Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is a prayer for democracy is an appeal to each other and to everyone who realizes what real freedom is and how fragile it is if we are not alert. Whether you call that praying or something else, that does not matter. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): While the theme of the Shema is dedicating oneself to the Divine and their Teaching, this paraliturgical Shema is dedicated to internalizing Jewish identity mindful of the experience of past generations and one’s responsibility to future ones. Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., German vernacular prayer, Jewish identity, paraliturgical shema Contributor(s): מַחֲזוֹר לְראֹשׁ השנה Majzor leRosh Hashanah (1976) is the first edition of a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish nusaḥ Sefaradi Rosh haShanah prayerbook compiled and translated by Rabbi Meir Matsliaḥ Melamed (1920-1989). Rabbi Melamed had in 1971 been installed at the pulpit of the Cuban Sephardic Hebrew Congregation, after having served previously in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where his 1966 Hebrew-Portuguese siddur Tefilat Masliaḥ was first published. For both prayerbooks, as no Hebrew type with vocalization and cantillation marks was available to Rabbi Melamed, liturgy was reproduced from images of older siddurim. Rabbi Melamed’s translation appears to the sides of these images and his commentary underneath. This is the first edition of סִדּוּר תְּפִלַּת מַצְלִיחַ Sidur Tefillat Masliah (Libro de Oraciones) (1974), a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish nusaḥ Sefaradi prayerbook compiled and translated by Rabbi Meir Matsliaḥ Melamed (1920-1989). As no Hebrew type with vocalization and cantillation marks was available to printers in Brazil, where Rabbi Matsliaḥ first began compiling prayerbooks, he developed a process of reproducing the liturgy from images of older siddurim and, occasionally, typewritten text. Rabbi Melamed’s translation appears to the sides of these images and his commentary underneath. This Spanish edition was preceded by a bilingual Hebrew-Portuguese edition published in Brazil in 1966. הַגָּדָה שֶׁל פֶּסַח Hagada de Pesaj (1973) is the first edition of a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish nusaḥ Sefaradi Passover haggadah compiled and translated by Rabbi Meir Matsliaḥ Melamed (1920-1989). Rabbi Melamed had in 1971 been installed at the pulpit of the Cuban Sephardic Hebrew Congregation, after having served previously in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where his 1966 Hebrew-Portuguese siddur Tefilat Masliaḥ was first published. For that prayerbook, as with this haggadah, no Hebrew type with vocalization and cantillation marks was available to Rabbi Melamed, so liturgy was reproduced from images of older authoritative works. Rabbi Melamed’s translation appears to the sides of these images and his commentary underneath. מַחֲזוֹר לְיוֹם כִּפּוּר Majzor leYom Kipur (Mexico: 1972) is the second edition of a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish nusaḥ Sefaradi Yom Kippur prayerbook compiled and translated by Rabbi Meir Matsliaḥ Melamed (1920-1989), first published in 1968. (This “second edition” appears to be more of a “second printing” than an update or revision of the first edition.) As no Hebrew type with vocalization and cantillation marks was available to Rabbi Melamed at the time, liturgy was reproduced from images of older siddurim. Rabbi Melamed’s translation appears to the sides of these images and his commentary underneath. סדור לחול לשבת וליום טוב Ritual de Oraciones para Todo el Año (1965) is a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish prayerbook for the entire year compiled and translated by Rabbi Marcos Edery z”l, and published by the World Council of [Conservative] Synagogues. Besides the liturgy of the siddur, this prayerbook includes essays concerning prayer by 20th century scholars in Spanish translation, such as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Israel Abrahams. תפלת ערבית לשבת ולשלש רגלים Ritual de Oraciones para Servicios Vespertinos Sabaticos y Festividades (1963) is a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish prayerbook for Shabbat and Festival evenings compiled and translated by Marcos Edery and published by the World Council of Synagogues for Latin America. Categories: Maḥzorim for Pesaḥ, Shabbat Siddurim, Maḥzorim for Shavuot, Maḥzorim for Sukkot, Maḥzorim for Shemini Atseret Tags: Contributor(s): The four freedoms as articulated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his address before the 77th Congress of the United States. This prayer for the United States of America was offered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of his Radio Campaign Address at Hyde Park, New York on 4 November 1940. The prayer was adapted by Roosevelt from one he referred to it in his speech as “an old prayer.” That prayer was originally offered by Rev. Anson Phelps Stoke, canon of the Washington Cathedral (Washington DC), a guest chaplain before the Senate on 25 April 1932. Roosevelt, or a speech write, adapted the text of the prayer by removing the final line, thereby making the prayer a more inclusive and ecumenical civic prayer. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Prayers of Guest Chaplains, World War Ⅱ Contributor(s): A schedule for the reading of psalms for the Jewish calendar year including festivals, special Shabbatot, and for each Shabbat with its parashah, according to Isaac Seligman Baer in his Seder Avodat Yisrael (1868).

Adapted by Thomas A’Becket, Sr. around 1843 from the British patriotic song “Britannia, the Pride of the Ocean”, Columbia was long used as an unofficial national anthem of the United States, in competition with other songs.
