There are many names for God in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament); they all ended up getting translated as "God" or "Lord," but in Biblical Hebrew, God is often referred to by His attributes or qualities: the Righteous One, the Faithful One, the One Who Guards Israel, the Just One (that is, the one who cares about justice), the One Who Creates, etc. When Jews pray, they use words like "Adonoi" (a Biblical Hebrew word that means "Lord"), or "Elohaynu ("Our God"). Jews believe in the same God that Christians do-- Jesus lived and died a Jew, and in the New Testament's "Lord's Prayer," he encouraged people to pray to the Father in Heaven. On the other hand, many Christians pray to both God and Jesus, or pray in Jesus' name. Jews pray directly to God and no-one else.
