We’re dedicating new Siddurim on the first day of Shavuot. In honor of this wonderful occasion, we’re using the counting of the Omer to learn about the siddur.
Enjoy today’s siddur related question and answer, which was provided by The Internet.
What’s the oldest prayer in the siddur?
“”Undoubtedly the oldest fixed daily prayer in Judaism is the Shema. This consists of Deut. 6:4-9, Deut. 11:13-21, and Num. 15:37-41. Note that the first paragraph commands us to speak of these matters “when you retire and when you arise.” From ancient times, this commandment was fulfilled by reciting the Shema twice a day: morning and night.””
