Summary:

"The aim of this book is to give both men and women a basic familiarity with the synagogue service and with the movements and actions associated with Jewish prayer. The guidelines and essential information contained in this book are intended not only for the newcomer to the synagogue, but to the regular 'davener' who wants to make prayer more meaningful ... This volume will open the door to a new understanding of the role of prayer as an uplifting journey in communing with one's Creator. Hopefully this book will not only answer such questions but will ease entry into synagogue life and enable more active participation in the daily and Shabbat Minyan."--Cover.
