CCAR Press is proud to present . . . Mishkan T’filah, the first new Siddur for the North American
Reform Movement in more than thirty years. Including services for Shabbat,
weekdays and festivals, as well as other occasions of public worship,
and texts for more than a hundred songs, Mishkan T’filah
reflects the full diversity of our Movement. This new Siddur includes:
Broad selection
of readings including beloved passages from our Reform liturgical tradition
and great poetic writings from throughout Jewish history
Faithful, elegant
translations
Contemporary,
gender-inclusive English
Theological and
stylistic diversity
Extensive commentaries,
source notes and usage guides
More than 100
contemporary and traditional song texts
Choice of transliterated
and non-transliterated editions
Innovative design
in two-page spreads (additional Shabbat services
in linear style also included)
To assist congregations in making the transition to Mishkan T’filah, the Joint Commission on Worship, Music and Religious Living has created a website, www.urj.org/mishkan, which offers resources in understanding and leading worship with Mishkan T’filah. Topics include:
Mishkan T’filah’s structure, page layout, transliteration, and citations.
Guidelines to determine whether and when purchasing Mishkan T’filah is right for your congregation.
Working with model service outlines, addressing “stage direction” issues and more.
