The Torah (also known as the Five Books of Moses) is the first five books of The Bible. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Many religions use the Torah to worship, most people just refer to it as part of the First (or old) Testament of the Bible.
Every aspect of Jewish worship itself, whether in the synagogue or in private, as
well as of Jewish conduct in daily life, is patterned on principles from the Torah.
In addition, a portion of the Torah text is read publicly during the synagogue
service on the following occasions:
-- morning service on Mondays and Thursdays
-- morning and afternoon service on Sabbath and Yom Kippur
-- morning service on each holiday described in the Torah.
-- morning service on Hanukkah and Purim
-- morning and afternoon service on fast days

Jews pray to God. The books which we use during worship include the Siddur (Hebrew prayerbook), the Torah, and the Prophets. Portions of the Torah-scroll are read during services several times each week, and a small passage from the Prophets is read during the Shabbat morning services.See also the Related Links.Link: More about Jewish prayer servicesLink: More about the Torah and Prophets
