Siddur Eit Ratzon is a traditional prayerbook ("Siddur" in
Hebrew) designed for those who seek spirituality and meaning beyond what
they have found in conventional prayerbooks
- it presents the morning prayers as a spiritual journey, and guides
you through that journey
- it discusses directly your philosophical concerns with traditional
prayers, and offers alternative theological perspectives on these prayers
- it provides a translation that speaks to the modern reader and that
can readily be used for "davenning" (that is, praying, aloud
or silently) in English as well as Hebrew
- it refers to God using contemporary English terms that are relevant
to our experience, and addresses God primarily in the second person,
so that the prayers are more personal as well as gender-neutral
- it includes guideposts for beginners and for those seeking to broaden
their prayer experience
- it provides a line-by-line transliteration of the entire Hebrew text
to help you participate more fully in the service
- it provides new prayers and meditations that can be used for personal
or communal prayer
In addition to these global features of Siddur Eit Ratzon, there are
a number of additional local
features that you may find interesting.
