Another hat to throw into the ring: Liturgical books<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2015026039__;!!KGKeukY!2RdO6PcD5neaRZ5o40MnYFPSc37HAwG5mnRBS4OmG5cAqlyHEy9ZVzBEbib0HzuaDlvQXSO-EDKATMcOn8mGFoHo$ >
I am not sure if that helps in this situation, but wanted to bring to your attention in case it does! I used it recently when cataloging a rare book, OCLC 1167626413 (here's the record in Stanford's catalog<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/in00000298622__;!!KGKeukY!2RdO6PcD5neaRZ5o40MnYFPSc37HAwG5mnRBS4OmG5cAqlyHEy9ZVzBEbib0HzuaDlvQXSO-EDKATMcOn2p_EahK$ > with additional information/context that only makes it to the local record). I suppose all of these run the risk of having a Christian bend, but the genre term for Haggadot<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2019026013.html__;!!KGKeukY!2RdO6PcD5neaRZ5o40MnYFPSc37HAwG5mnRBS4OmG5cAqlyHEy9ZVzBEbib0HzuaDlvQXSO-EDKATMcOn2jWSxnA$ > stems from Liturgical books, so I think it can be applied to Judaic prayer materials as well.

Without knowing the resource in-hand, you definitely can use 2 (or more) LCGFT headings. “Devotional literature” is heading that can be applied to many books, and one I use for resources that are limud yomi in nature. However, the only draw back to Devotional literature is that the 670s have a Christian bent to it. I hope this helps.

There are no general scope notes under "Prayers." The general notes under "Devotional literature" is: * Religious materials that are intended to be used as aids for private study, prayer, and reflection. * Should we just be adding both? Thanks.
