Support for Jesus' pray life practices
There are a number of references to Jesus' prayer life in scripture. I would like to understand the Jewish prayer life of that time as a basis of understanding what Jesus' prayer practice might be as a faithful Jew. Any ideas how to search my Verbum library for that insight?

using the prompt "What was typical Jewish 1st century prayer life" in the beta AI assisted search yielded
- Finkel, Asher. “Prayer in Jewish Life of the First Century as Background to Early Christianity.” In Into God’s Presence: Prayer in the New Testament, edited by Richard N. Longenecker. McMaster New Testament Studies. Grand Rapids, MI; Cambridge, U.K.: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2002.
as the closest fit to your question - synagogue practices yields many more responses
The prompt "Jewish prayer" AND "1st century" in the regular books search also gets some results. I couldn't find appropriate topics in Factbook.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
