Siddur
Siddur ( Hebrew סידור 'Order' , plural: Siddurim) is the common name for the Jewish prayer book for everyday life and the Sabbath .
description
The word "Siddur" means "order"; it comes from the Hebrew rootסדר sdr , German 'order' and denotes the order and sequence of the prayers. The name “ Seder ” for the celebration of Passover in the home goes back to the same root .
A Siddur contains the prayers for everyday life and the Sabbath , these are the morning ( Shacharit ), afternoon ( Mincha ) and evening prayers ( Maariw ) and the Mussaf prayer , which is only said on the Sabbath and on public holidays. In addition, the Siddur contains blessings that are said in the synagogue or at home, and prayers for special occasions as well as the most important prayers for the high holidays. The prayers are printed in the traditional Hebrew text with vocalization , often with translations in the respective national language. In Reform Judaism , depending on the denomination, more or fewer prayers are prayed in the national language.
Ashkenazi and Sephardic Siddurim differ, if not significantly; there are also differences depending on the local rite and denomination . There are special prayer books for the holidays , known as machzors . The distinction between Siddur and Machsor is more recent and is not made in all Jewish communities.
