written Hebrew text.

Siddur Sim Shalom Remix 2.0
Siddur Sim Shalom Remix was developed for students
in grades 5-7. SSSR 2.0 helps students develop deep connections to prayer
through the exploration of concepts and ideas found in the text. The students
create a “prayer scrapbook” that blends personal prayer with the structured
prayers in the text. SSSR 2.0 is structured around the Sim
Shalom Siddur that is used in most Conservative synagogues in the United States
and is currently used in more than 20 congregations throughout the country
and 2 Ramah camps.
