No big deal, billions of people pray every day - but this is the particular prayer that they recite every morning: "Blessed are you, Lord, our God, ruler the universe who has not created me a woman."
For some people, the passage is misogynistic and is used as evidence to support the theory that the Orthodox Jewish religion is anti-woman at it's core.
The prayer is found in the Talmud, that is essentially a run down of what activities should be performed in the morning after you wake up.
Some other activities include hearing the first cock-crow, stepping on the ground, opening your eyes, pleasant things like that.
To keep the blessings the same, medieval Jewish authorities wanted everyone to recite the prayers together in the synagogue, rather than alone in your home.
However, some people swap out the "has not created me a woman" part with "has not created me a slave" or other variations of things that they are glad that they are not.
