Worship

• Jews may worship in a synagogue or at home
• Worship is important as it brings a community together and helps them to understand their faith
• Men and women worship separately in an Orthodox synagogue. Men cover their heads with a kippah and women cover their heads with a scarf, which shows respect for God
• Orthodox men also wear a tallit and a tefillin. The tallit reminds Jews that they are obeying God's word whenever they wear it. The tefillin makes them concentrate on God when they are praying
• Jews pray three times a day at home
• For orthodox Jews, the rabbi must be a man but for reform Jews, the rabbi can be both genders
• Worship in the home on Shabbat involves food and drink whereas worship at the synagogue is more focused on the Torah and prayer
• Some Jews may think that God is everywhere so therefore worship should be fine anywhere
