Jews have many different traditional prayers that cover a wide variety of topics. Most traditional Prayers are in Hebrew, but a few are in Aramaic or English. Many prayers are sung, using both traditional and modern melodies.

Prayers tend to be more about praise and blessing, thanks, and less about supplication, though Jews do regularly ask for things such as peace, health, and understanding.

Many Jews consider a Niggun to be a form a prayer without words. This is a melody that is hummed or sung with nonsense words.

The largest portion of Jewish prayer consists of praise of the Creator, Master of the Universe. The next largest portion consists of thanks to Him for the good that He has done for us and given us. The smallest portion consists of requests. The requests specified explicitly in the formal liturgy are for peace and forgiveness. In addition, an individual is always entitled to address the Creator from the heart, with his own private requests.
