Source of Life, Creator of All Diversity, we honor today the beauty and dignity of those whose bodies and identities expand our understanding of humanity, holding space for those who have been unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. We remember those who have struggled to live fully and freely in a world that has not yet learned to cherish the full spectrum of human experience. | |
Guide us, Holy One, to embrace Your image in all its forms, and help us to recognize the sacredness in each life and body. | |
May we be sources of healing where there has been harm, of understanding where there has been silence, and of light for those who have been cast in shadow. | |
Teach us, as Rabbi Meir taught, that “a coin struck from the same die is alike in every way, but the blessed Holy One creates every person in the image of the first human, and yet each one is unique” (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5). May we, like You, honor the holiness in every being, exactly as they are. | |
Blessed are You, Eternal Source, who sanctifies us with the wisdom to see Your infinite image reflected in all of creation. May we be guardians of dignity, champions of justice, and instruments of love, today and always. |

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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
