Half of it is a 28 year old reprint and the other half is a translation and commentary... maybe the best of its kind, all five of them... the most recent from barely literate brooklyn writers. yes it is better than that one. understatement and humility would serve you better -- since it is not a tawdry novel that you are selling here.Tzvee Zahavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833902273722124103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-27887047811497116702009-07-15T14:14:09.036-04:002009-07-15T14:14:09.036-04:00And whilst Sheryl is posting...

There are many things in the siddur which are not in the current Israeli range (although this is going to change over the next 9 months), for example all the tfillot and kriyot for chagim are included and the siddur is fully binational -- you can use it in Israel too!<br /><br />Also, for those grammatically inclined readers, we have added a shva na, kamatz katan, patach ganuv and meteg throughout the entire text.Raphael Freeman MISTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616516020136318194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523041.post-9026653490395849952009-07-15T10:16:07.805-04:002009-07-15T10:16:07.805-04:00Thanks for the mention, Tzvee.

And thanks for seeing the Hebrew side of The Koren Sacks Siddur as masterful vis a vis design and layout, but we believe that the English side is equally beautiful and significant, because of the eloquent translation and commentary of Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. Furthermore, Chief Rabbi Sacks' English introduction is being called by many, "the best introduction to Jewish prayer ever." All in all, we feel The Koren Sacks Siddur is a happy marriage of the English and the Hebrew, and hope people are equally inspired by each.
