יהי רצון [מלפניך יהוה אלהינו ואלהי אבותנו ואמותנו] שהפתק אשר שם אנכי בקלפי יצטרף לעוד אלפי פתקים שיבטיחו מנהיגות שפויה שתחזק את הערכים הדמוקרטיים, תשאף לשלום עם שכנינו, תפריד דת ומדינה, תדאג לחלשים ותגן על העובדים, תילחם בשחיתות ותנהיג באמצעות הדוגמא האישית. |
May it be the will [before YHVH our elo’ah the elo’ah of our ancestors]
that this ticket which I am placing in my ballot will join thousands of other tickets that will promise reasoned leadership that will strengthen democratic values, aspire towards peace with our neighbors, separate religion and state, be concerned with the weak and protect the laborers, fight corruption and exercise leadership through personal role modeling. |

ויהי רצון [מלפניך יהוה אלהינו ואלהי אבותנו ואמותנו] שהעם היושב בציון יזכה לשנים של חופש, שקט, עשייה, חינוך ובריאות טובה ושילדינו לא יפחדו כלל. |
May it be the will [before YHVH our elo’ah the elo’ah of our ancestors]
that the nation sitting in Tsiyon will merit years of freedom, quiet, productivity, education and good health and that our children may never fear at all. |

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libré 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.

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 90:17PDF (or Print) |

May it be the will [before the Lord our God and the God of our ancestors] that this ticket which I am placing in my ballot will join thousands of other tickets that will promise reasoned leadership that will strengthen democratic values, aspire towards peace with our neighbors, separate religion and state, be concerned with the weak and protect the laborers, fight corruption and exercise leadership through personal role modeling. May it be the will [before the Lord our God and the God of our ancestors] that the nation sitting in Zion will merit years of freedom, quiet, productivity, education and good health and that our children may never fear at all.
