The Union Prayer Book
The Union Prayer Book: Sinai Edition, Revised is a contemporary language, gender-neutral liturgy for Reform congregations wishing to maintain the historic worship traditions of our Movement. Preserving the texts and liturgy of the 1940 Union Prayer Book, the Sinai edition embraces the recent developments in Jewish liturgical responses to contemporary realities, a heightened awareness of inclusive language, and a recognition of the spiritual challenges of the transforming events of Jewish history in this generation.
