Prayer norms in Judaism? (Landlord has been loudly praying near my unit after conflict)

I have a landlord who is Jewish, and I’m a non-Jewish tenant living in an ADU that’s directly attached to her main house. We’re separated only by a wall.

A few weeks ago, I reported the unit to city inspectors. The inspector confirmed that the unit is illegal and cited my landlord for code violations.

Since then, my landlord has started loudly chanting or shouting in Hebrew, including what I’ve recognized (through basic lookup) as the Shema or “Adonai Echad.” At first, I assumed it might have been related to the war in Israel. However, the following day, I heard my name, family, and occupation referenced in her threats. I realized the chanting was not general prayer but likely directed against me. Her prayers happen alongside or after verbal tirades in English—accusing me of being a criminal and wishing me harm.

I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but it’s been emotionally difficult. I’m trying to understand if this use of prayer has any precedent or religious meaning, or if this might be a personal misuse of something sacred.

My questions:

• What are the norms around prayer in Judaism (volume, setting, timing)?
• Is prayer generally intended to be private or public?
• Are there expectations about how prayer is used, especially if done in close proximity to others?

I appreciate any guidance or cultural insight. I’m just trying to understand the boundary between religious observance and what feels like intimidation.
