I've noticed that between the oldest siddur in my personal library and the newest, the standards change drastically. For example, all of the ones I own from prior to Artscroll include ALL permutations of the Amidah, including all three differing texts for Yom Kippur (no chazaras hasha"tz though). Then Artscroll comes along, removes that, and adds a huge list of things traditionally set in a separate volume, such as assorted selichos, yotzeros, and other piyutim. However, they remove the Y"N Amidos.Noahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-46019488044430104092010-08-31T23:17:23.898-04:002010-08-31T23:17:23.898-04:00yes it willyes it willRaphael Freemanhttp://www.korenpub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-76403598688176394502010-08-31T14:27:16.220-04:002010-08-31T14:27:16.220-04:00The new all-Hebrew Koren siddur will have all five...The new all-Hebrew Koren siddur will have all five megillot, I think.Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-82400535779879128242010-08-31T14:15:37.466-04:002010-08-31T14:15:37.466-04:00There are many occasional things in siddurim that ...There are many occasional things in siddurim that can be removed. I can see Megillas Esther being a pain if it were put into the place in Shacharit where it is recited, causing you to skip it every day except for that once a year.

For once a year (ok, twice on Purim), I can find those 3 megillos in the back of a chumash or remember to bring my chamesh megillos book with me to shul. I don't see these as much of a bonus as they just weigh the thing down every other day of the year.Jennifer in MamaLandhttp://ronypony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-15695991582865708872010-08-31T11:20:44.177-04:002010-08-31T11:20:44.177-04:00Including Megillas Esther was a great idea.Including Megillas Esther was a great idea.S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-73471545367999157402010-08-31T11:13:15.889-04:002010-08-31T11:13:15.889-04:00Menachem, how's the paper?Menachem, how's the paper?S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-48409731119038703382010-08-31T10:50:49.086-04:002010-08-31T10:50:49.086-04:00My Hungarian grandfather was a devoted adherent of...My Hungarian grandfather was a devoted adherent of Yom Kippur Katan (the one at the end of Av), and for a number of years our shul had a special minyan for it, but I've barely heard a whisper about it for the last 35 years or so. How clever of ArtScroll to have discovered the one feature that Koren-Sacks lacked!

The size of the book. The familiarity with the text. The fullness of text, commentary, translation on the page.

I don't see anything about prayers for the State of Israel, etc.<br /><br />Artscroll is also creating a new RCA siddur to appeal to MO.<br /><br />Of course, Artscroll is vastly discounting their new siddur. They're not above competing like a business. Nothing wrong with that...except they're a non-profit, but whatever.Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.com
