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) :: 📁 Rosh Ḥodesh Av (אָב)  Rosh Ḥodesh Elul (אֶלוּל)This is an archive of prayers and songs written for, or relevant to, Rosh Ḥodesh Elul, the sixth month in the Jewish calendar. Rosh Ḥodesh Elul also coincides with Rosh Hashanah la-Behemah, the New Year’s Day for Animals (specifically, domesticated animals) — a birthday for animals conceived in the previous year. The day marks the beginning of a season of introspection and repentance in the late summer or early autumn in anticipation of the Yamim Nora’im (Rosh haShanah, Yom Kippur, and Hoshanah Rabbah), preparations for the prayer for rain on Shemini Atseret at the onset of the wet season.

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
