In The Liturgy
Jews call on God to restore God’s sovereignty in Israel, reflected in Deuteronomy 33:5, with the words “reign over us” in the weekday Amidah prayer in each of the three prayer services.
In the Yigdal hymn, the seventh verse, “In Israel, none like Moses arose again, a prophet who perceived His vision clearly,” derives from the observation of Deuteronomy 34:10 that “there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.”

Famous quotes containing the word liturgy:
“You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
