We hahd our Seder Meal last weekend.

I was amazed at the number of

"Blessed are you, God," prayers.

Amazingly familiar to prayers in the Mass.

If we prayed like this six times a day (I think that is the custom in Israel.) how would our days change?

In the N.O. mass, yes. In the Traditional Latin Mass, we have what's called the Offertory, and the prayers are indeed very beautiful. They were all done away with and replaced, however, by the "bringing up of the gifts" (or whatever you call it), and what amounts to a Jewish grace before meals. The last valid sacrifice under the Old Law was offered by Jesus Christ on Holy Thursday.

Call your local synogogues and see if any of them are getting together & playing Mass as a sign of their unity with their Christian bretheren.

Judaism has 3 prayer services a day.
They energize and ground the one praying to God and values. With God's help, Jewish productivity does not suffer ;) Don't observant Catholics attend mass more than one time a day?

Yes, "Blessed are you, Lord, our God, king of the universe, who xxxx " are the beginning words of all formal Jewish blessings - there are separate blessings over a wide variety of things for which Jews recognize their gratitude and connection to God or over which they see the hand of God - from the blessing over bread before commencing a meal, to blessing on foods eaten separately during the way, to blessing on wine used to usher in the Sabbath, even a blessing said when one sees the wonder of a rainbow, the first fruits of the harvest season, and blessings that recognize God's wisdom and his role in giving wisdom, comfort, his ability to save individuals from persecution, to rescue the weak, free captives, heal the sick, keep one's lips from speaking ill of anyone, to God as creator of the world, etc. There are scores and scores of such blessings in Jewish prayer services and others are recited during the course of the day as they become relevant. Specific blessings begin or end various paragraphs of the prayer service.

It's amazing that you are amazed that Christians kept the Jewish words. They are core to the shared values and traditions.
