The leader may announce one number while the person beside you turns somewhere else. Hebrew may run across the page in a direction you are not used to following. English translation, transliteration, commentary, stage directions, and optional readings may all compete for attention. The congregation stands, then sits, then sings a line that appears nowhere obvious. Someone whispers that the service has moved ahead. You wonder whether you are lost because the book is difficult, because the community is moving quickly, or because everyone else received instructions years before you arrived.</p>
