A synagogue is a place of prayer for Juws.

First, one should know that religious faith can not, and is not limited to the four walls of the synagogue. As it is said "בכל דרכך דעהו" ("In all thy ways acknowledge Him", Proverbs ,3,6). Prayer is only one of many ways.

So the question really is how by prayer one can express his religious faith?

Jewish prayer is a combination between words and Cavana (meaning, intention. The more important part is the Cavana, as Hazal (Aicient rabbis) said: "Prayer with no intention is like a body with no soul". This means that one should first understand and deepen more and more his understanding in the word he says. Most important is to reach the main part of the prayer in the knowledge the you are speaking to Hashem (G-O-D) because you are so close to him now like a son to his father. As it is said "מלא כל הארץ כבודו" ("the whole earth is full of His glory", Isaiah, 6,3)

Some of the main concepts of Jewdaism faith that are referred to in prayer are:

- Hashem (G-O-D) is the G-O-D of our ancestors and has freed them from slavery (some 3500 years ago).

- Hashem (G-O-D) is one.

- Hashem created our world, is present in our world and is concerned for our world.

- One should be tankful to Hashem for all the good deeds he does.

- Hashem answers all how trully call him.

- All Jew must follow the rules of the Torah so they will be close to Hashem and Hashem will give them his Blessing and if not they will be punished.
