בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ מָקוֹר הַחַיִּים שֶׁבָּרָא אוֹתָנוּ בְּצַלְמוֹ, וּמַּזְמִין אוֹתָנוּ לְחַדֵּשׁ בְּכָל יוֹם תָּמִיד מַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ יוֹצֵר יְצִירִים׃ |
Blessed are You, Hashem Source of Life Who created us in Your image[1] Genesis 1:27 and invites us to renew daily, perpetually, the work of creation.[2] Cf. the prayer following the opening blessing of Shaḥarit: הַמֵּאִיר לָאָרֶץ וְלַדָּרִים עָלֶיהָ בְּרַחֲמִים. וּבְטוּבו מְחַדֵּשׁ בְּכָל יום תָּמִיד מַעֲשה בְרֵאשִׁית. (“The one who illuminates the land and those who dwell upon it with compassion; and in their goodness renews daily, perpetually, the work of Creation.”) Blessed are You, Hashem, Who created us creative. |
“A Blessing for Creating” comes by way of David A.M. Wilensky (with approval by the blessing’s author, Rabbi Adina Allen) who shared a photo on Facebook of a posterboard on which the blessing was written. The poster was made for the first ever Kabbalat Shabbat organized by the Jewish Studio Project, whose mission is “to activate creativity in individuals and communities to reclaim Jewish values, make meaning in our lives and restore hope to the world.” Niqqud (vocalization) added by Aharon Varady.

Support this work:
The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, 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. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
