Best Answer

Hebrew is the ancient language of the Jewish people.

Second, not all Orthodox services are only in Hebrew. Most congregations have at least some English, usually the sermon and the Prayer for the country.

Furthermore, Reform and Conservative services today also contain a large amount of Hebrew.

What prayers are said at Jewish mass?

First, the term "mass" is not a Jewish term and may cause some offense to Jews. Please substitute the word "service". At a Jewish prayer service, most of the prayers are in Hebrew, and many of them are sung. In fact, in a typical Orthodox service, only the sermon and the prayer over the country are in English (or the language of the country). Non-Orthodox services may include English poetic readings and some singing in English.
