Ritualwell is a website that allows users to find, create and share . It was initially launched in 2001〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.archive.org/web/20010419111656 */http://www.ritualwell.org/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ritualwell.org/timeline )〕 and was nominated for a Webby Award in the Religion & Spirituality category in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://winners.webbyawards.com/2003/web/general-website/religion-spirituality )〕 The site was redesigned and relaunched in 2005. It seeks to "increase the number of rituals available for holidays, Shabbat and traditional lifecycle events.〔 ==Approach== Ritualwell aims to "promote a democratic Judaism where everyone is welcome to submit content and join the conversation." Earlier prayer and ritual were committed to paper and published in books. Ritualwell seeks to leverage the fluid, changing and democratic nature of the internet. While its roots are in the feminist movement, Ritualwell attempts to be broadly inclusive while also seeking to make contemporary feminist Jewish liturgy and rituals widely available. The name Ritualwell references a Jewish story of endless water available in the desert. The ''midrash'' of Miriam's well "is a rabbinic legend that tells of a miraculous well that accompanied the Israelites during their 40 years in the desert at the Exodus from Egypt".〔 Though Miriam is closely associated with Jewish feminism, Ritualwell tries to "expand the use of ritual in daily life, to sanctify all life changes for men, women and children."〔 The story of Miram's well is linked to a late 20th century feminist addition to the traditional seder plate; some seders (including the original Women's Seder, but not limited to women-only seders) now set out a cup for the prophet Miriam as well as the traditional cup for the prophet Elijah, sometimes accompanied by a ritual to honor Miriam.〔(Miriam's Cup: Miriam's Cup rituals for the family Passover seder ).

Retrieved on 18 October 2011.〕 Miriam's cup originated in the 1980s in a Boston Rosh Chodesh group; it was invented by Stephanie Loo, who filled it with mayim hayim (living waters) and used it in a feminist ceremony of guided meditation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ritualwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
