What Prompts Change in Our Liturgy?
Changes in liturgy are born out of changes in the theological and historical life of a people, both the individual and the community.

Changes in liturgy are born out of changes in the theological and historical life of a people, both the individual and the community.
Jews are permitted to pray in any language and thus making our liturgy a link to Jews all around the world.
By the use of set prayers, are we ipso facto guaranteeing that some will be obliged to recite words they do not find true or meaningful?
We hear from God through our participation in liturgical prayer, and also through the study of religious texts.
