Am Anfang schufst Du eine einfache Welt: Tag und Nacht, Wasser und Erde, Pflanzen und Tiere. |
In the beginning you created a simple world: day and night, water and earth, plants and animals. | |
Dann schufst Du die Menschen im göttlichen Abbild und in Deinem Bild schufst Du sie. |
Then you created the human beings in the Divine image. In Your image you created them. | |
Dein göttliches Abbild, das wir nicht erfassen und verstehen können. Dein Bild, das alle unsere menschlichen Grenzen und Kategorien überschreitet. Du schaffst uns mit vielen verschiedenen Identitäten und Orientierungen, mit vielen Geschlechtern oder keinem. |
The Divine image, which we cannot fathom or understand. Your image which transcends all of our human limits and categories. You create us with different identities and orientations, with many genders or none. | |
So wie Du vor dem Tag die Morgenröte bringst, die weder Nacht noch Tag ist. So wie Du vor der Nacht die Abenddämmerung, die weder Tag noch Nacht ist. In dieser Vielfalt schaffst Du auch uns immer wieder. |
As you bring dawn before the day, which is neither night nor day. As you bring dusk before the night, which is neither day nor night. You create us in this diversity over and over again. | |
Jeder und jede von uns ist eine neue von Dir geschaffene Welt. Und zu jedem und jeder von uns sprichst Du: „Du bist sehr gut.“ |
Each one of us is a new world which You create. And you say to each one of us: „You are very good.“ | |
בְּרוּכָה אַתְּ מְקוֹר הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר יוֹצֶרֶת אֶת הָאָדָם וּמַעֲרִיבָה עֲרָבִים. |
Gepriesen seist Du, Quelle der Schöpfung, Du schaffst uns in Deinem Abbild und bringst die Nacht herbei. |
Blessed are You, Source of Creation, You create us in Your image and bring on the night. |

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 volunteer contributors, or its 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.

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
