Amidora · Library
Which edition credits should stay with a copied prayer passage?
Amidora's Sefard text takes Hebrew from Torat Emet 357 for 69 leaves and from the CC-BY Metsudah siddur for 33; keep each credit with the passage you copy.
Why one text has several credits
Each nusach in Amidora has a default Hebrew and a default English edition, and other openly licensed editions fill leaves the default lacks. The Texts and sources screen in settings lists every edition used, with its licence and an attribution line such as Torat Emet 357 — Public Domain, via Sefaria.
In the Sefard text, the Hebrew of 69 leaves comes from Torat Emet 357, public domain, and of 33 leaves from The Metsudah siddur, 1981, under CC-BY. One leaf, Birchat HaMazon, mixes the two: Hebrew segments missing from the default were filled from the Metsudah edition.
In Ashkenaz the split runs the other way: the CC-BY Metsudah Hebrew is the default, and the public domain Daat Siddur Ashkenaz supplies 194 of the 423 leaves.
Saving a traceable excerpt
- Open Texts and sources and find the nusach you are reading.
- Note the Hebrew and English editions credited there and their licences.
- Copy the attribution line exactly, including via Sefaria.
- For CC-BY material, keep the attribution with every copy you share.
- Record the section's reference so the exact leaf can be found again.
Credits per nusach
- Ashkenaz · Hebrew
- Metsudah 1981, CC-BY · 221 leaves; Daat Siddur Ashkenaz, public domain · 194 leaves
- Ashkenaz · English
- Metsudah linear translation, CC-BY · 217 leaves; Sefaria Community Translation, CC0 · 21 leaves
- Sefard · English
- Metsudah linear translation · 57 leaves; Community Translation · 4 leaves
- Edot HaMizrach
- Torat Emet 357 Hebrew · 82 leaves; Community Translation English · 33 leaves
A public domain Hebrew text paired with a CC-BY English translation still needs the English attribution.
Mistakes
- Applying the first credit on the screen to the whole passage.
- Dropping via Sefaria from an attribution line.
- Assuming the English and Hebrew share one licence.
- Treating a credit as a recommendation of one wording.
Scope
Licences are as recorded on Sefaria, whose attribution guidance is listed below. The credits identify sources; they do not decide which text a reader should follow.
