Koren Sacks Sefard Siddur

The Wisdom, Introduction, Commentary, and Translation of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and the beauty of the koren font merge together for the Koren Sacks Sefard Siddur. When I looked through this siddur and read the commentary I saw that the commentary was compiled with both Jewish and secular sources on the meaning of prayer. Also in the commentary was stories or inspiring messages based on the words of prayer. Another feature of the siddur that I liked is that the Hebrew and English sides of the page are opposite of normal and the words face out and not in allowing for a greater concentration on the words of prayer. A great feature in the Siddur is the laws of daily prayer, holiday prayer, and a guide for a visitor to Israel about special laws. What I liked about it is that it did not say what one must do but it says people do this or the custom is to do this. It allows people to practice Judaism in there own way. The final thing I liked about the siddur is that it is very progressive for women's rights in the orthodox world. For example with the inventation to grace after meals which in the past was only done by men, the siddur says if three or more women eat together they may say the zimmun formula and substitute חברותי for רבותי. For all of these reasons I would recommend the Koren Sacks Siddur to all who are looking for a new meaningful praying experience.
