Siddur means 'order' and is the name given to a Jewish
prayer book which records the order of the set prayers of the various services. Jews have
set prayers to say at home and in the synagogue. The basic form of Jewish prayer is the
'blessing' which gives thanks to God on many occasions through the day, beginning with the
words, 'Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe.' Orthodox Jews pray three
set services in Hebrew a day: morning, afternoon and evening. The
Authorised Daily Prayer book contains these services.
