Well just as the Rosh haShanah Machzor changed my perspective on the prayer service, so too the Yom Kippur Machzor has changed the way I daven forever. The Translation is lucid, the layout clear, and logical and a pleasure to use. The extended vidui is at the back, which can be a bit difficult to wield, but is not overly cumbersome that it was detrimental to the prayers. The commmentary there and layout was detailed, but it is more useful to study the whole thing well in advance, and then during the prayer to simply glance at the english, where necessary.

Everything about this machzor has been thought out and carefully set out. I found the additional piyutim that most batei knesset (synagogues) to be in smaller print, or additions in the back of the book. The commentary and introduction are works of art and inspiration, and always make the use of the machzor meaningful. Whereever I pray, be it in Israel or outside Israel, it is a machzor I always keep close.

The new interlinear translation of this book has made the prayer service even more inspiring, yet, the original is still useful in its flowing translation and clear laws and directions, and superior introduction.

Artscroll has also released a Hebrew version of this masterpiece in nusach sefard.

The Machzor provides an overview of the meaning of the day, and valuable notes on the meaning of the various prayers. I have made use of it for many years and find it highly valuable.

wow this is a great Prayerbook! Artscroll has done it again! I like the layout of it. very easy to fallow. I brought it with me to Shul and it was nice using my own. I did feel some of the print was a tad small. I would suggest to anyone.
