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.
