please enjoy our family's Tu bShvat table!

Closeup of three haggadot with a fruiting and flowering full colour botanical drawing of pomegranates overlaid with a black and white circle of moonphases, labeled in English and Hebrew as Seder Tu bShvat and Rosh Hashanah l'Ilanot

Closeup of a cheeseboard. Top left, clockwise as follows. Round container of herbed soft cheese, small jar of almonds, sliced red pear, a spoon, two white ramekins of olives, the lower stuffed with almonds, cut parmesan cheese, sliced brie. In center dried figs, golden raisins, and dried apricots.

Closeup shot of flowering white stonefruit blossoms. A cluster of 4 is visible, with a slightly blurry bud in midground.

An overhead shot of a table mostly set for Tu bShvat (I forgot the orange, cardamom, and water; and the vegetarian chili and yellow cornbread didn't fit). Top left clockwise as follows. Flowering pink tulips in a pink plastic wrap, red wine, a baby plate, white wine, a pecan pie with circular rays pattern, a wineglass, a spoon on yellow gingham napkin, the haggadah described above, a glass turkish teacup, a spoon on a red gingham napkin, another haggadah, a spoon on green gingham napkin, a wineglass, another haggadah. In center the cheeseboard described above and a plate of homemade puffed matzah.

If you're interested in the haggadah, a pdf is available, and I made a post with links to multiple Tu bShvat haggadot.

hello all! on this Trans Day of Visibility, i'm so pleased to announce the release of the full Volume I of Siddur Davar Ḥadash, an attempt to imagine a de-gendered, de-stigmatized Jewish liturgy for Shabbat and Festivals. this full release includes the full morning and afternoon liturgies in addition to the previously available evening service, and all Hebrew prayers are fully transliterated and translated into English. the siddur is freely available as a PDF, HTML page, and plaintext file; click on over and check it out if it seems like something you'd be into!

hey! conversion student who's getting into the portion where I'm studying prayer. Do you have any recommendations for books containing brachot that have them written in hebrew script, hebrew transcription in english, and english translation? Most I'm finding only have two of the three. ty!

Hmmmm, you're right, it is hard to find all three, but here are two I found:

Artscroll Transliteratated Linear (Orthodox)

Mishkan T'Fillah Transliterated (Reform)

You should be able to find Brachot in there :)

advice for reading/memorizing tefillah

good morning jumblr what’s good how is everyone. reform conversion student here.

anyone got any advice on practicing and improving my reading speed/memorization of prayers? i can mostly read hebrew with niqqud, but very slowly. still working on getting some niqqud right, but my goal for this year is to daven completely in hebrew. 

i used gates of prayer for a minute and wrote in the translit., but it feels like the bare minimum for t’filah sometimes, and i want my relationship w/ G-d to be a bit deeper than what most reform siddurim offer.

i currently use siddur ner tamid. i have my first compact koren sacks coming in tomorrow, to add to my siddur collection. ner tamid is a cool siddur for people from a converso background like myself, and it has all of the transliterations included. 

i'm slightly intimidated by the lack of transliterations in koren sacks, and i feel like davening will take forever, because i do read hebrew at a snail's pace, and it frustrates me.

So I haven't received it yet cuz shipping, but I ordered this one from Congregation Sha'ar Zahav because it was highly recommended!

https://shaarzahav.org/our-siddur/

I also discovered that Artscroll is currently giving away siddurim, including non-Ashki ones!

https://hashemlovesyou.net/

I also have and love Mishkan T'filah, and am currently waiting for my travel version to be delivered 😊

Thanks! I'll have to pass on the Sha'ar Zahav for now, it's awfully expensive and I just did a payment plan on my credit card for the Lev Shalem and the Mahzor Lev Shalem together. But I'd be interested to check that one out someday!

But I will take advantage of a free Siddur, if it's not inappropriate, I asked for a Nusach Edot haMizrach, because I would also like to have a Sfaradi perspective even if I'm 90% sure my congregation is Ashkenazi?

Something I’ve been curious about for a while: What siddur do you all use for weekdays (and why)?

#jumblr #judaism #jewish #siddur #textposts #personal #not necessarily looking for recommendations -- i'm just curious what others use!

[yenteleh]

I need some siddur recommendations!

I have a Koren Sacks (weekday + Shabbat) and really like it, but it’s a little too heavy to haul it around with me. I’m looking for something more lightweight and portable. I’d also like it to be:

- Orthodox

- nusach Ashkenaz

- Hebrew/English

- weekday only

- readable print (not too tiny, as is the case with most “pocket” siddurim)

blessing after meals

Image description. Screenshot of blessing after meals in English with a leaf green background. Text is lower in post. Bottom left has handle in black, bottom right has red chop, and right side has a budding almond branch.

this is in my tu bshvat haggadah post, but deserves to have its own separate post to shine. I wrote this today to focus on human connections and natural wonders as our blessing after the meal.

Blessed is all Being, for sustenance and nourishment, the vine and the tree and their fruits, the fruits of the field, the land we live on. May we remember and be remembered by Mercy, and guided by Justice to restore our love for each other. May Compassion rebuild our human family speedily and in our days, so we see each other as holy, and rejoice in each other. Let us eat together at one table of abundance, where we bless each other, all beings, and the earth, the waters, the sky. Let us always remember and give thanks for the wonders of the cosmos, for the stardust above and within our shared blood, the flowers before us and within us all. Let us be one interconnected family. May it be so.

For Passover, I thought I'd upload the images of my siddur cover. It is brass and when I bought it off eBay, it had a mark around it; someone must have stored it for a long time with a rubber band around it! I had to use a Dremel-like tool with tooth paste to remove the residue and polish the metal. Chag Pesach Sameach!

I'm stressed out for the Jewish girls who had to live at the factory until they got engaged and couldn't keep shabbat. Fucking capitalism.
