Want to attend Making Mensches shabbos' and use an explicitly anti-zionist siddur? Can't attend in person but want to ensure az Jewish spaces have the ritual items they need? Help us make it happen!
We are looking to start with 20 copies (our services see anywhere from 30-80 people), ideally using the "fair price" or higher tiers to pay for the labor that went into this. This would be $720 + $100 for shipping.
More about the Siddur here and on https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/siddur-tatir-tz-rurah:
"The siddur was designed to fill an important niche in the world of Jewish prayerbooks: at the intersection of antizionism, leftist politics, and egalitarian full liturgy. The past years have shown that:
leftists can be religious Jews
leftist, religious Jews can be deep allies in the fight against Zionism, and
Jewish ritual plays a significant role in fueling Jews involved in the movement to bring down the State of Israel, as well as to a lesser extent being a tactical tool to serve that movement.
We hope that allied Jews will bring this siddur out to pray on the streets; it certainly would have been useful for the two Friday evening services at Shohada‘ (Martyrs’) Square, the pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University. This is one reason why you won’t see any sacred names of God in it, as a precaution against defacement by cops or Zionist aggressors.
But more than a ritual aid, I hope that the siddur will be an educational tool for antizionist Jews to reconnect with the texts of our prayers in a way untainted by Zionist revisionism."
