When I was growing up, I did what my parents did, as most children do...well most of the time, and went to a reform-conservative temple. As I grew a bit older, branching out on my own in my young adulthood, I grew a little more conservative and had so many questions; why reform, why conservative, why orthodox, what is the reconstruction movement and so much more! Confusing. I have many different siddurs from very reform to ultra orthodox, and all are different in nature and verbiage, but hold one thing parallel; They all have the same basic foundation of honoring G-d.
Isn't that what being a Jewish person is about; the acceptance of G-d, and following the commandments and mitzvahs?
Each Siddur may be different in color, in binding, in language, in the "word" used for "G-D", but after really reading, all the same. Sort of like people.
