The Siddur is a prayer book that compiles the prayers and blessings recited by Jews throughout the week, on Shabbat, and during holidays. It is considered the book of life in Judaism, accompanying an individual from birth to death. The earliest known Siddur was written by Rav Natronai Gaon, followed by others such as Rav Amram Gaon's Siddur and Rav Saadia Gaon's Siddur. Over the years, different communities developed distinct prayer traditions, leading to unified versions such as the Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Yemenite Nusach (prayer rite).
