Siddur for Shabbat & Festivals
Beginning in September 2025 we began working our way through the Siddur for Shabbat and Festivals at Congregation Rodef Shalom of Denver.
If you’d like to do the same, we encourage you to move sequentially through these posts, using the discussion topics to assist you. Each page is print-friendly and we would love if you submitted your Commentary or alternative Translations using the forms on each page!
If you’d like to support our efforts, please make a donation to the Adult Education fund at Rodef Shalom.
In 2026, we received support for this group from the Hadar Institute through their Hadar Community Groups initiative. Visit their site to make a donation to support the growth of new groups or apply for funding their to support your own parallel effort.
