Siddur Print E-mail
Written by Tuvya Zaretsky   
A Siddur is a prayer book.

The Siddur is the Jewish prayer book. Many prayers of our Siddur are as old as Solomon's Temple.

The Psalms were the "prayer book" of Israel in the days of the kings and the prophets. The Sh'ma was taught to Israel by Moses himself. However, it was only after the Exile that the prayer service as we know it began to take shape.

I would say after 28 years of a "cross cultural" marriage there simply is no spiritual harmony. It has for me, been like being in a marriage by myself. With loving respect I would counsel anyone contemplating this sort of union to consider strongly 2 Corinthians 6:14.
