Who We Are
What CustomSiddur Does
CustomSiddur offers design, layout, and printing of customized prayerbooks for rabbis, cantors, congregations and families who want something unique for a milestone occasion. Most popular are Bar and Bat Mitzvah services and wedding benchers.
CustomSiddur is dedicated to helping families highlight the worship service -- the most important part of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah day. Working closely with each family, CustomSiddur combines prayers, artwork, poetry, and the weekly Torah and Haftarah portions to create a beautiful custom prayerbook that everyone can take home as a meaningful memento.
By providing professional help with the liturgy, page layout, reproduction and binding, CustomSiddur lets the Bar Mitzvah family focus on the special content. Each project starts with the large CustomSiddur library of Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Shabbat and weekday services and the Tanach (Hebrew Bible).
CustomSiddur makes completely customized benchers for weddings and b'nai mitzvah. Since every book is designed especially for that occasion, the family can choose from the CustomSiddur library of songs, z'mirot and prayers, and include all their favorites.
CustomSiddur also allows families to design a personalized Haggadah for Passover. Inserting family photos and mementos into the familiar text gives special meaning to the key phrase “B'chol Dor Vador” - in every generation.
For Jewish schools, CustomSiddur offers professional layout and careful editing, so your educators can design the perfect textbook for your students. Customized Haggadot make a great fundraiser, filled with images and commentaries from your own students and teachers.
Congregations can enhance all kinds of celebrations with beautiful prayerbooks: rabbi and cantor installation services, synagogue milestone anniversaries, sisterhood and brotherhood events.
The company is located near Cleveland, Ohio. Most projects are done remotely, with drafts and samples passed back and forth via email.
How CustomSiddur started
Vivian Singer formed CustomSiddur, originally SingerSiddur, in 2003 in an effort to get people involved in the exciting process of creating prayerbooks.
This venture is also a result of Ms. Singer’s passion for quality control in the design of creative worship and for the ethics of copyrights. Although Hebrew texts are generally in the public domain, the English translations all belong to someone, and she feels strongly that religious organizations should uphold the highest standards.
What Our Customers Say
The siddurs arrived yesterday and are fabulous! The art work came out beautifully and looks great. The girls were very pleased! The contents look terrific. I could not be happier with the finished product. Thank you. Everyone's hard work really paid off as I couldn't envision a nicer prayer book for our ceremony. I know my dad is particularly pleased and will be elated when he sees the fruits of his labor of love. Thanks again for everything!
