All Hebrew for Israel.<br /><br />For America (which also works in Israel) there is the Koren Sacks Siddur, bilingual with intro, commentary and translation by Rav Sacks and halakha guide by Rabbi Clark.<br /><br />There is also, very shortly, (ie it's at the printers) the Talpiot Edition. This is the same as the Sacks ie for America, but no Sacks, so no translation, commentary or intro, but with Halakha Guides. This again is for America, but works in Israel.<br /><br />Both these editions are nusach Ashkenaz. There will most likely be a nusach Sefard in the Talpiot edition. <br /><br />For Israel, there are at least 2 new siddurim in the pipeline. That means we are working on it and should be out in the months ahead. The first is the new Tziyyon edition. Again, this is for Israel only, with instructions in Hebrew. There are some very nice features in this siddur which have yet to be announced. This is not a Sacks Siddur in Hebrew but a new siddur.<br /><br />This will be available initially nusach Ashkenaz and Sefard (they will be released together) and later Edot Mizrach.<br /><br />There is also another siddur again Ashkenaz and Sefard, being worked on by Rav Rimon (Rav "Yatz"). This should be out in about a year or so.<br /><br />Again both Tziyyon and Rimon are Ashkenaz and Sefard for Israel in Hebrew.<br /><br />I hope that this clears things up.Raphael Freemanhttp://www.korensiddur.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-69121992467976533472009-06-09T03:29:36.545+03:002009-06-09T03:29:36.545+03:00Barnes & Noble has this Siddur, but they only ...Barnes & Noble has this Siddur, but they only list the Ashkenaz, or Mizrach, but no Nusach Sefard.

No joke.<br /><br />Koren's existing Hebrew Siddur has nothing in it but the prayer text.<br /><br />The new siddur is chock full of well written commentary from Rabbi Sacks.<br /><br />I also don't like the old Koren's font.

Koren have had a great Hebrew-only siddur available for at least 20 years.<br /><br />I like it because it is thin and easy to fit in a tallis bag (although there is an edition available on thicker paper), however I no longer use it regularly as I find Koren's font difficult to read - even though it was the first font ever designed explicitly for a siddur)<br /><br />And BTW - Holly Roller, this is an American Siddur, not British. It was commissioned by the OU.<br />The translation comes from the new Singer Siddur (which is an excellent siddur IMHO), however that siddur has the English on the Right.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-78271036954001856592009-06-08T14:22:39.742+03:002009-06-08T14:22:39.742+03:00I also have not used Eng-Heb in a while.
