 the HierophantA hierophant is a person who invites participants in a sacred exercise into the presence of that which is deemed holy. The title, hierophant, originated in Ancient Greece and combines the words φαίνω (phainein, "to show") and τα ειρα (ta hiera, "the holy"); hierophants served as interpreters of sacred mysteries and arcane principles. For the Open Siddur Project, the Hierophant welcomes new contributors and explains our mission: ensuring creatively inspired work intended for communal use is shared freely for creative reuse and redistribution. http://gravatar.com/opensiddur“מאַכט אײַער אייגענעם סידור!” (Yoel Matveyev, Yiddish Daily Forverts 2019)Contributed on: י״ד באב ה׳תשפ״א (2021-07-23) by the Hierophant | ❧ An article in the Yiddish Daily Forverts (Forward) on the activities of the Open Siddur Project and its founder, Aharon Varady. . . . testing lightboxContributed on: ד׳ בטבת ה׳תשפ״א (2020-12-18) by the Hierophant | ❧ A test page for a wordpress lightbox plugin. . . .
