The siddur is not a hymnal; it is a symphony. It has been carefully composed to guide the soul through the unfolding drama of redemption. Far from being a random collection of prayers, the traditional Jewish prayer book is deliberately structured to echo the story of Israel’s salvation and to awaken our longing for its fulfillment. This lecture explores how the rhythms and themes of the siddur prepare us to recognize, desire, and live in the light of redemption.
