Are Jews required to pray

Answer 1

Orthodox Jews do pray obliglatory prayers such as certain prayers in the morning, befoere bed, at meals, at the various fests and passor and seder. They pray certain prayers at the begginning and ending of Sabbath. They also have special prayers for death rites, weddings, births, and their worship services. These prayers are extremely beautiful and full of faith. The Jews do not find them to be obliging but rather joyful and wonderful. Anytime they commune with God is special, the same is true for Christians.

Answer 4

Judaism is the religion, the people are Jews. Religiously observant Jews pray 3 times a day and 4 times on Saturday.

Answer 5

Jewish tradition requires Jewish men to pray 3 times a day, where each of the daily prayers includes a sequence blessings (the Amidah), along with prologue and epilogue. The modern liberal movements in Judaism extend this obligation to all Jewish adults, men and women.

In addition, all Jewish adults are traditionally obligated to say a brief blessing before each meal and a longer set of blessings after each meal (Birkat ha Mazon). There are even simpler prayers for a wide variety of daily activities from putting on a new article of clothing to hearing thunder.

Of course, some Jews are more scrupulous than others in observing these obligations.
