Aharon N. Varady (digital imaging and document preparation)

Aharon Varady, founding director of the Open Siddur Project, is a copyright researcher and amateur book scanner. He prepares digital images and new digital editions of prayer books and related works in the Public Domain in order to make their constituent parts (prayers, translations, annotations, etc.) publicly accessible for collaborative transcription by project volunteers. (In some cases, he finds existing digital editions prepared by others that require correction and reformatting.) If you appreciate his efforts, please send him a kind note or contribute to his patreon account.

📖 שִׁילֹה סִדּוּר תְּפִלָּה לְשַׁבָּת וּלְיוֹם טוֹב | Shilo Prayer Book [for Shabbat & Festivals] for Junior Congregations (1932/1966)

Contributed by: Aharon N. Varady (digital imaging and document preparation), Ẓevi Scharfstein (translation)

שילה סדור תפלה לשבת וליום טוב Shilo Prayer Book for Junior Congregations (1966) is an abridged, bilingual Hebrew-English siddur by Ẓevi Scharfstein (1884-1972). The siddur for Jewish youth congregations is adapted from תפלתינו: סדור לכל השנה Tefilaténu: Siddur l’Khol ha-Shanah (1932), reprinted numerous times, albeit with line numbers and without an English translation. Here, Scharfstein’s translation accompanies the Hebrew and forgoes the line numbers. It is the only edition of a siddur from Shilo Publishing House containing an English translation.


📖 תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ: סִדּוּר לְכׇל הַשָּׁנָה (אשכנז) | Tefilaténu: Siddur l’Khol haShanah, compiled by Ẓevi Scharfstein (1932)

Contributed by: Aharon N. Varady (digital imaging and document preparation), Ẓevi Scharfstein (translation)

ִתְּפִלָּתֵינוּ: סִדּוּר לְכׇל הַשָּׁנָה Tefilaténu: Siddur l’Khol haShanah (1932) a/k/a סִדּוּר שִׁילֹֹה is an everyday (kol-bo) nusaḥ Ashkenaz siddur by Ẓevi Scharfstein (1884-1972). The siddur has been reprinted many times over the last century and is ubiquitous in Hebrew Day Schools in the United States as a child’s first siddur. Unlike any others to our knowledge, it contains line numbers — a pedagogical feature for classroom use. That is contains no accompanying translation may be considered a feature, rather than a problem, for educators who intend their students to become more familiar with the source liturgy than any one possible translation.
