Publicly launched in 5769 (2009), the Open Siddur is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, and non-prescriptive community project growing a vast collection of digitized Jewish prayers, liturgies, and related works (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure), composed in every era, region, and language Jews, adjacent communities, and fellow travelers have ever prayed. For those working with the content of Jewish devotional practice, (e.g., on סִדּוּרִים, siddurim — prayerbooks), our goal is to provide text, tools, and resources shared under open/libre terms for adaptive reuse. Through this effort we hope to empower personal autonomy, to preserve customs, to cross-pollinate wisdom, and to foster openness and vitality in religious culture.


Project Activity & Recent Contributors

The project activity "heatmap" below displays a calendrical grid of resources published through the project over the course of each year since the inauguration of this project website. Alongside is a display of project contributors (authors and translators), who have contributed through the project in the last 30 days. (For a full index of project contributors, go here.) The view expressed by any one individual contributor represents their own point-of-view and reflects the plurality of voices expressed through this project. Any individual viewpoint does not necessarily represent that of any other volunteer contributor, the project's developers, or any of its institutional partners. Contributors whose portraits are unavailable are displayed as a tree in a field, per Deuteronomy 20:19.
