		But the most important work of Amram, which marks him as one of the most prominent of the geonim before Saadia, is his "Prayer-book," the so-called "Siddur Rab Amram." Amram was the first to arrange a complete liturgy for use in synagogue and home.
		For Amram did not content himself with giving the mere text of the prayers, but in a species of running commentary added very many Talmudical and gaonic regulations relating to them and their allied ceremonies.

	Amram Gaon
		Amram Ben Sheshna was gaon of Sura in the middle of the 9th century CE, when world Jewry (except, maybe, Israel) was most willing to accept the authority of the Babylonian academies.
		Amram's sources, in addition to the Talmud, were the works of the geonim and the rites of the Babylonian academies.
		Some scholars even maintain that Amram sent to Spain only the "order" of the prayers and blessings together with the relevant laws but not the actual text of the prayers and blessings, which were added later.

		The Bach, in his comments on the Tur, explains that Rav Amram Gaon and the Rambam are actually debating the very applicability of kiddush ha-yom to the daytime.
		The option of reciting kiddush ha-yom during the day is based on the concept of "tashlumin" - a second chance to "repay a debt" granted in certain cases where one was unable to perform a mitzva.

	Union for Reform Judaism - The Roots of the Siddur
		Many of the questions a Gaon received dealt with matters of Jewish law; and, as any lawyer today would do when faced with a question regarding the permissibility or the legality of a particular practice, the Gaon relied on his record of legal precedent, the Babylonian Talmud.
		What had begun so many centuries before Rav Amram as an attempt by the rabbis to build merely a structure for Jewish worship, a progression of themes that individuals and congregations might flesh out in their own way, was now a rigid prayer book with fixed wording and detailed instructions.
		Thus, over the ages, many new modifications of Amram's siddur were composed, nearly all of them based substantially on Amram's original but enlarged and invigorated with the spiritual expression of new generations.

	A Third Case of Pirsumei Nissa: The Pesach Seder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Amram suggests that we do make SheAssa Nissim on Purim and on Chanukah because there is no equivalent Seder or Haggadah read on those days which describes fully the miracle that occurred.
		Amram's position is, in essence, that we don't make a Beracha before reading a text which will contain an equivalent of that Beracha.
		But R. Amram's narrower point, that the Beracha of SheAssa Nissim should have been recited at the Seder, if not for the fact that we already have similar material within the body of the Haggadah itself, that suggests clearly that there is an obligation of Pirsumei Nissa on Pesach night as well.

		The religious consciousness, which felt oppressed at the thought of the non-fulfilment of its solemn vows, accordingly devised a general and comprehensive formula of dispensation which was repeated by the hazzan in the name of the assembled congregation at the beginning of the fast of Atonement.
		This is in accordance with the older text of the formula as it is preserved in the “Siddur” of Amram Gaon (ed.
		The readiness with which vows were made and the facility with which they were annulled by the scribes gave the Karaites an opportunity to attack the Rabbinites, and forced the Geonim to minimize the power of dispensation.
