Meldar Siddur — the builder
מ
Meldar Siddur Its own app Composing, setting and printing a siddur is a different job from learning in one — different user, different session, often a different machine. Same three engines as the platform, no second copy of any of them. ← Back to Meldar
Siddur builder

{{ sidTitle }}

Build a siddur out of real blocks, set the page, write your own notes over it, and print or hand it to a typesetter. Text comes from Sefaria — nothing here is typed by hand, and nothing missing is invented.

The last page is over-full — add a page break, or reduce the type size.

Dragging snaps to the page centre, the text frame and the edges of anything else on the leaf. Hold Alt to place it freely — 2pt off the frame can be a decision.

Transliteration

{{ sidRomanNote }}

⚠️ Machine transliteration. It is produced by rule and has not been read by a native speaker, so it is a guide to pronunciation and not an authority on it. Every page and every export says so.

Commentary notes

Short notes on the parts a siddur is judged by — why the ‘ayin and dalet of the Shema are enlarged, why Arvit has no repetition. Each carries its source. They are editorial drafts and have not been passed by a posek, and the colophon says that too.

Print

{{ sidTrimLabel }}

Opens a print sheet in a new tab and calls your browser's Save-as-PDF. The page box is the trim you chose, the margins are mirrored so the inner edge clears the binding, prayers never split across a spread, and the cover prints full-bleed as page one.

Export

Every format carries the same document, the same credits, and the same warnings about borrowed rites and machine transliteration.
