Siddur Kol Haneshama
Next to the Bible and the Talmud, the Jewish Siddur or prayer book is one of the most important foundations forming the basis of Jewish tradition. It constitutes both a literary, cultural and religious legacy used for worship and Sabbath celebration.
The siddur was created through a collaborative effort by congregation members under the supervision of Eva Ekselius before a rabbi was in place and was first released in 2018.
Siddur Kol Haneshama, is a modern siddur, with consistently parallel texts in Swedish, Hebrew and transliteration together with introductory factual texts about Jewish tradition, customs, rites, text interpretations and liturgy. This siddur also contains a section describing the Jewish year with its different holidays, as well as the passages of the Jewish life cycle, and can therefore serve as an introduction to Jewish life even for the uninitiated.
In addition to the regular services, Siddur Kol Haneshama has a special section for the Sabbath at home, with about thirty Sabbath songs and about twenty of the most common songs for the larger holidays.
