I downloaded and printed the Karaite Prayerbook and am totally confused. The first six and a half pages were headed, “Weekday Evening Prayer.” Following pages were for Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, with nothing designated for Friday. Then more prayers for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then several pages of Weekday Sanctification followed by several pages of text for Saturday night, followed by a Silent Prayer, Spoken Prayer and Imparting Greetings. What are weekdays if not Sunday through Thursday? Are the texts designated for those days in addition to the weekday evening prayer? But more importantly, what about Friday evening, at the onset of Shabbat?

  If you’re looking at this PDF, Sabbath evening prayers (a/k/a Friday evening, onset of sabbath) begin at the bottom of page 44.
  If you’re looking at the webpage, the contents of the siddur are organized in tabbed groupings.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
