    What actions and services done by the goyim have been stolen from Judaism. Please list even if it has been twisted almost beyond recognition, as most of the many stolen things have been.

    The God of the Jews created oxygen and it’s constantly being stolen from us by non-Jews at every moment. Give it back!!

    Muslim prostration during prayer. They also turn and say “Salam Aleikum, Aleikum Salam” after their prayers which I am assuming comes from Kiddush Lavana.

    Catholic and Greek Orthodox use of incense by the priests in their holy spots.

    Obviously the Eucharist of wine and wafer are taken from our wine and challah (or matzah).
