The Koren Siddur, originally published in 1981, has been typeset anew for maximum clarity and legibility. It comes with the heritage of the venerable Koren Publishing House, Jerusalem, whose Biblical and liturgical texts are indisputably the most accurate, and, to many, the most beautiful in the world. Teams of rabbis, scholars, and designers from Israel, North America, and England have spent nearly three years researching and updating every subtlety of the Hebrew text. The outstanding teacher of English-speaking Jewry, Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, provides a poetic English translation and illuminating commentary. The siddur proudly reflects the centrality of Israel, with prayers for the state, its soldiers, and national holidays. Compact size, Ashkenaz, with dark slate Skivertex softcover binding. Fits neatly into talit and tefilin bags. Ideal for students and travelers.
