Info

while one cannot say that they actually "read" a siddur, especially cover to cover, the introduction written by Sacks is one of the best introductionsto 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 too white! Downside: little more than just text andtranslation of prayers. The Artscroll Wasserman edition adds plenty of useful comments.

I've read this many times, though admittedly not all the way through. I tend to reread the same bitsover 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 theKoren Sacks Siddur is an excellent translation with Rabbi Sacks' modern Orthodox sensibilities in mind. The commentary and translation areextremely 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'sprobably the best siddur on the market for an English speaker. I particularly like how the English translations are modern, even though the wordsdon'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 inIsrael, 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 stronglyidentify with the zionist movement, as there are actually prayers for certain aspects of being in Israel, as well as and most importantly for meprayers 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 tobe pronounced slightly different than you'd expect, which is an amazing addition for people who might not have fluency in Hebrew. The onlynegative aspects of this siddur which aren't really that negative are as follows: There's noticeably less instruction on and commentary on theprayers. So, if you're new to actually practicing Judaism, you might not find as much supplementary information as you would in the Art ScrollWasserman 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 certainsections, 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 tomake 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 inthe 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, thetranslations 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 highlyrecommended. I switch it up with prayer books to help lift prayer out of routine and learn new ways of understanding the translations. That's whythis 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, becausemy 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 haswonderful 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 routineand learn new ways of understanding the translations. It is also helpful to understand the history of prayers and rituals that I am unfamiliar withbecause 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 bestintroductions to Jewish prayer that I have ever read.

In the Shema, God, through the Torah, speaks to us. Like the text itself, the commentary flows from the left page tothe right page, even though the book goes from right to left.

Those are the negatives. The normal format of having the Hebrew text on the right and theEnglish text on the left has been reversed. That did not bother me as much as I thought it would when I first heard about it. Now for the positives -which I believe far outweigh those negatives. There are 46 pages of introductory information including a forward by Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb.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 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 otherforms 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.
