This is an original Esperanto translation of Ein K’Eloheinu, with a transcription using my own original Hebraization schema. Thank you to Erin Piateski for invaluable help in the proofreading phase! I’ve also included a sheet-music setting of the text with the Ashkenazi-rite coda. A recording will be made in the near future.

- 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.

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.
