Our one God of Shalom, who brings us together to be one family, having just celebrated July 4th, inspire our tireless Senators these trying times of unique challenge and singular opportunity to safeguard and increase our blessings in our beloved and leading land of flourishing democracy. | |
Enable and ennoble these faithful partners of Yours to be coworkers with the Creator– for that is our glory– in the healing of society’s blemishes, yet turning our planet Earth into a paradise for all. Facing complex issues and raging debates, allow them to connect to the inner calming call of divine presence, awed by the wonder of being and reassured by the spirit of renewal at the heart of life’s awesome drama. May they perceive in their own journey God’s guiding hand of majesty, mystery, and mastery, ever sustained in both trial and triumph. | |
As son of Polish Holocaust survivors, I thank You and America. | |
Amen. |

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
