Siddur Birkat Shalom
One of the ways Havurat Shalom expresses our commitment to egalitarianism is by davenning with Siddur Birkat Shalom, a prayer book being developed by our own Siddur Project. Siddur Birkat Shalom contains the entire Shabbat and festival morning service as well as selected holiday prayers including the prayer for dew, prayer for rain, and Yizkor (the memorial service).
Features of this work-in-progress include:
~ Hebrew and English egalitarian language for both God and humans
~ New, original blessing for diversity
~ Greater variety of God images
~ New perspectives on Jews and non-Jews, good and evil, reward and punishment, and hierarchy
You can purchase Siddur Birkat Shalom for $20.00, or we will give you the PDF for free. Send a check with a note that it's for the siddur to Havurat Shalom 113 College Ave, Somerville, MA 02144, or make an on-line donation and email info@thehav.org that it's for a siddur.
