Shiviti with circumlocutions (safer to print) | Shiviti without circumlocutions (genizah interrment preferred) | Notes (ODT | PDF)
The first Shiviti I created was one I made by hand around 2014 at Kol Zimra,[1] A chant leader’s professional development program led by Rabbi Shefa Gold. at a craft shiviti making workshop taught by art therapist Judith Dack with Rabbi Shefa Gold. I was later inspired by the Shiviti rendered in vector art (SVG) by Andrew Meit published on Open Siddur. Andrew had converted a Shiviti from a raster image provided by Aharon Varady, that had originally been shared by the sofer, Ba’al haKokhav (a pseudonym of the author of a now inaccessible post of a once popular messaging board online.)
The SVG file was created by hand coding XML in a text editor with Unicode Hebrew and hyperlink sources for texts to Sefaria and Open Siddur (no design tools were used). The open-source vector art application Inkscape was used to render the PNG (raster graphic at 400dpi resolution) and PDF (with embedded font and hyperlinks) directly from the SVG. The only technical requirement should be availability of the font “Stam Ashkenaz CLM”.
