Worship and Practices

From tradition, Jewish pray in a congregation three times a day. The study of Torah, the revealed will of God, also is considered an act of worship. The Torah is read religiously each Sabbath. The Sabbath is spent in prayer, study, rest, and family feasting. Over the course of a year, the entire Torah will be read on Sabbath and festival days. The Jewish year includes five major festivals— Passover, Shabuoth, Sukkot, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur—and two minor ones— Hanukkah and Purim.
