Prayer is, after all, a key part of our\u003cbr\u003e ancient spiritual practice, but it's hard for modern Jews to\u003cbr\u003e find their way into it. The siddur or prayer book may seem\u003cbr\u003e too dense. You may lose interest easily and need a framework\u003cbr\u003e that sustains your involvement. You might be already familiar\u003cbr\u003e with the prayers, but they have become rote for you - you need\u003cbr\u003e some new insights.\u003cbr\u003e I've had some of the same experiences. I began learning\u003cbr\u003e the prayers with an excitement about learning something\u003cbr\u003e new, including learning to read Hebrew at the same time. I\u003cbr\u003e struggled to follow the service while enjoying its songs and\u003cbr\u003e rhythms. Over time I became more comfortable, and began\u003cbr\u003e to experience a period of deep engagement with the prayers.\u003cbr\u003e I prayed on my own much of the time. When we had the opportunity\u003cbr\u003e to pray with a community, on a holiday or special\u003cbr\u003e Shabbat, it was glorious.\u003cbr\u003e But that was followed by years of much less attention to\u003cbr\u003e prayers, for I was now a working mother with five children.\u003cbr\u003e We lived in an active Jewish community but I had so little\u003cbr\u003e time, and often just rushed through a few formal prayers.\u003cbr\u003e I became interested in Jewish meditation, which helped for\u003cbr\u003e a while. Still, over the years my own practice waxed and\u003cbr\u003e waned: sometimes I was actively davening every morning, \u003cbr\u003e while at other times I was speaking to God less, studying and\u003cbr\u003e contemplating more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394338459921,"sku":"CIN1935604813A","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1935604813.jpg?v=1751380878","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/loving-prayer-book-tamar-frankiel-9781935604815","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
