The Open Siddur Project, founded in 2009, is a a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, and non-prescriptive community project growing a gratis and libré Open Access archive of Jewish prayer, liturgy, and related works (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, to preserve customs, and to foster openness and vitality in religious culture.
The Open Siddur Project is fiscally sponsored by Jewish Creativity International, a 501(3)c recognized non-profit.
