Like all the work of Rabbi Hertz with which I am familiar, this siddur exhibits great scholorship, as well as love of Judaism and it's traditions.

The book contains all the prayers used in daily as well as Shabat worship, in Hebrew as well as an English translation. It also contains lengthy commentaries on these prayers, their history, authorship, and function in the liturgy.

Rabbi Hertz also includes essays on the history of Jewish communal prayer.

This siddur has been in publication for more than forty years, and is still a unique and wonderful achievement, a worthy companion to the Hertz Chumash: "Pentateuch and Haftorahs."

This classic prayer book and commentary combination makes it possible for me to organize a class on Jewish morning worship. We will be studying the history, background and choreography of morning prayers,their origins, etc. I misplace my personal copy and was so pleased to purchase it at a moderate price as a used book. It has always been a wonderful reference source on traditional Jewishprayer and practices.

The temple I belonged to in the 1960's gave this prayer book to the bas and bar mitzvahs.
I highly recommend it for the conservative Jew to give to their children on these occasions
