The word "Jew" comes from Judah, a name that means "praised" which is derived from the shoresh yadah, meaning (in the Hiphil) to give thanks, to laud, to praise. A true Jew, then, is one who lives in a praiseworthy attitude and manner according to God's standards.

Prayer and praise make up the heart of the true Jew. Over the many centuries, Jews have developed countless prayers and blessings to God.

Note that Jewish prayer is not confined to services and holidays, since it is considered daily communion with God. Nor is prayer confined to the synagogue, since there are many prayers and blessings intended to be said by the individual in the home.
