What I Wish I Knew About Prayer as an Orthodox Jewish Convert

Jewish Prayer/Judaism/Jewish Conversion/Orthodox Jewish/Siddur/Jewish Prayer Book/How Jews Pray/Hebrew Prayer Hi! In this video, I am sharing with you some of the things I wish I knew about prayer and praying as a Jew that I wish someone had explained to me as a new convert. We cover some basic questions about prayer, such as what prayer is and why we do it, how we do it and when, etc. Also I discuss the differences between different types of siddurim (Jewish prayer books) with a sort of "buying guide" for those looking for some guidance on choosing a Siddur to purchase for themselves. Also, I forgot to mention in my video that there are apps available for smartphone of siddurim, available in different nusachim and languages. (These are not generally used in prayer services, and certainly not on Shabbat, but are convenient for things like Birkat Hamazon, blessings, when traveling or out and about, or if you forget to bring your Siddur to the synagogue). Some communities do not use smartphones, so an app-based Siddur would not be an option for them, obviously. *Thank you to a viewer for reminding me to mention this. 🤗 LINKS Online Jewish Library; https://www.sefaria.org/texts Online Judaica and Bookstores; https://www.judaicaplace.com/store/ -https://www.nehora.com -https://www.judaica.com/jewish-books/...
