The Jewish prayer book, or siddur, remains the standard text from which children in Jewish schools learn to read. Yet many adult Jews are unfamiliar with the siddur and are confused by prayer services. Other know the prayer book's Hebrew texts by rote but do not really comprehend them. Writing for both kinds of readers in this classic devotional guide, Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin reviews the basic shape of a Jewish prayer service and then begins his survey of prayers (all of which are quoted here in both Hebrew and English) with the Shemoneh Esrei, the core of every service. One of the most appealing qualities of the book is the author's penchant for reminding readers to be mindful of the practical dimension of prayer life: "Unless prayer is also accompanied by the traits of character and ethical behavior that Judaism demands, prayer is no indication of piety at all. One need only stop to consider that in real life, evil men pray too." --Michael Joseph Gross
Synopsis
Rabbi Donin offers a detailed guide to Jewish prayer which takes the reader through the entire prescribed course of Jewish liturgy, offering historical background, religious teaching, and practical instruction for each element of the service. Why do Jews pray? What is the role of prayer in their lives as moral and ethical beings? From the simplest details of how to comport oneself on entering a synagogue to the most profound and moving comments on the prayers themselves, Rabbi Donin guides the reader through the entire prescribed course of Jewish liturgy, passage by passage, ritual by ritual, in this handsome and indispensable guide to Jewish prayer, unexcelled for beginners as well as the religiously observant.

There are few books as easy to read as "To Pray as a Jew." You will find all the essentials ... from preparing to attend synagogue to what to do when you leave and thereafter. If you desire to learn how to make prayer an effective part of your everyday life, then you MUST read this book. It is a "how to", "when to", "what to", "what else" manual. You will certainly wear this book out!

I bought this book because I want to learn how to pray. Now, it definately explains all about praying in an Orthodox shul, and explains purpose and history about the various prayers for home, but as for reading it straight through, I couldn't do it. I got bored in the minute details. One thing I noticed is that, being totally from an Orthodox perspective, it explains common practices during prayer, but barely touches on the fact that he is referring specifically to men,as women cannot make up a minyan, the group of ten needed to pray. But aside from that, a very useful resource.

"To Pray as a Jew" is one of those books it is hard to escape. It is used as a textbook in many Jewish classrooms; it is recommended by many Rabbis. There is no question that the book is thorough, accurate, and detailed. The main problem is it doesn't seem to know who its audience is.
The minutiae are so extreme that it even gives advice on what to do if you take someone's customary seat in the synagogue (it advises you apologize and ask if they want the seat; it insists that the person in question will rarely actually ask for it back). If you have never darkened the door of a synagogue, the incredibly long and detailed descriptions of how and why to pray could make your head spin. If, on the other hand, you are someone who has gone to a synagogue before, and wants to know WHY certain practices are done, or who wants an explanation of some of the more unusual rituals, the attention to practices such a proper dress and step-by-step diagrams on how to bow may evoke giggles rather than enlightenment.
The biggest error, however, is that it completely ignores the existence of the Reform movement. Many of the practices in Reform synagogues are substantially different from those mentioned in this book. Nevertheless, if Rabbi Donin truly wants to help a Jew be comfortable in "any synagogue in the world," as he purports to want to do, it is a major oversight to not at least mention that Reform synagogues exist, and that the practices are very different.
I have used this book occasionally as a reference, but I do not recommend that anyone read it straight through.
