  1. Running a little behind on #ShavuotLive commentary (I did sleep a little --- but left the zoom running in my sleep in the hopes I would get some #Torah inspiration by osmosis).

    For hour #11 we heard from Martín Di Maggio (from the The Spinoza Havurah and Humanistic Judaism UK) who spoke about "An Unbound Siddur: How a Person-Centred Non-Theistic Siddur Is Coming Together"

    I was obviously biased (I work often with Martin and am a big fan of his liturgy), but session in particular was a delight, especially see fellow participants in the session get to experience, for the first time, hearing non-theistic liturgy that fits the rhythmic structure of the traditional liturgy (making it possible to use traditional nusach and other tunes).

  2. I've been using the same, small hardcover edition of Siddur Sim Shalom for decades. The pages are soft from turning. I love how there's a wine stain in one place, or handwritten notes on cantillation in another, and how the book opens naturally to the first pages of minḥa or ma'ariv.

    But over the years some pages have gotten a bit loose, and I'm starting to fear the binding will self-destruct. So I just got myself the paperback version of the same #siddur, and I'm all excited about that because I am a giant nerd. 🤓

    Unfortunately, the print in the paperback version seems a bit smaller to me, at a time in my life when what I kinda need the opposite. The next one I buy will probably be one of those editions that has super-large type and I'll need a stand to hold it.

  3. Neat #halacha question: can #Jewish Mastodon help?

    There's debate, I know, on whether it's kosher to pray from a #siddur #app. For those who say yes (w/distractions turned off), what is the status of the phone while doing so? Is it #kodesh (holy), like an actual siddur is, meaning if you touch something that isn't you have to wash your hands before proceeding? Or is it just a phone, and only the app has special status? Got #sources? Answers here good, there even better!

  13. Have you davened from Mishkan Tefila? This is the newest #siddur from #ReformJudaism

    In your view, wow does it compare to the classic Reform prayerbook, Gates of Prayer? To the Conservative movement's Siddur Sim Shalom, or the #ModernOrthodox Koren Sacks Siddur?

  15. Some recommended siddurim -
    The siddur is the traditional Jewish prayerbook. It contains the inherited prayers and hopes of the Jewish people from Biblical times, to the times of the Temple in Jerusalem, to the modern day
