The Siddur as a Whole
The draft format has only included the Shabbat services, though an earlier draft for the annual conference in June 2004 included the daily services, the Thanksgiving After Meals and Havdalah. The final version of the book will contain in addition the Psalm Anthology and ‘Sayings of the Fathers’ as in the current volume. The new Study Anthology includes a major section on Jewish prayer and liturgy so that the Siddur will be a major educational as well as spiritual resource. The other three study sections are on ‘Life’s Journey’, ‘Society and Community’, ‘The Life of the Spirit’.
Between the Services and the Anthology sections, is a new feature. This includes an enlarged ‘Home Services’ section, a ‘Calendar for the Year’, Prayers and Passages for major public events and concerns. A new section offers prayers for more personal ‘life-cycle’ moments and events, providing materials that can be used in conjunction with the Study Anthology. As with the existing Siddur it is our hope that the new volume will be used as much at home and privately as it is in the synagogue and publicly.
