1. praying in reform synagogue
korah ,   paris   (01.08.06)
is useless because there is only one Judaism: Orthodox
2. #1

You are an intollerant bigot. An individuals Judaism and faith in Hashem is between the individual and G-d, not judgemental, small-minded outsiders.
3. #1 reform synagogue
yoel   (01.08.06)
I have to admit it's a pity we had only reports from refrom synagogues. But we have also to recognize that any othodox community would have accepted to be followed by a Cam Recorder during the service on Shabbat. Personnally, I don't need to show I'm praying, and I don't know if it's a good thing for self-concentration... BUT this is not today's purpose: Let's focuse on Sharon's health, and let's pray together with one voice. It doesn't mind where the prayer is coming from. Nobody knows who is right, and any of us should have one part of truth....I also respect reformists even if I don't agree with some of their practises in the synagogue, rules concerning Shabbat etc...
4. #1: don't be ricidulous

While I'm ritually Conservadox (spiritually agnostic though) and feel uncomfortable in a reform or even conservative shul, a Jew is a Jew, and a Jewish prayer is a Jewish prayer. Please, Jewish brothers and sisters everywhere, pray for our Arik. His Hebrew name is Ariel ben D'vorah.
5. Since Sharon is your god to whom do you pray?

6. prayers for the head of government
Frank ,   London UK   (01.08.06)
As a rule, G-d hears prayers from everyone. However, he particularly delights in bringing about the wishes of those, who put His wishes above those of their own wishes, as we learn from Pirkey Avos. There is a commandment to pray for the head of government, whatever the situation. Simply because this person is involved in your own material wellbeing. And we learn from the case of Uriah, that most rabbis considered that he was worthy of the death sentence, because he didn't follow the orders of his king, David.
8. to #1

What happened to kol Yisrael chaverim and Am Yisrael Chai? You are , I'm happy to say, not a true representative of Judaism. .
