Koren Siddur - Wikipedia
The largest section of course is by Rabbi Dr. Lord Jonathan Sacks who goes into great detail into the origins of prayer and an explanation of
Jewish prayer as a conversation with God. The other form — generally known as avoda. Sacrifice could not be less like prayer. He also discusses
various other aspects of prayer such as its structure, the historical impression that Jewish prayer contains, its faith aspects, Kavana and Midrashim.
It is worth contrasting the translations of ArtScroll with that of Rabbi Sacks. That is the ultimate test of its value. One may ask why I choose to
make that comparison. The answer is quite simple. The ArtScroll siddur has been a remarkable success story. It has virtually replaced all other

forms and styles of Siddurim in Shuls all over America. It has for years been the standard siddur for most Orthodox Shuls and even some
Conservative ones. ArtScroll did an excellent job in translating the siddur and making it user friendly. A Lot of research and time went into that and
it shows.
First published in - they are now pretty well entrenched. Deservedly so. They monopolize the market now. If the Koren Siddur hopes to make
some inroads towards popular acceptance and use — it has to compete with ArtScroll. It is in the translation where in my view Koren wins that
argument. His translations are truly far more elegant - a word used by many who have read it. I have always thought that translation to be quite
childish when used in translating actual prayer. Koren: Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole world filled with his glory. Who is like you,
mighty in holiness, too awesome for praise, doing wonders. View Product. The Torah is an encounter between past and present, moment and

explores the Book of Genesis in search for answers to the fundamental questions of human existence: Who are we? The interior has a cool font,
more stylized than the squared-off letters in most prayerbooks. These are probably closer to the look of the original stone-cut letters than those in
other prayerbooks — a daled looks like a daled , and not at all like a resh. The pages are thin but firm. A few months ago, when my daughter was
really young, she routinely tried to make a grab for the pages, and the stiff paper of my Israeli siddur was just about the only thing that kept that
prayerbook intact. Back to the weight, though: these pages really are incredibly thin, like one of those hotel-room Christian bibles. Over pages
altogether, including some back-of-the-book bonuses, like prayers before death, after childbirth, and after recovering from a serious illness.
There are also psalms for special occasions, a halakhic guide to praying for visitors to Israel, and a calendar of Jewish leap years that goes well
into the new century. Not every siddur can fit in the entirety of Jewish thought and texts, and a few handy things to have around are missing. The
Book of Psalms is a cool extra feature inside a lot of siddurim, but not this one. The English and Hebrew are both laid out like poetry, both starting
at the margin, which works really well when you know a little bit of Hebrew, and you want to flip back and forth between the languages. Perhaps
the biggest grace of this siddur is Rabbi Sir Dr. He writes about the prayers in an easy, conversational way that is sparse, functional and to-thepoint.
For the Shema , he says this:. The Shema contains no human requests, no praise, no plea.

while one cannot say that they actually "read" a siddur, especially cover to cover, the introduction written by Sacks is one of the best introductions

The Koren Sacks Siddur - Rabbi Sacks
Nov 14, Benjamin Sevitt rated it it was amazing. I've read this many times, though admittedly not all the way through. I tend to reread the same bits
over and over again. View 1 comment. Dec 15, C. Varn rated it it was amazing. I still use transliterated Siddurs for my personal davening, but the
Koren Sacks Siddur is an excellent translation with Rabbi Sacks' modern Orthodox sensibilities in mind. The commentary and translation are
extremely Enlightening and enrich my prayers. Koren's excellent layout and very clear font set really help for trying to improve my Hebrew. Sacks'
commentary is very helpful. May 20, Keenan rated it it was amazing. I just wanted to say a couple things about this siddur. First off, I think it's
probably the best siddur on the market for an English speaker. I particularly like how the English translations are modern, even though the words
don't flow as well for me, since I'm more used to the Art Scroll Wasserman siddur.
This is the best siddur for those of us that strongly identify with the zionist movement, as there are actually prayers for certain aspects of being in
Israel, as well as and most importantl I just wanted to say a couple things about this siddur. This is the best siddur for those of us that strongly
identify with the zionist movement, as there are actually prayers for certain aspects of being in Israel, as well as and most importantly for me
prayers for the state of Israel and the IDF, which are strangely absent from Art Scroll. You'd think that any modern siddur would include these.
Moving on, the Hebrew font Koren uses in their books is by far, in my opinion, the most beautiful Hebrew font in existence.
It's the same font in their personal Tanakh. It's clear, and easy to read. They even go the extra mile and designate when a vowel marker is meant to
be pronounced slightly different than you'd expect, which is an amazing addition for people who might not have fluency in Hebrew. The only
negative aspects of this siddur which aren't really that negative are as follows: There's noticeably less instruction on and commentary on the
prayers. So, if you're new to actually practicing Judaism, you might not find as much supplementary information as you would in the Art Scroll
Wasserman edition. Don't get me wrong, there is still enough instruction even if this is your first siddur, it's just less detailed. I also wish that certain
sections, even though they're short were independently listed in the table of contents.
I don't do the full Shacharit in the morning, so I find myself frantically searching for Aleinu and Ashrei. Fortunately, there are two ribbon markers to
make this easier. In all, this is probably the siddur I personally will stick with, and I highly recommend it for a Jew of any level of observance,
especially if you care about Judaism AND Israel. I've been reviewing a number of siddurim, trying to find one that works best for me. This one is in
the top three, possibly the top two. I've got a lot of great things to say about it: the specialized font is both beautiful and easy to follow, the
translations are understandable, and the footnotes lead the davener to want to study what could be a better compliment?!
Downfalls are the expected: lack of inclusivity and little transliteration. The weak points in no way take away from the strong. This one is highly
recommended. I switch it up with prayer books to help lift prayer out of routine and learn new ways of understanding the translations. That's why
this is on "needs a companion" book shelf. When I pray with this book there are places where I need to substitute what it says in the text, because
my prayers need to include the names of women and all other people in the world, not just Jewish men and the Jewish people. This book has
wonderful commentary and a beautiful layout. It is also helpful to understand the h I switch it up with prayer books to help lift prayer out of routine
and learn new ways of understanding the translations. It is also helpful to understand the history of prayers and rituals that I am unfamiliar with
because I don't practice Orthodox Judaism. Sacks' Siddur is one of the best arranged and has one of the cleanest translations I have seen to date.
But while one cannot say that they actually "read" a siddur, especially cover to cover, the introduction written by Sacks is one of the best
introductions to Jewish prayer that I have ever read. Sacks brings extensive knowledge, not only of Judaism, but also of a vast array of disciplines,
together with great eloquence, in all of his writing. This is a must have on any Jewish bookshelf. Clear font, color of paper is gentle to the eyes not

The siddur exemplifies Koren's traditions of textual accuracy and intuitive graphic design, and offers an illuminating translation, introduction and
commentary by one of the world's leading Jewish thinkers, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. It is the only Orthodox siddur that includes: prayers for the state
of Israel, its soldiers and national holidays, and a halakhic guide for visitors; prayers following childbirth and upon the birth of a daughter; a modern
translation, and citations of modern authorities.

In prayer, we speak to God. In the Shema, God, through the Torah, speaks to us. Like the text itself, the commentary flows from the left page to
the right page, even though the book goes from right to left. I suppose that could be construed as a nutshell review of the entire siddur. It leads you
to expect things. Not to replace ArtScroll or Siddur Sim Shalom — or any other prayerbook, for that matter — but to shake up the status quo a
little, and to give us a new way to read those same words. Tisha B'Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, is testament to the failure of prayer
to avert national catastrophe.
