Hashem, as I open my Siddur,
let me pray with proper kavanah. Let me pray with sincerity, paying careful attention to every word I utter. |
|
|
Hashem, let me concentrate with my whole being
on the meaning of each and every word, sentence and prayer. Keep my mind from wandering to other subjects, and keep me from neglecting to put my heart and soul into each and every prayer, praise and blessing. |
|
|
May my prayer come before You, O Hashem,
at a time of grace, and may it be accepted favorably by You. Amen. |

Support this work:
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.
