Reviews

[C. Varn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent siddur for daily minyan including a full amidah, an shortened amidah, and a shiviti meditation with readings and guided meditations. It also includes personal prayers for omer count, havdalah, the bedtime shema, netitat lulav, and hallel for major holidays. It's English is clearly rendered, although the transliterations are different from most other siddurs and may confuse people more familiar with different systems of transliteration. It's theology is clearly progressive, but it does have a good feel for traditional liturgy. I think would be useful to anyone who wishes to daily minyan or personal davening as well as understanding small personal prayers such as putting on Tallit, etc.
