I go back and forth between Orthodox and Reform Jewish synagogues. I must
tell you that I find English-based services lacking. I much prefer the
Hebrew services, even though I hardly understand a word. Perhaps it's the
comfort factor of having grown up with it (and I can sing most of the
Shabbat Morning service from memory - learned by rote, brute-force
memorization), but I find the English service less emotional, less
spiritual, and much more sterile. YMMV.
