I'm an ashkenazi jew and have always wondered why do we skip this sentence in the first paragraph of the Aleinu. The sentence says something like: "We do not pray to false gods".I know it got something to do with the inquisition but that's as far as I know.

I think you are referring to a phrase that roughly translates to "For they bow down to vanity and nothingness and pray to gods that cannot provide them salvation". Is that it?– DanFSep 8, 2015 at 2:06
