Translations of Jewish Prayers
Throughout my career, I have tried to create meaningful communal prayer. Many or most of the members of both Hillel (where I served from 1985-2004) and Congregation Bnai Brith see themselves as “not religious” and regular prayer is foreign to them. But I believe that praying together is one of the most powerful experiences a community can share. So I have worked hard to create translations of the traditional prayers into English that will be accessible, appealing and inspiring for a wide range of Jews. Below is the complete siddur (prayerbook) which we now use at CBB, and below that are a number of individual prayer translations.
