These are deeds which have no limit: the corners of the field left for the poor, the first fruit offerings, festival offerings, acts of loving-kindness, the study of Torah. |

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.

Thank you for replacing “melech” with “ruach” in Modeh Ani. I learned it as a really nice song at summer camp, and although I’m generally fine with melech and adon and avinu malkeinu and all, this was a stroke of genius! Must remember this tactic for the future. I will be much more encouraged to regularly use it as a morning prayer this way. Hope your Pesach is gonna rawk.
