Rivka Jaussi  Rivka JaussiAs a German-speaking poet, I translate Jewish prayers and Torah passages interpretatively into German. I am inspired by conversations with other Jews who are looking for a contemporary German translation that can be used alongside or in place of the Hebrew. This was my experience with the first egalitarian Minyan group in Berlin between 1995 and 1998. The group initially met in private rooms and later moved to Oranienburger Straße. The basis was an "Open Siddur" that developed over the years. Today, an egalitarian congregation with its own ritual is located in the New Synagogue on Oranienburger Straße.

Contributed by: Rivka Jaussi My (interpretative) translations of Jewish prayer texts are intended to offer an opportunity to integrate a short pause with just a few words in Hebrew and/or German into daily life. In this example: to appreciate the new morning in a Jewish way (Birchot haShachar). . . . | ||
