התפילה בקהילת כל הנשמה   תפילה היא לא לצורך בידור. תפילה היא משמעת כמו מוסיקה, ריצה או מדיטאציה. אם באתם לצפות – תשתעממו.	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.
אנו משווים את תפילתנו ללהקת ג’אז. לפעמים זה נשמע שכל אחד “מנגן ניגון” אישי שונה בעוצמה או בקצב משלו (ואחרים אינם משמיעים קול בכלל), ולפעמים כולם שרים בהרמוניה יפה.	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.
הסידור הוא מסגרת; כמו דף תווים שעומד לפני המנגן. אם אתם בוחרים להשתמש במילים אלו דעו, כי אם הנכם קוראים את התפילות אינכם מתפללים. יש להגיע ליחסי גומלין בין המתפלל לתפילה ובין המתפלל למתפללים האחרים.	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.
דעו, כי לפי המסורת, התפילה כוללת גם ניגונים וגם שתיקה. נא להרפות מכל מתח. כולנו באים ברגשות מעורבים לבית הכנסת. אנחנו מודעים לתחושותינו בעת התפילה, לא בורחים מהן. אנו נותנים לרגשות להשפיע על התפילה ולתפילה להשפיע על הרגשות.	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 – we do not try to escape from them. We let our feelings influence our prayers and our prayers influence our feelings.
אם את/ה לא מכיר/ה היטב את הסידור, די שתמצא מילים שתרגיש איתן בנוח. כמעט לכל מילה בסידור יש אסוציאציות מהתנ”ך, התלמוד, המדרש או הקבלה והספרות.	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.
נא לזכור ש”הלהקה” הזאת נפגשת בכל שבוע, ואנו מתרגלים את תפילתנו. יכול להיות שהמילים או הניגונים לא מוכרים לך. כל משמעת קשה בהתחלה, אבל ההרגל מאפשר לך להרגיש חופשי יותר.	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.
