UTOM Siddur 2013
Persons Siddur
For use in the Daily Morning, Evening, Shabbat and Rosh
Hodesh service for the use of the persons or congregations of
UTOM. Blessings are included for daily use.
This Siddur was created with Liturgy in the form of both Karaite and Rabbinic prayers in the spirit of unity in
Judaism.

. : , - - -
Thou shalt not take vengeance, or bear a grudge against your countrymen. Love your fellow as thyself: I
am YHWH. (Leviticus 19:18)
The above passage is not only a commandment but a guide as to how we shall treat others. It is in this
love that this Siddur was created. A major step in the process of having unity between the groups is to
meet on common grounds. This Siddur is an extension of the love and understanding between groups
and has been created with respect for the practice of both Karaite and Rabbinic Judaism. We
understand that there will be people who do not agree with our mission and this is okay as we respect
their opinion yet we will remain steadfast in the unity of Judaism.
The UTOM organization is comprised of persons from various denominations including Orthodox,
Conservative and Karaite Judaism. We are dedicated to the preservation of Judaism and its traditions
be they Rabbinic decrees (Talmudim), Karaite Sevel HaYerushah (Yoke of Inheritance) or through
peshat (plain meaning). We seek truth and our practice involves the search for truth.
To ensure a more complete Siddur we have included not only the basic prayers daily and weekly
prayers but also the Torah Service and Berakhot (blessings). We appreciate those who made this Siddur
possible and the time spent in the selecting of liturgy and the process of editing. With this I introduce
the UTOM Siddur with the following passage:
. , : ,
Hear, O Israel: YHWH is our God, YHWH is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4)
WARNING: This Siddur contains the name of YHWH ( )and as per Jewish tradition
this Siddur should be sent to a Genizah or handled properly. Do not burn, shred or
handle this Siddur in an inappropriate manner. If you are unsure of the proper
handling of this document after use, please contact us or your local Rabbi/Hakham.

Introduction
This Siddur was prepared in the spirit of building bridges in Judaism with elements of both the Karaite
and Rabbinic prayer service. The daily service has additions for Shabbat and the New Moon to help
standardize the liturgy.
There are service identifiers to denote elements that are specific to Rabbinic or Karaite prayer. These
identifiers allow the congregant or congregation the opportunity to decide their preferred service. We
have included the counting of the Omer, Torah Service and Haftarah services. There is a concluding
section with blessings.
We would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to assist us in the creation
of this Siddur as well as some very positive feedback. As UTOM, as an organization continues to
prosper in our mission we welcome the opinion of our member congregations and any individual who
is willing to provide suggestions for future literary projects.
With the above short introduction, we entreat you to enjoy the Torah Observant Persons Siddur.
Baruch Adonai.
Sitting
Hands High
Laying Tefillin
This is the blessing for placing Tefillin upon your head and arm as interpreted in the Torah
(Deuteronomy 6:8, and 11:18), so the requirement is one of the few that are repeated twice in
the Torah. So, it is a double blessing to perform this Mitzvah. Please note: Rabbinic
Tradition teaches that once you do the blessing you are not allowed to speak until both the
Head and Arm Tefillin are bound to you. If you do speak, you are required to do the blessing
again upon place the second Tefillin (most likely the Head Tefillin, since it goes on second).
For proper placement of the Tefillin see Appendix.
Karaites do not don Tefillin as Karaites do not interpret the Deuteronomy passages as
commanding the use of Tefillin but for us to remember the commandments and to keep them
in all that you do.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King
Baruch ata Adonay, Eloheiny
of the universe, who has sanctified Melech HaOlam Asher
, ,
us with His commandments, and
Kideshanu Bemitzvotov
commanded us to put on Tefillin.

(Psalms 33:22)
Blessed is the Lord forever. Amen,
and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)
On Saturday night:
The Lord founded the earth by
wisdom; He established the
heavens by understanding.
(Proverbs 3:19) When God began to
create heaven and earth the
earth being unformed and void,
with darkness over the surface of
the deep and a wind from God
sweeping over the water God
said, Let there be light; and there
was light. God saw that the light
was good, and God separated the
light from the darkness. God called
the light Day, and the darkness He
called Night. And there was evening
and there was morning, a first day.
(Genesis 1:1-5)
On Sunday night:
God said, Let there be an expanse
in the midst of the water, that it
may separate water from water.
God made the epanse, and it
separated the water which was
below the expanse from the water
which was above the expanse. And
it was so. God called the expanse
Sky. And there was evening and
there was morning, a second day.
(Genesis 1:6-8)
On Monday night:
And God said, Let the water below
the sky be gathered into one area,
that the dry land may appear. And
it was so. God called the dry land
Earth, and the gathering of waters
He called Seas. And God saw that
this was good. And God said, Let

On Tuesday night:
And God said, Let there be lights in
the expanse of the sky to separate
day from night; they shall serve as
signs for the set times the days
and the years; and they shall serve
as lights in the expanse of the sky
to shine upon the earth. And it
was so. God made the two great
lights, the greater light to dominate
the day and the lesser light to
dominate the night, and the stars.
And God set them in the expanse of
the sky to shine upon the earth, to
dominate the day and the night,
and to separate light from
darkness. And God saw that this
was good. And there was evening
and there was morning, a fourth
day. (Genesis 1:14-19)

On Wednesday night:
God said, Let the waters bring
forth swarms of living creatures,
and birds that fly above the earth
across the epanse of the sky. God
created the great sea monsters,
and all the living creatures of every
kind that creep, which the waters
brought forth in swarms, and all the
winged birds of evey kind. And God

On Thursday night:
God said, Let the earth bring forth
every kind of living creature: cattle,
creeping things, and wild beasts of
every kind. And it was so. God
made wild beasts of every kind and
cattle of every kind, and all kinds of
creeping things of the earth. And
God saw that this was good. And
God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness. They shall
rule the fish of the sea, the birds of
the sky, the cattle, the whole earth,
and all the creeping things that
creep on earth. And God created
man in His image, in the image of
God He created him; male and
female He created them, Be fertile
and increase, fill the earth and
master it; and rule the fish of the
sea, the birds of the sky, and all the
living things that creep on earth.
God said, See I give you every
seed-bearing plant that is upon all
the earth, and every tree that has
seed-bearing fruit; they shall be
yours for food. And to all the
animals on land, to all the birds of
the sky and to everything that
creeps on earth, in which there is
the breath of life, all the green
plants for food. And it was so. And
God saw all that He had made, and
found it very good. And there was
evening and there was morning,
the sixth day. (Genesis 1:24-31)

On Shabbat say:
The heaven and the earth were
finished, and all their array. On the
seventh day God finished the work
that He had been doing, and He
ceased on the seventh day from all
the work that He had done. Ad God
blessed the seventh day and
declared it holy, because on it God
ceased from all the work of
creation that He had done.
(Genesis 2:1-3) The Israelite people
shall keep the Sabbath, observing
the Sabbath throughout the ages as
a covenant for all time: it shall be a
sign for all time between Me and
the people of Israel. For in six days
the Lord made heaven and earth,
and on the seventh day He ceased
from work and was refreshed.
(Exodus 31:16-17) Moses then
convoked the whole Israelite
community and said to them: These
are the things that the Lord has
commanded you to do: On six days
work may be done, but on the
seventh day you shall have a
Sabbath of complete rest, holy to
the Lord; whoever does any work
on it shall be put to death. You shall
kindle no fire throughout your
settlements on the Sabbath day.
(Exodus 35:1-3) You shall keep My
Sabbaths and venerate My
sanctuary: I am the Lord (Leviticus
19:30) You shall each revere his
mother and his father, and keep My
Sabbaths: I the Lord am your God.
(Leviticus 19:3)

Shema Israel is the most important section of the prayer service in Judaism. It affirms the
oneness of YHWH and contains many of the commandments.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu,
,: ,
the Lord alone. (Deuteronomy 6:4) Adonai Echad
Blessed be the Name of His glorious
kingdom for ever and ever.
One is our God, great is our Lord;
holy and mighty is His name forever
more. (K.S.)
You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your might. Take
to heart these instructions with
which I charge you this day,
Impress them upon your children.
Recite them when you stay at
home and when you are away and
when you lie down and when you
get up. Bind them as a sign on your
hand and let them serve as a
symbol on your forehead; Inscribe
them on the doorposts of your
house and on your gates.
(Deuteronomy 6:5-9)

The four tzitziyot are held between the hands (the cords spanning from one hand
to the other) arms fully stretched out look at them when saying the following
The Lord said to Moses as follows:
Speak to the Israelite people and
instruct them to make for
themselves fringes on the corners
of their garments throughout the
ages; let them attach a cord of blue
to the fringe at each corner. That
shall be your fringe; look at it and
recall all the commandments of the
Lord and observe them, so that you
do not follow your heart and eyes
in your lustful urge. Thus you shall
be reminded to observe all My
commandments and to be holy to
your God. I the Lord and your God,
who brought you out of the land of
Egypt to be your God: I, the Lord
your God.(Numbers 15:37-41)

On Shabbat Say
And the Lord said to Moses: speak
to the Israelite people and say:
nevertheless, you must keep my
Sabbaths, for this is a sign between
Me and you throughout the ages,
that you may know that I the Lord
have consecrated you. You shall
keep my Sabbath, for it is holy for
you. He who profanes it shall be
put to death: whoever does work

On Shabbat Say
A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath
day. It is good to praise the Lord, to
sing hymns to Your name, O Most
High, To proclaim Your steadfast
love at daybreak, Your faithfulness
each night with a ten-stringed harp,
with voice and lyre together You
have gladdened me by Your deeds,
O Lord; I shout for joy at Your
handiwork. How great are Your
works, O Lord, how very subtle
Your designs! A brutish man cannot
know, a fool cannot understand
this: though the wicked sprout like
grass, though all evildoers blossom,
it is only that they may be
destroyed forever. But You are
exalted, O Lord for all time. Surely,
Your enemies, O Lord, surely, Your
enemies perish; all evildoers are
scattered. You raise my horn high
like that of a wild ox; I am soaked in
freshening oil. I shall see the defeat
of my watchful foes, hear of the
downfall of the wicked who beset
me. The righteous bloom like a
date-palm; they thrive like a cedar
in Lebanon; planted in the house of
the Lord, they flourish in the courts
of our God. In old age they still
produce fruit; they are full of sap
and freshness, attesting that the
Lord is upright, my rock, in whom
there is no wrong. (Psalms 92:1-16)
Blessed is the Lord forever. Amen,
and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)
Et-shabbetotai tishmoru
umikdashi tira-u ani Adonai. Ish
imo ve-aviv tira-u veetshabbetotai tishmoru ani

Shema Israel is the most important section of the prayer service in Judaism. It affirms the
oneness of YHWH and contains many of the commandments.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, Shema Israel, Adonai Eloheinu,
,: ,
the Lord alone. (Deuteronomy 6:4) Adonai Echad
Blessed be the Name of His glorious
kingdom for ever and ever.
One is our God, great is our Lord;
holy and mighty is His name forever
more. (K.S.)
You shall love the Lord your od with
all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your might. Take to
heart these instructions with which
I charge you this day, Impress them
upon your children. Recite them
when you stay at home and when
you are away and when you lie
down and when you get up. Bind
them as a sign on your hand and let
them serve as a symbol on your
forehead; Inscribe them on the
doorposts of your house and on
your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9)

After reciting the blessing, throw the tallit over your shoulders like a cape and bring your hands together in front
of your face briefly, covering your head. Then adjust the tallit comfortably on your shoulders. The tallit should be
draped over the shoulders like a shawl or a cape, not around the neck like a scarf.

through His commandments, and commanded us concerning the
Mitzvah of tefillin.

5. Now recite: (the Statement)
Blessed is his name, whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever
From Your Wisdom you, O supreme God, may you imbue me; From your
understanding give me understanding; with your kindness do greatly with
me; with your power cut down my foes and rebels. May you pour goodly oil
upon the seven arms of the menorah, to cause your good to flow to your
creatures. May you open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living
thing.
Step #3
Now resume wrapping the strap of the shel yad. Unwind the strap from your palm, and as the strap comes from
the wrist,
Bring it around.
Then twice around the lower part of the middle finger, while saying the below:
Keep going around till just about completing the rest of the strap.
The final 2,3 inches, tie it around the middle straps to keep it firm.
