Creator of all, at this time when Jews around the world are preparing for Purim— for a time of confronting hate and persecution with courage, pride, and a sense of humor— help us find that laughter and that love for ourselves and one another, even when the world seems to be crashing down around us. | |
When the world is upside down, teach us how to cartwheel, audaciously adapting and returning rooted, always back to who we truly are.[1] Cf. Esther 9:1. | |
May our bold open-heartedness bring forth a world of peace, of righteousness, and of jubilation for our families, for our communities, for our Nation, and for all who dwell on Earth. | |
We know that every soul deserves peace. We know that every soul deserves celebration. May we be Your vessels to bring that time about quickly and in our day. | |
And let us say: Amen. |

- 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.
