jewish worship is

    through prayers. These prayers are found in the jewish book called the siddur.

    With these prayers there are instructions and comments in the siddur as well.

    More prayers will be recited like on holidays such as Sabbath and hanukkah.

    The ideal worship is in a synagogue and getting a group of ten called a

    minyan. Like other religions, the length and or style of the prayer depends on

    the individual synagogue. The most important object in any Jewish place of

    worship is the Torah, the scroll of the Law, in its large ornamented box,

    called the Ark, at the front of theHall Within the synagogue they hire a

    professional singer called a huzzan, to lead in the congregation of the prayers.

    They pray three times a day;morning, midday and evening. Jewish people

    worship in holy places known as synagogues, and their spiritual leaders are

    called rabbis. The most important thing in Jewish life is family. Marriage is

    the holiest thing in this religion and a relationship between a man and a
    woman is crucial. This also includes raising a family and getting approved by

    the rabbi. The cornerstone of Jewish practice is the observance of the

    Sabbath. This period of twenty-four hours from sunset Friday to sunset

    Saturday commemorates the Lord’s day of rest after the work of creation,and

    it intended for the rest to refresh the body and soul. On Sabbath no work is

    done is a feast and a celebration at the dinner tables and at the synagogue.

    The jewish

    literature sees the Sabbath as a bountiful gift to God’s people, as a

    lovely bride to be welcomed with eager love from the family and the groom's

    family. Besides the Sabbath worship, The Jewish calendar has several

    festivals. Many jew observe tge High holy days also known as Rosh

    hashanah Yom Kippurand the passover. Rosh Hashana Head of the year is

    kept as the anniversary of Jewish New Years day. Then after ten days of

    repentance, Yom Kippur. The day of atonement. It's described as the day

    when God redskins up the sins of every person from the previous year and

    sets their fate for the upcoming year. For the jews, God is simply a metaphor

    but it does set up Yom Kippur and the overall tone.


    Judaism has and will continue to exist and accommodate various needs

    and lifestyles. With the combination of maintaining elements of traditional

    continuity while incorporating aspects of modernity which leads to popular faith.

    Judaism continues to survive. With differing variations of the jewish faith, it

    provides and will continue to provide a choice to the modern Jew that reflects the

    lifestyle that he or she chooses to adopt.
