The Siddur — The Jewish Prayer Book
The Siddur (סִדּוּר) is the traditional Jewish prayer book, containing a set order of daily prayers, blessings, and readings. The word 'Siddur' comes from the Hebrew root meaning 'order.' It is the central text used for the three daily prayer services — Shacharit (morning), Mincha (afternoon), and Arvit (evening) — as well as special prayers for Shabbat, holidays, and life-cycle events.
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One." (Deuteronomy 6:4) — The Shema, the central declaration of Jewish faith, found in every Siddur.
About the Siddur
