Истоки еврейской молитвы
Еврейская молитва, или тфилла, – это неотъемлемая часть еврейской веры и культуры. Евреи молились на протяжении веков — с древних времен до современных религиозных обрядов в синагогах по всему миру.
It’s thought that Jewish prayer originated with the ancient Hebrews as a way to express themselves and their faith in G-d. This was done through ritual recitation of specific texts, such as Psalms, or by voicing individual petitions for favors or mercy. As Judaism evolved over the centuries, Jewish prayers became more structured and specific, with the development of siddurim (books of prayers) that contained liturgy written in Hebrew.

This is followed by recitations such as Birchot HaTorah, which blesses G-d for the study of Torah and other Jewish texts, and then psalm recitations. Shacharit ends with a communal Jewish prayer called the Amidah, a series of blessings that ask for help in living life in accordance with G-d’s law as well as for forgiveness of sins.
