R' Gurkow's First Lecture on Prayer Thank you very much for this interesting story of the development of prayer and the siddur and the interaction of spontaneous extemporanious prayer and formal structured prayer. The lecture has inspired me to work at praying better. Reply

The Synagogue
A synagogue is a place of Jewish worship. In addition to housing a sanctuary for services, synagogues (most notably Chabad centers) serve as the centerpoint of Jewish life.
