🡄 (Previous category) :: 📁 🌐 Non-Binary People's Day (July 14th)  🌐 Day of Democracy (September 15th)This is an archive of civic prayers composed for, or relevant to, the International Day of Democracy, commemorated by all UN member states for the sake of promoting and upholding democracy, a fundamental principle outlined under Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. First observed in 2008, the day was ratified through United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/62/7, “Support by the United Nations system of the efforts of Governments to promote and consolidate new or restored democracies.” The resolution was introduced after the sixth conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), an international organization of national parliaments established in 1889. Its primary purpose is to promote democratic governance, accountability, and cooperation among its members; other initiatives include advancing gender parity among legislatures, empowering youth participation in politics, and sustainable development.

Support this work:
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
