Traditions and forms of prayer
The celebration of Shabbat and the organization of church services are of central importance for the Jewish community. As in Jewish life As explained, at least ten adult men are required for a service. This is illustrated by the reading of prayers, with one man saying the prayers aloud while the others pray quietly. In addition, reading the Torah on Shabbat is particularly important and is always carried out in compliance with certain traditions, such as wearing head coverings as an expression of respect for God.
A tallit, a prayer shawl, is often worn by men, and tefillin, small black capsules with prayer texts, help to involve the whole body in the act of prayer.
The coming weeks promise not only spiritual exhilaration, but also the opportunity to delve deeply into the traditions and rituals of the Jewish faith. The IKG Bamberg warmly invites all members and interested parties to take part in these special services and experience the community.
