Koren Sacks Siddur, Compact Size, Ashkenaz, Hebrew/English Paperback – 1 May 2009

This is really a lovely prayer book (or Sidur to use the Hebrew term), I have and use a number of prayer books, this one has an elegant font for the Hebrew and the English translation is on Left-hand margin of the double pages. There are notes at the bottom of the page but these are not distracting, but are informative if you choose to read them. I should say that Rabbi Sacks has done a wonderful job of translating the Hebrew and the Aramaic of the prayers into a graceful and free following English. I enjoy using this for personal prayer and recommend it highly. I should also add that ergonomicly this Sidur feels, right. It sits in the hand well is not to heavy but feels substantial at the same time the use of this Sidur lends itself to a more relaxed style and rate or prayer.

The format and layout of this Siddur is excellent, making it very easy to follow. Having the Hebrew on the left hand page aids in the reading. The commentary and references remind me of the Hertz Siddur which, for many of us, is the first port of call with any questions about Jewish liturgy.

full of prayers and info

I didn't realise it was a small version the print is very hrs to read

A truly high quality and beautiful book that is well compiled, formatted, designed and printed. An excellent edition in every way.

This Siddur is a handy size and easy to work with both in the synagogue and at home. The English translations and very helpful if one's Hebrew is not all that good (and I am afraid this is so in my case). Apart from that, there are explanations and laws pertaining to the rituals and religious holidays. I am thrilled to have it

The most user friendly prayer book for the Modern Orthodox Jew and others.Highly recommended.
