A House of Worship is many things. It's a gathering place. A meeting place. A sharing place. A caring place. A learning place. And, most important, it is a place of tefillah (prayers).
It's where families can come together to celebrate important life cycle events. Where our children go to prepare themselves for Jewish adulthood and community service by learning and practicing the traditions and rituals of Judaism. It is where strangers feel a warm welcome and have the opportunity to meet new friends.
And it's where we go to find meaning and purpose in our lives, alleviation of our sorrows, and simple explanations for the profoundly unexplainable.
It's where we pray.
A House of Worship may be where troubled people can unburden their souls and have a quiet, personal conversation with G-d. And where congregants can give communal expression of their devotion to and acceptance of a higher power.
