Weekly and Shabbat Sephardic Siddur with an Interlinear Translation in English | Understand what you are reading and learn Hebrew as well

Great Siddur
I personally love this siddur. If you are someone that is sephardic and learning hebrew, (perhaps someone that is converting) this could be a very good choice! word to word translation underneath the words and all the prayers included for daily and chagim and sabbaths

A joy to behold
I am very happy to have added this to my collection of siddurim.I was lacking a dual-language nusach Sephard, and found the format of the ArtScroll Interlinear Askenaz quite useful for Hebrew study as well as being a quality Orthodox siddur. (though it does have some errors, but,I'll save that for that review). As such, I first ordered their interlinear Sephardic sirrur only to discover it wasn’t as good as as their Ashkenaz.I returned it within three hours.This is superior in every way. If this was available nusach Ashkenaz I would replace my ArtScroll immediately.The instructions are clear and well-placed, the translation is comprehensible, accurate*, and useful for both learning and Kavanah.However, the thing I find truly striking about the book itself is the typesetting and layout. It's beautiful. The font choices are great. The Hebrew is beautiful, the English functional. It makes it instantly clear what each is for: the Hebrew is how we relate with Hashem, the English is there to help you understand the Hebrew words.There are Siddurim for praying in English. I have a few good ones. This is not that. This is for study and/or concentration.The print quality, the binding, the cover and even the paper itself is wonderful!It's just beautiful.Highly recommend this to anyone looking for either a Sephardic siddur, trying to understand the difference between the rites or even just studying Hebrew.*The translation is not perfect. None are. Any translation of anything has an agenda. It's necessary. This one is very even handed, but pushes a bit hard on the Shema's instructions for tefillin. It's not written as explicitly as it's made to seem. The Mishna exists for a reason. I'm sure there are a few other such instances. It's not a big problem, really.Also, rather than trying to justify “for not making me a woman” it simply does not translate them. They're still there, with instructions for both men and women. It's just all Hebrew.I suppose I'm saying that if you're sticking to tradition, just do that. Don't pretend the tradition was always progressive, or hide what the tradition actually is.

Wouldn't trade this siddur for a bar of gold........
Unless I could sell the gold and by as many of these as possible to give away to bless others. So beautiful, heavy, and now my search is over. I can continue learn Hebrew, the holy language, and understand what I am praying. It will give more meaning to my worship and praise for the Most High, blessed be His Name forever. LOVE this book and cannot say it enough. Toda raba for the time and effort it took to make it, may the publishers be blessed for it, and may many more people be blessed to discover this book, get one, and fill the world with more Light and Truth and glorifying the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Amein veh Amein

Great siddur for those who are returning to prayer and want to know what they are praying.
It is amazing how far we've come with English translations of Edot Mizrach / Sephardic siddurim. This siddur is a true testimony of this. It truly gives native English speaking Sepharadim another option for a siddur, especially for (top-to-bottom) linear translation - especially in America. This siddur is thorough, concise, and a great siddur for those who want to know what they are praying. The siddur was delivered sooner than expected and the item is exactly what is shown in the photos above.I highly recommend this siddur for native English speakers who need a siddur in accordance to Nusah Sepharadi and for those who are in the process of returning to Judaism / prayer.
