In Jewish liturgy, a prayer praising God and expressing the hope for universal recognition of divine unity.
From Hebrew 'Aleinu,' meaning 'upon us.' The prayer dates back to the 4th century CE and appears in daily Jewish services, particularly at the conclusion of prayer services.
Aleinu is recited in synagogues worldwide in a language 700+ years older than English exists—it's one of the oldest continuously spoken prayer texts in human history!
