[quote=Anonymous]When I was a child, our reform rabbi told us that the congregation in orthodox synagogues might seem disrespectful -- arriving late, chatting away, moving around the synagogue. But that is because they know the service intimately, having attended every week for all their lives. They can arrive in the middle of a prayer and instantly jump in with the right words or chant. They are not attending a performance but rather they are part of the ritual. I have lost most contact with Judaism for many years now, but for some reason, those words from our reform rabbi have always stuck with me.[/quote]
