The morning and evening prayers, which are customarily said each day by all Orthodox Christians, conform in the version provided here to the practice of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, and most patterns of Russian Orthodox practice, as laid out in the Jordanville Prayer Book. It is a pious custom to do these prayers at home, to consecrate the beginning and the end of the day as prayerfully as possible.

Strengthen me to keep awake in song, and drive away the sleep of despondency./O Bride of God, by thy prayers release me, bound with the bonds of sin. From the very beginning, Christians gathered for prayer at fixed hours to pray. These prayers centered on the Psalms, and in the desert monasteries they developed into the daily prayers of the Church that we still use today. This siddur also includes many Conservative liturgical innovations, such as updating the Nahem prayer on the Ninth of Av to refer to a rebuilt city of Jerusalem, or expanding the list of holidays on which one says the Al Ha-nisim prayer of thanks for miracles to include not only Hanukkah and Purim but also Yom Ha’atzmaut. This siddur also includes a Nahem prayer for Holocaust Memorial Day (Yom Ha-sho’ah) and offers a ceremony for the anniversary of Jerusalem’s 1967 reunification ( Yom Yerushalayim).Prayer is a way unique to man, the only way, to communicate and enter in a personal relationship with God, His saints, and the Theotokos. Prayer fills our life with matchless joy. It fills our soul, and the world around us with peace and serenity.

The Reconstructionist movement‘s prayerbooks for weekdays, Shabbat and holidays form a matched set under one title, Kol Haneshamah (“every creature” or “all that breathes,” from the last verse of Psalms). These siddurim showcase the Reconstructionist movement’s innovative approach to liturgy–traditionalist in form, but radical in ideology. Far more is rewritten than in the Conservative siddur, though a full Hebrew text is given for every standard prayer. These siddurim are rather bulky.
