a community-grown, libre Open Access archive of Jewish prayer and liturgical resources — for those crafting their own prayerbooks and sharing the content of their practice |
🡄 (Previous category) :: 📁 🇮🇱 Yom haNətiōt (Planting Day)  🇮🇱 Yom ha-Ém (30 Shəvat)This is an archive of prayers composed for, or relevant to, יוֹם הָאֵם Yom ha-Ém (“Mothers’ Day”). The unofficial civic day was originally set on the yahrẓeit of Henrietta Szold (21 December 1860 – 13 February 1945). Although Szold had no biological children, Szold championed children’s rights and her organization Youth Aliyah rescued many Jewish children from Nazi Germany and provided for them. For this, she is remembered as the “mother” of all those children. Over the last seventy years, Yom ha-Ém developed into a celebration of familial affection, more often simply called יוֹם הַמִשְּפָּחָה (Yom ha-Mishpaḥah, Family Day) and celebrated on the 13th of Shevat. This day is mainly observed in preschools and kindergartens with a program or activity to which parents are invited. ☞ If you have composed a prayer for Mothers’ Day, please share it.

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
