A siddur ( sīddūr, ; plural siddurim סִדּוּרִים ) is a containing a set order of daily prayers. The word comes from the Hebrew root , meaning 'order.'

Other terms for prayer books are tefillot (תְּפִלּוֹת‎) among , tefillah among German Jews, and tiklāl (תכלאל) among .

History
The earliest parts of books are the ("Hear O Israel") ( 6:4 et seq) and the Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:24-26), which are in the . A set of eighteen (currently nineteen) blessings called the Shemoneh Esreh or the (, "standing prayer"), is traditionally ascribed to the in the time of , at the end of the biblical period.Berakhot 33a.

The name Shemoneh Esreh, literally "eighteen", is a historical anachronism, since it now contains nineteen blessings. It was only near the end of the Second Temple period that the eighteen prayers of the weekday Amidah became standardized. Even at that time their precise wording and order was not yet fixed, and varied from locale to locale. Many modern scholars believe that parts of the Amidah came from the work Ben Sira.

According to the , soon after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem a formal version of the Amidah was adopted at a rabbinical council in Yavne, under the leadership of and his colleagues. However, the precise wording was still left open. The order, general ideas, opening and closing lines were fixed. Most of the wording was left to the individual reader. It was not until several centuries later that the prayers began to be formally fixed. By the the texts of the prayers were nearly fixed, and in the form in which they are still used today, albeït with significant variations across communities.

The Siddur was printed by Soncino in Italy as early as 1486, though a Siddur was first mass-distributed only in 1865. The Siddur began appearing in the as early as 1538. The first English was published in London in 1738 by an author writing under the Gamaliel ben Pedahzur; a different translation was released in the United States in 1837.

Creation
Readings from the (five books of Moses) and the Nevi'im ("Prophets") form part of the prayer services. To this framework various Jewish sages added, from time to time, various prayers, and, for festivals especially, numerous hymns.

The earliest existing codification of the prayerbook was drawn up by Amram ben Sheshna of in , the Abbasid Caliphate, an area known as "Babylonia" in Jewish texts, about 850 CE ( Seder Rav ʿAmram). Half a century later, , also of Sura, composed a siddur (see Siddur of Saadia Gaon), in which the rubrical matter is in . These were the basis of Simhah ben Samuel of Vitry's 11th century Machzor Vitry, which was based on the ideas of his teacher, . Another formulation of the prayers was that appended by to the Book of Love in his : this forms the basis of the Yemenite liturgy, and has had some influence on other rites. From this point forward all Jewish prayerbooks had the same basic order and contents.

Two authoritative versions of the Ashkenazi siddur were those of Shabbetai Sofer in the 16th century and Seligman Baer in the 19th century; siddurim have also been published reflecting the views of and the .

Different Jewish rites
There are differences among, amongst others, the Sephardic (including Spanish and Portuguese and ), (Yemenite), , (divided into German, Polish and other European and eastern-European rites), Bené Roma or Italkim, (Greek, once extending to Turkey, Crimea and the southern Italian peninsula) and also , Kurdish, , Georgian, , and liturgies. Most of these are slight differences in the wording of the prayers; for instance, Oriental Sephardic and some Hasidic prayer books state "חננו מאתך חכמה בינה ודעת", "Graciously bestow upon us from You wisdom ( ), understanding ( binah) and knowledge ( )", in allusion to the of those names, while the Nusach Ashkenaz, as well as Western Sephardic and other Hasidic versions retain the older wording "חננו מאתך דעה בינה והשכל", "Graciously bestow upon us from You knowledge, understanding, and reason". In some cases, however, the order of the preparation for the Amidah is drastically different, reflecting the different halakhic and kabbalistic formulae that the various scholars relied on in assembling their prayer books, as well as the , or customs, or their locales.

Some forms of the Sephardic rite are considered to be very overtly , depending on how far they reflect the ritual of (see Lurianic Kabbalah). This is partly because the frequently appears with varying vowel points beneath the letters (unpronounced, but to be meditated upon) and different Names of God appear in small print within the final hei (ה) of the Tetragrammaton. In some editions, there is a Psalm in the preparations for the that is printed in the outline of a menorah, and the worshipper meditates on this shape as he recites the psalm.

While the Ashkenazic rite does contain some kabbalistic elements, such as acrostics and allusions to the sefirot ("To You, God, is the greatness gedullah, and the might gevurah, and the glory tiferet, longevity netzach,..." etc.), these are not easily seen unless the reader is already initiated. It is notable that although many other traditions avoid using the poem on the Sabbath, for fear that its holiness would be less appreciated due to the frequency of the Sabbath, the poem is usually sung by Ashkenazi congregations before concluding the Sabbath service with the daily psalm. The ark is opened for the duration of the song.

Hasidim, though usually ethnically Ashkenazi, usually use liturgies with varying degrees of Sephardic influence, such as and , in order to follow the order of the prayers set by Rabbi Isaac Luria, often called "Ari HaKadosh", or "The Holy Lion". Although the Ari himself was born Ashkenazi, he borrowed many elements from Sephardi and other traditions, since he felt that they followed Kabbalah and more faithfully. The Ari did not publish any siddur, but orally transmitted his particular usages to his students with interpretations and certain meditations.Nusach HaAri Siddur, published by Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch. Many siddurim containing some form of the Sephardic rite together with the usages of the Ari were published, both by actual Sephardic communities and for the use of Hasidim and other Ashkenazim interested in Kabbalah. In 1803, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi compiled an authoritative siddur from the sixty siddurim that he checked for compliance with Hebrew grammar, Jewish law, and Kabbalah: some call this siddur "Nusach Ari", and is used by . Those that use Nusach HaAri claim that it is an all-encompassing nusach that is valid for any Jew, no matter what his ancestral tribe or identity, Introduction to . a view attributed to the Maggid of Mezeritch.

The of each rite is distinguished by hymns ( ). The most important writers are Jose ben Jose, probably in the 4th-5th century CE, chiefly known for his compositions for and ; Yannai; , the founder of the payyetanic style, perhaps in the 7th century; ; the Spanish school, consisting of Joseph ibn Abitur (died in 970), , , Moses ibn Ezra, Abraham ibn Ezra and , Moses ben Nahman () and ; and the Ashkenazic and French schools including Shimon bar Yitzchak, Meir bar Yitzchak and many others.

The recited only early piyyutim, such as those by , but did not like the Sephardic piyyutim.Magen Avraham OC 68, in the introduction to the simal. Therefore, on holidays he would daven (recite the prescribed liturgical prayers) with Ashkenazim—as opposed to his practice the rest of the year to daven with Sephardim—in order to recite their piyyutim, which include many more earlier piyyutim. For this reason, many Hasidim (such Belz and Viznitz) recite many piyyutim on Yom Tov and the sabbaths of the four special portions preceding in accordance with the practice of the Ari. However, in Sephardic communities which accepted most of the practices of the Ari, they never accepted the Ashkenazic piyyutim.

Complete and weekday siddurim
Some siddurim have only prayers for weekdays; others have prayers for weekdays and . Many have prayers for weekdays, Shabbat, and the three Biblical festivals, (the feast of Tabernacles), (the feast of weeks) and (Passover). The latter are referred to as a Siddur Shalem ("complete siddur").

Variations and additions on holidays
  • There are many additional liturgical variations and additions to the siddur for the Yamim Noraim (The "Days of Awe"; High Holy Days, i.e. Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur). As such, a special siddur has developed for just this period, known as a (also: machzor). The mahzor contains not only the basic liturgy, but also many piyyutim, Hebrew liturgical poems. Sometimes the term mahzor is also used for the prayer books for the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot.
  • On Tisha b'Av, a special siddur is used that includes the text of the Book of Lamentations, the and readings for that day, and or special mournful piyyutim for that day. This siddur is usually called " Kinot" as well. Traditionally, every year many Jews hope that the will come and the will be rebuilt, so Tisha b'Av will not happen again. So after the fast ends, many traditions place their Kinot siddurim in a , or a burial place for sacred texts.

Following in the footsteps of feminist prayerbooks, liberal prayerbooks tend increasingly to avoid male-specific words and pronouns, seeking that all references to God in translations be made in gender-neutral language. For example, the UK Liberal movement's Siddur Lev Chadash (1995) does so, as does the UK Reform Movement's Forms of Prayer (2008). In Mishkan T'filah, the American Reform Jewish prayer book released in 2007, references to God as "He" have been removed, and whenever Jewish patriarchs are named (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), so also are the matriarchs (Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah).

  • Liturgical Experiments: A Siddur for the Sceptical in Hebrew, by Tzemah Yoreh (2010?)
Yoreh writes about his work: "I think prayer is communal and private expression of hopes, fears, an appreciation of aesthetic beauty, good attributes. But that has nothing to do with God."
