They aren't Artscroll. They're Eit Ratzon (not to be confused with Siddur Eit Ratzon, which is a siddur that has English, Hebrew, and transliteration).

Pink artscroll machzorim for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

hello all! on this Trans Day of Visibility, i'm so pleased to announce the release of the full Volume I of Siddur Davar Ḥadash, an attempt to imagine a de-gendered, de-stigmatized Jewish liturgy for Shabbat and Festivals. this full release includes the full morning and afternoon liturgies in addition to the previously available evening service, and all Hebrew prayers are fully transliterated and translated into English. the siddur is freely available as a PDF, HTML page, and plaintext file; click on over and check it out if it seems like something you'd be into!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Siddur? I would love one that has Hebrew and English and is transliterated.

Thank you in advance!

A Siddur belonging to Marilyn Monroe, complete with her annotations in pencil. many remember her as a sex symbol who lived a difficult life, but few know of her conversion & devotion to Judaism.

"Everybody's always out to get them, no matter what they do," said Monroe. "like me."

so ive been trying out different shuls because of moving and i went to a reform one last shabbat (im usually conservative

is editing everything that mentions jews being different from other people or zionism normal for reform siddours? can someone help me understand the reasoning? to my eyes it had seemed odd vibes/like we were self censoring and policing the stuff the goyim didn't like. why add stuff in about the validity of other people's gods?

Please only polite answers with a FoR reform. No clowning on this post please.

A medieval manuscript, believed to be the oldest Jewish book in the world, is now on view in New York City.

The Afghan Liturgical Quire, which dates to approximately the year 700 CE, is on display at the Jewish Theological Seminary Library in Morningside Heights as part of an exhibit, “Sacred Words: Revealing the Earliest Hebrew Book” that opens Wednesday and runs until July 17.

Also known as the Afghan Siddur, the diminutive prayer book measures five inches by five inches and “is comprised of prayers, poems, and pages of the oldest discovered Passover Haggadah, which was mysteriously written upside down,” according to a JTS press release.

“Far more ancient written Hebrew texts had been discovered, but only on scrolls, most famously the roughly 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls that are displayed prominently in Israel,” according to JTA. “The carbon dating indicated that this was the earliest intact Hebrew codex by more than a century.”

Given to me this mother's day by my aunt - she can't remember who in the family had it prior to her. My mom has one in ivory from 1917 - a gift to her grandmother (my great-grandmother) upon her confirmation. Looking up Avodat Israel siddurim and finding origin points from the 1880's to the 1960's. So gorgeous!

Have you ever given up on following along with the service and started counting the Es in the bilingual sidddur someone handed you because you looked lost since if you begin contemplating the fact that you have no clue what you’re doing and you have a deep feeling that you will never belong anywhere even among your own people you will start sobbing in the middle of the Shavuot celebration

Y'ALL!! CHECK OUT THIS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HANDMADE SIDDUR!

In this letterpress-printed and hand-bound pocket siddur, you'll find an intention-setting prayer to recite before taking a step towards gender transition and blessings for trans milestones like taking hormones or coming out. These texts draw on the rich and vibrant Jewish liturgical tradition in order to create new rituals for trans life.

The five texts in this book, printed in Hebrew, transliteration, and English translation, were originally written by Lexi Kohanski, Binya Koatz, Hannah Maya, and Rabbi Elliot Kukla for an online anthology called "Tefillat Trans," compiled by SVARA, a traditionally radical yeshiva in Chicago. With generous and enthusiastic permission from the authors and compilers, they are presented here in a deliciously ornamental chapbook, printed in deep purple ink and bound with gold and silver thread. It is dedicated to my friend and mentor Sarah Sands, who so beautifully exemplifies trans Jewish resilience and creative flourishing.

At its heart, this project is by Jewish trans people, for Jewish trans people. If that describes you and you cannot afford the price listed here, please reach out through the contact form on this website so that I can send you a copy at a sliding scale price which is accessible for you.
