Siddur Tehillat Hashem: Nusach Ha-Ari Zal (English and Hebrew Edition) [Hardcover]

Nissen Mangel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1998

This authoritative translation of the complete prayerbook is written in a contemporary English style that avoids the archaic and stilted expressions prevalent in previous translations. It is eloquent, lucid and inspiring while remaining faithful to the original Hebrew text.

An introduction by the translator explores the particular significance of this version of the Siddur, compiled by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, and its relationship to other variant forms of the nusach ha-tefillah. Rabbi Schneur Zalman, the founder of Chabad-Lubavitch Chasidism, researched sixty different versions of the Siddur and subjected every word to careful scrutiny, making it linguistically faultless according to all the complexities of Hebrew grammar and syntax. He also incorporated into the text every detail and intention of Lurianic Kabbalah, in addition to meticulously following the Talmudic and Halachic rulings concerning the prayers.

The translation includes Selichot, Hoshanot, Pirkei Avot, and the Torah reading for various festivals, as well as the daily, Sabbath and Festival prayers. Also included are laws and customs relating to the liturgy and the rite of prayer - all in a highly readable and graphically pleasing typographic design.

This review is from: Siddur Tehillat Hashem: Nusach Ha-Ari Zal (English and Hebrew Edition) (Hardcover)

This Siddur is an excellent prayer book for both orthodox and ultra-orthodox congregations. Unlike many orthodox Siddur's which soley utilize Hebrew only, this book presents the English translation which is vital to Jews of today. The Siddur is also a great reference book which also provides the necessary blessing and prayers for the life cycle events.

This review is from: Siddur Tehillat Hashem: Nusach Ha-Ari Zal (English and Hebrew Edition) (Hardcover)

This book had pages that were publication errors and many sections had drastic changes in the point size of the lettering. Ink quality of printing was also poor. Also there were pages that had been folded in all around to fit the book, obviously this is a 'misprint' book. I was very disappointed. But being a book lover I kept it. The content was close to what I was looking for, and as this book represents knowledge of my faith, I will still treasure it for its content. But I will never purchase another book from this seller again. This is not a novel but a prayer book, and a reference book. To misrepresent the condition, and sell it when it is obviously poorly manufactured is sad...both for the book, and what it says about the sellers and publishers.
