Many people are uncomfortable with the idea and format of prayer.
Some people wonder where the spirituality is in Jewish worship.
That's why we'd like to offer a little helpful orientation. First of all, when you come to services, please feel that you're among friends. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself or to ask anyone here a question about anything happening. You may want to just sit and watch or involve yourself in a way that seems comfortable. If you come to the synagogue regularly, you'll eventually learn all the different customs and how to participate fully.
