May the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls in their sacred work. | |
On this day after bittersweet Memorial Day, may the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls with the courage to hold complexity. May they pursue a bright future, while remembering those at risk of being left behind. May they find opportunity in diversity. God, grant them the strength to hold complexity in Your complicated world. | |
On this day after Memorial Day, remembering those who died in service, may the One who blessed our ancestors bless these souls in their service. Grant them the energy to serve with compassion. May they see Your divine face in the face of each person they serve, and in their own reflections. As these souls serve those created in Your image, may their compassion and mercy shine. | |
God, thank You for the opportunity to serve Your varied and beautiful creation. |

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.
