PRAYER AT KOL HANESHAMA
Prayer is not entertainment. Prayer is a discipline, like music, running or meditation. If you are here to observe, you will be bored. ืื ื ืืฉืืืื ืืช ืชืคืืืชื ื ืืืืงืช ืโืื. ืืคืขืืื ืื ื ืฉืืข ืฉืื ืืื โืื ืื ื ืืืืโ ืืืฉื ืฉืื ื ืืขืืฆืื ืื ืืงืฆื ืืฉืื (ืืืืจืื ืืื ื ืืฉืืืขืื ืงืื ืืืื), ืืืคืขืืื ืืืื ืฉืจืื ืืืจืืื ืื ืืคื.
Praying is like playing jazz. The more you pray, the richer your prayer becomes. Musicians improvise on a set of musical themes; they can play together in harmony one moment and in the next, they each play at their own rhythm, at their own volume. Sometimes we all pray in harmony, other times we each pray at our own rhythm and our own volume. ืืกืืืืจ ืืื ืืกืืจืช; ืืื ืืฃ ืชืืืื ืฉืขืืื ืืคื ื ืืื ืื.

The siddur is a framework, like the page of notes for the jazz player. If you choose to use these words, know that you are not praying if you only read the prayers. One should try to reach a proper balance between the pray-er and the prayer, and between the pray-er and other pray-ers. ืืขื, ืื ืืคื ืืืกืืจืช, ืืชืคืืื ืืืืืช ืื ื ืืืื ืื ืืื ืฉืชืืงื. ื ื ืืืจืคืืช ืืื ืืชื. ืืืื ื ืืืื ืืจืืฉืืช ืืขืืจืืื ืืืืช ืืื ืกืช. ืื ืื ื ืืืืขืื ืืชืืืฉืืชืื ื ืืขืช ืืชืคืืื, ืื ืืืจืืื ืืื. ืื ื ื ืืชื ืื ืืจืืฉืืช ืืืฉืคืืข ืขื ืืชืคืืื ืืืชืคืืื ืืืฉืคืืข ืขื ืืจืืฉืืช.
Know that according to tradition, praying includes both music and silence. Try to relax from all tension. We all come to synagogue with mixed feelings. We are aware of these feelings in prayer โ we do not try to escape from them. We let our feelings influence our prayers and our prayers influence our feelings. ืื ืืช/ื ืื ืืืืจ/ื ืืืื ืืช ืืกืืืืจ, ืื ืฉืชืืฆื ืืืืื ืฉืชืจืืืฉ ืืืชื ืื ืื. ืืืขื ืืื ืืืื ืืกืืืืจ ืืฉ ืืกืืฆืืืฆืืืช ืืืชื โื, ืืชืืืื, ืืืืจืฉ ืื ืืงืืื ืืืกืคืจืืช.
If you do not know the siddur well, start by trying to find words with which you feel comfortable. In almost every word in the Siddur we can find associations from the Torah, Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah and modern literature. The more you are tuned into these connections, the richer the prayer can be. ื ื ืืืืืจ ืฉโืืืืงืโ ืืืืช ื ืคืืฉืช ืืื ืฉืืืข, ืืื ื ืืชืจืืืื ืืช ืชืคืืืชื ื. ืืืื ืืืืืช ืฉืืืืืื ืื ืื ืืืื ืื ืื ืืืืจืื ืื. ืื ืืฉืืขืช ืงืฉื ืืืชืืื, ืืื ืืืจืื ืืืคืฉืจ ืื ืืืจืืืฉ ืืืคืฉื ืืืชืจ.
The band meets, at least, every week. It could well be that the words or melodies are not familiar to you. Remember, any discipline is difficult at the beginning and practice enables you to feel free. ืืจื ืืื ืืืื-ืงืืื
