Question
To whom it may concern,
I have just started to pray everyday, since early October, three times a day using the Bernbaum prayer book. This is a Hebrew-English prayer book. How does one know when to go to a all Hebrew prayer book? Thank you for your help.
Answer
You don’t have to go to an all Hebrew book at all if you don’t know the translation of the words. I would suggest using a prayer book which explains the ideas behind the prayers (such as an Artscroll prayerbook), but you should use that which you are most comfortable. The main thing is to concentrate on that which you are saying. Which prayerbook you use is of secondary importance.
