The Open Siddur is pleased to announce the first contribution of a contemporary translation of the siddur. Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi contributed his Weekday Siddur and Sabbath Supplement: Siddur Tehillat HaShem. Siddur Tehillat HaShem presents Reb Zalman’s creative translation in English of Psalms, blessings, the Amidah, liturgical poetry, meditations, and other prayers read daily and on Friday evening. Reb Zalman contributed his siddur soon after being contacted by the Open Siddur Project having grokked the potential of free culture and shared resources to renew Jewish culture and spirituality. Thank you Reb Zalman!
The Open Siddur Project will be formatting the text of Siddur Tehillat Hashem siddur in XML according to our JLPTEI specification. In that way the modular components of the siddur will be added to our growing archive of siddur content that can be accessed as a whole or as sections as part of our Open Siddur web application. Until that work is completed, Reb Zalman’s siddur can be accessed as ODT and PDF documents in the links below.

The Open Siddur Project is non-denominational and welcomes contributions of siddur content in any language spoken by Jews: translations, prayers, commentaries, instructional text and meditations, as well as the text of historical nusḥaot and their contemporary adaptations. Our goal is to prepare an archive of the texts of the siddur showing the entire history of the siddur in its respective nusḥaot and a web application to present these texts for inclusion in personally customized Jewish prayer books. For more information on how to contribute your siddur, translation, commentary, or other works to the Open Siddur Project, please read our submission guide.
