The Koren Sacks Siddur: A Hebrew/English Prayerbook with Commentary by Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, Canadian Edition, Compact size (Hebrew Edition) (9653012983)

Editorial Review:

The Koren Sacks Siddur is the first new Orthodox Hebrew/English siddur in a generation. The Siddur marks the culmination of years of rabbinic scholarship, exemplifies Koren s tradition 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 Sir Jonathan Sacks. Halakhic guides to daily, Shabbat, and holiday prayers supplement the traditional text. Prayers for the State of Israel, its soldiers, and national holidays, for the American government, upon the birth of a daughter and more reinforce the Siddur s contemporary relevance. A special Canadian Edition is the first to include prayers for the Canadian government within the body of the text.

A welcome siddur:

Have you ever wondered why almost every orthodox shul seems to use the Artscroll siddur, even though it has instructions and very right wing commentary that the congregation may not agree with?

I recently purchased the Koren Sacks Hebrew/English Siddur (Orthodox Union)(personal size), and I can honestly say it puts the others to shame. Not only is the hard cover beautiful, but the most important part, the inside, is... more info

Beautiful Orthodox siddur:

This siddur is beautiful to look at--the typefaces are very nice, and it is nicely bound. The inclusion of the liturgies for Israel Independence Day and Jerusalem Day is a plus that sets this siddur apart from other Orthodox siddurim available in the United States.

Reasons for making this the Siddur I davvan with each day:

As someone who davvans each day with Rinnat Yisrael and has too davvaned with Artscroll I am considering changing to the this new Sacks Koren Siddur. Even if I do not I would recommend it most highly. It has a truly insightful introduction by Rabbi Sacks on the subject of Jewish prayer. He provides wonderful new insights in showing how Prayer is an essential human and Jewish activity. He tells the story of Jewish prayer historically. The two elements that of individual spontaneous prayer which has its... more info
