About Make A Prayer

Every prayer on this site

55 prayers whose words are here, each from a named edition checked twice against its source, and 19 more this site describes but cannot print yet. Which is which is marked on every row.

The held prayers appear in every language the corpus has them in: Hebrew facing English for the biblical Jewish texts, Arabic alone for the Qur’anic ones, and Spanish and French where a public-domain edition exists in those languages. The named ones carry a page saying what the prayer is and exactly what stands between it and publication, which is almost always an edition or a rights problem rather than an absence of interest.

Why some prayers are only named

A text reaches a reader here with an edition cited and two independent checks agreeing on the wording, or it does not reach them at all. That rule keeps well-known prayers off the site: the Kaddish is absent because its Aramaic survives in the public domain only as a page image no machine has read reliably, Mi Sheberach because no public-domain edition of it has been found at all, and the Sikh material because the only out-of-copyright English is a translation the community itself rejects. The verification record lists what was held back, and how rights are established explains the test each edition has to pass.
