עֵת בָּאָה שַׁבָּת אֶל בֵּיתֵנוּ, עֵת עוֹרְכִים אָנוּ אֶת הַשֻּׁלְחָן, נַעֲלֶה הַתְּפִלָּה מִלִּבֵּנוּ, כִּתְרוּמַת הַבָּצֵק הַמּוּכָן. |
As Shabbat comes into our home As we set the festive table May a prayer rise from our hearts – The gift of the ready dough. |
שֶׁנֵּדַע לְהַפְרִישׁ מִזְּמַנֵּנוּ, מִן הַיְּכֹלֶת וּמִן הַנְּכָסִים, שֶׁנֵּדַע לְפָרֵשׁ מִלּוֹתֵינוּ, גְּלוּיִים וְלֹא מְכֻסִּים. |
Help us find a way to set aside A little of our time, our skills, and our means, May we learn to offer our own words – Honest and uncovered. |
שֶׁמֶּחֱווֹת הַזּוּלַת יִתְפָּרְשׁוּ כָּאן לְכַף זְכוּת וּבְעַיִן טוֹבָה, וְיִפְרֹשׁ מֵעָלֵינוּ כָּל צַעַר, כָּל מַכְאוֹב וְכָל דְּאָבָה. |
Let us interpret the gestures of others Positively and generously May all sorry, pain, and worry Be drawn away from us. |
שֶׁנִּפְרֹשׁ מִיָּמִים שֶׁחָלְפוּ כְּבָר, נַשְׁאִירֵם מֵאָחוֹר בְּחִיּוּךְ, וְנִפְרֹשׂ בְּשִׂמְחָה עַל בֵּיתֵנוּ, יוֹם שַׁבָּת מְנַחֵם וּבָרוּךְ. |
Let us set aside the days that have gone Leaving them behind with a smile May we spread joyfully over our home A comforting and blessed Shabbat day |
אֵת סֻכַּת שְׁלוֹמֶךָ פְּרֹשׂ עָלֵינוּ, רַחֲמִים וְחַיִּים וְשָׁלוֹם, לְהַנִּיחַ בְּרָכָה אֶל בֵּיתֵנוּ, לְפָרֵשׁ מִלִּבֵּנוּ חֲלוֹם. |
Set the Sukkah of Shalom over us Mercy, life, and peace May a blessing may be placed on our home – A dream drawn from our hearts. |

- We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
- If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

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
