5.0 out of 5 stars A Jewish Daily Prayer Book for the 21st century, 26 Nov 2006
By Betzalel (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hebrew Daily Prayer Book (Imitation Leather)
This fourth edition of the famous Singer's Prayer Book will make the same impact on the Jewish world today as the first edition did in 1890. Not only do the new layout, size, Hebrew font, instructions, rubrics and readability make it 'user friendly', but the new translations and insightful commentaries by the Chief Rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks, are surely going to become the benchmark by which all other Hebrew/English Jewish daily prayer books are judged.
The Hebrew font has been designed to help those who want to read in the modern Hebrew pronunciation and the clarity of print in both Hebrew and English are excellent. The new elements of prayer will also be of great help to today's reader, whether at home, in the synagogue or when travelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing new edition of the old reliable Singers Siddur, 1 May 2007
This review is from: Hebrew Daily Prayer Book (Imitation Leather)
This is a major re-working of the "Singers Siddur", the standard prayer book of the United Hebrew Congregations of the UK and Commonwealth.

The font has been changed to be more like the the popular Art Scroll. Some people think this is an improvement while others feel it is a retrograde step. I think it is a matter of taste.

Big improvements are:

(1) The addition of new prayers that are in Art Scroll and were not in the old Singers such as "ana b'koach" and "Yedid nephesh" in place with no page-flipping on Fri evening, and some new prayers for life events.

(2) Guide-markings to pronunciation (when to pronounce kamatz as "o" in sephardi pronounciation and when to articulate the "sheva") are most welcome.

(3) A wonderful complete retranslation has been done by the Chief Rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks. He has both a fine command of the English language and a deep knowledge of the Hebrew prayers so is well placed to do this.

(4) The new introduction to the prayer book by Chief Rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks has been highly praised as reason enough to buy this book.

(5) More guidance on what to do (actions for prayers etc) has been added and there are new footnotes by the Chief Rabbi that are worth reading.

(6) Efforts have been made to put home prayers like kiddush and havdallah on one page rather than page-flipping in the middle (as in the previous edition) but this has only partially been achieved.

You get a silk place marker which is a nice touch - the larger editions have 2 markers. Actually, I find I need more than that in practice. The binding and cover seem durable so far.

The fine comentaries from the centenary edition by the former Chief Rabbi Lord Jakobovitz have all been dropped so don't throw away your old "Centenary Edition" siddur which is still of great value.

This is new, fresh, more usable and I highly recommend it. I welcome the competition to the Art Scroll which is American, too literal minded and too prescriptive. Here is a new home-grown British Hebrew prayer book for the 21st century - A truly remarkable achievement for such a small Jewish community.

The new translations are a lot of fun to meet. Shema Yisrael is "Listen Israel". The head-tefillin are to be for "emblems between your eyes" rather that for "frontlets between your eyes" as in the older editions. Personally, I would have translated the passage in the shema "when you lie down and when you get up" rather than "when you lie down and when you rise" as the latter seems to me to lack verbal symmetry, but this is a tiny quibble. In the new Sacks edition, we give thanks and bless in the morning for the "mind"'s rather than the "cockerel"'s intelligence to distinguish night from day. Both translations are valid and it is nice to get the alternative, just for a change.

My only reason for giving 4 and not 5 stars to this "pocket edition" is that the one I purchased had a few pages on which the print was blurred (perhaps that was just a fault with the printing of my copy) and the tiny print of the pocket edition is hard to read unless your eyes are pretty good - on the other hand it is really handy to carry about and use.

Some intial print mistakes in the first printing have been corrected in the second printing (the joys of digital print layout).

Amazon seem to offer the best prices I have seen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful little prayerbook, 19 Sep 2007
By J. Scott "whitefort" (Co. Down United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hebrew Daily Prayer Book (Imitation Leather)
While I'm very happy with this item, I felt I had to deduct a star for a couple of reasons. First, the print is *very* small. This is unavoidable when you have to put so much text into such a small volume (and it *is* nice that the book is easily pocket-sized.) But if you have less-than-perfect vision, you may have problems with this edition.

My second quibble is that Amazon describe this book as 'Leather bound'. This led me to expect that it would have the nice leather finish that you get on some Artscroll products. In fact, the cover on this book isn't leather at all, but quite nasty paper-thin vinyl. The book is still most certainly worth buying, but if you're expecting a nice leather finish, you'll be sorely disappointed.
