...Oh yeah! I met him and had Shabbos meals by him!<br />Actually I had a different connection with him. I was going to a friend's wedding so I looked up "Edinburgh" and "kosher" on Yahoo and his name came up. David, right?<br />Anyway, I called him and spoke with his wife and she asked where I was calling from. I figured that all she knew about Canada was Toronto so I assured her she had never heard of the city I was calling from. She insisted I tell her and when I did she noted she was best friends with a lady who lived a floor above us in our apartment building. Small Jewish world!<br />Great guy.

...Your article only describes the American market.<br /><br />I grew up in New Zeaalnd where we used the British Singer Siddur, which was and excellent Siddur for it's time, and the Centenial edition that came out a few years ago is i believe superior to Artscroll.<br /><br />It is that translation, Ry Chief rabbi Sacks, that was used in the Koren Siddur.<br /><br />What I like about the Singer Siddur, in addition to clear layout and easy instructions, it is very faithul to Minhag - following the British Minhag.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-58492310422464340092011-01-12T11:25:09.963-05:002011-01-12T11:25:09.963-05:00While I'm not with Chabad, I've liked thei...While I'm not with Chabad, I've liked their siddur and machzor translations by N.
