Holy One, Thank You for these tears of relief, for the shock of being able to move once again, for the strange sudden realization that my brain doesn’t have to fight the pain. Just for an instant, I feel so tired and so overwhelmed, so transfixed by the quiet in my body that I’m not sure what to do with myself. | |
Thank You for the physical therapists and doctors and surgeons and office managers who maintain and tend to all of us, holding us when we feel weak, sharing Your Touch of Life with so many. I promise to not take for granted this body You’ve loaned me. | |
Blessed are You, Healer, for imbuing Your Images with the capacity to heal. | |
Amen. |

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 90:17
