In the Jewish religion men and women used siddurim. A Siddur is a Hebrew book that the Jewish people read from everyday. The men are obligated to pray at least 3 times a day and the women are obligated to pray at least one time a day. The three prayers that the men are obligated to say are Shacharit, Mincha and Arbit, and the women are obligated to say Shacharit. Religious people have done this in years past and continue in the same way today.
They also use a Kiddush cup on Friday night and Saturday. On Friday night we say berachot before we drink out of the Kiddush cup. Some families use wine and others use grape juice. Kiddush is said before the Shabbat meals.
Tehillim is a book full of psalms, that our King David wrote in his troubled times. Some psalms are prayers that are said for sick people to get better, and others are for when you lose something and you pray to Hashem to help find it.
In this gallery you will also find some artifacts that were used on Jewish holidays, like the seder plate for Passover. Also there is a baby\'s hat and blanket used at the bris of every male member of a family, and the silver coins that were used to redeem a baby at a pidyon haben.
