Koren Siddur - WikipediaThe largest section of course is by Rabbi Dr. Lord Jonathan Sacks who goes into great detail into the origins of prayer and an explanation ofJewish prayer as a conversation with God. The other form — generally known as avoda. Sacrifice could not be less like prayer. He also discussesvarious 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 tomake 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 someConservative ones. ArtScroll did an excellent job in translating the siddur and making it user friendly. A Lot of research and time went into that andit shows.First published in - they are now pretty well entrenched. Deservedly so. They monopolize the market now. If the Koren Siddur hopes to makesome inroads towards popular acceptance and use — it has to compete with ArtScroll. It is in the translation where in my view Koren wins thatargument. His translations are truly far more elegant - a word used by many who have read it. I have always thought that translation to be quitechildish when used in translating actual prayer. Koren: Holy Holy Holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole world filled with his glory.

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 inother 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 wasreally 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 thatprayerbook intact. Back to the weight, though: these pages really are incredibly thin, like one of those hotel-room Christian bibles. Over pagesaltogether, 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 wellinto 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. TheBook 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 startingat 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. Perhapsthe 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.The Koren Sacks Siddur - A Hebrew/English Prayerbook, Leader's Size - OU PressThere are 46 pages of introductory information including a forward by Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb.
