“Praxis” (pl. praxes) is a concise word for describing an experiential practice — in other words, an activity.

This category is somewhat experimental. We initially imagined this category would contain all manner of instructions for participation and fulfillment of meaningful and significant private and communal activities. The siddur certainly contains such texts, in large or very briefly summarized. Over time, we’ve noticed that “praxis” also describes the context in which many prayers are offered. While we intended to use the taxonomy of “tags” for descriptive purposes, we are maintaining “praxes” as another means of organizing resources in addition to the calendar and subject based categories we also employ.
