Gates of Prayer
''Gates of Prayer, the New Union Prayer Book'' (''GOP'') is a Reform Jewish siddur that was announced in October 1975 as a replacement for the 80-year-old ''Union Prayer Book'' (''UPB''), incorporating more Hebrew content and was updated to be more accessible to modern worshipers. The prayer book was officially approved by the Joint Commission on Worship of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (now the Union for Reform Judaism) and the Central Conference of American Rabbis.〔Spiegel, Irving. ("RABBIS ANNOUNCE NEW PRAYER BOOK; Translations Modernized in Reform Group's First Revision in 80 Years" ), ''The New York Times'', October 11, 1975. Accessed March 5, 2009.〕
==Many changes==
There were many changes in wording aimed at gender neutrality, such as changing "our fathers" to "our ancestors". The "thee"s and "thou"s of the ''UPB'' were all changed to "you". A wide variety of prayer options are offered, including ten for Friday night services, six for Shabbat morning and others for holidays, weekdays and other special occasions. Additional readings were included from philosophers Martin Buber and Alfred North Whitehead; poets E. E. Cummings, John Masefield and Nelly Sachs; Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and from Elie Wiesel.〔
In its 779 pages, ''Gates of Prayer'' added services to commemorate Israeli Independence Day and The Holocaust, reflecting the changed realities from the days of the ''Union Prayer Book''. An optional Hebrew opening format was offered for the first time and Friday night service variations were included, all reflecting a greater acceptance of traditional forms of Jewish worship that had been eliminated in the ''UPB''. The ''GOP'' sold 50,000 copies in its inaugural year and had sales of some 1.5 million as of 2006.〔Stevens, Elliot L.
