The ''siddur'' and ''maḥzor'' are the two principal types of Jewish prayer books. In particular: * Siddur, from a Hebrew root meaning "order," refers to the prayer book generally used through the course of the year. The "complete" ''siddur'' will contain prayers for weekdays and Shabbat, for lifecycle events like weddings and circumcisions, and for most major and minor Jewish holidays. Less than "complete" editions, such as weekday-only or Shabbat-only ''siddurim,'' can also be found readily. * Machzor (also ''maḥzor'' or ''mahzor''), from a Hebrew root meaning "cycle", refers to prayer books containing the prayers for the major holidays of the year. :This term is most often encountered as referring to prayer books for the High Holy Days, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The unique prayers of these days are so extensive that they are almost never found in standard ''siddurim.'' :There are also ''maḥzorim'' for the Three Pilgrimage Festivals, Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot, although prayers for those days can also be found in the standard ''siddur.'' Other books exist for specialized Jewish prayer purposes: * '' Tanakh,'' the bible ("ta"=torah), prophets("na"= nevi'im" ,and writings ( kh= ketuvim). * '' Tehillim,'' psalms -attributed to King David, people say chapters or perakim, for any occasion, during prayer or trouble. * ''Selichot,'' containing the penitential prayers said on fast days and during the period around the High Holy Days. * ''Kinot,'' containing the prayers of mourning recited on the fast of Tisha B'av. * ''Birchon,'' widely known by its Yiddish name ''"bentscher",'' a small book appropriate for use at the table containing the Birkat HaMazon, Grace after Meals, and frequently other prayers and songs recited at a Shabbat or holiday table such as Kiddush and ''Zemirot.'' * Haggadah, the service read at the Passover seder. == References == * Lindsay Jones, ed.
