Great God! You performed miracles by water many times: the Righteous Noaḥ was saved from the flood, Moshe our Master was drawn from the water, the Well of Miriam went along with the Jews through the desert [providing] water. Show your miracle today too, [that] I be helped through these waters, to be rewarded with a son who will be wholesomely righteous, who will learn Torah day and night, [and] who will illuminate for me after my long days a straight path into Paradise[1] also an allusion to reciting Kaddish . In his merit, may I merit to sit with the Matriarchs in one company in the World to Come — Amen. |

Translated by Baruch Jean Thaler.

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.
