The Koren Hashem Imadi Siddur features an easy-to-read, conceptual English translation and commentary focused on fundamental concepts of tefilla that bring the text to life. The format invites readers with varying levels of connection to prayer and a wide range of skills and abilities to join and be included in tefilla.
Ease of navigation is enhanced by the prominent marking of critical sections of prayer, color coding of the commentary and responsive sections between the Leader and congregation, and the use of icons to provide pictorial instructions for actions embedded in tefilla.
The First Edition, designed by Yachad, a global organization dedicated to addressing the needs of Jewish individuals with disabilities, was groundbreaking. Written and designed by Rabbi Dr. Benjy Leibowitz and Michael Adler of Yachad, and produced by Koren Publishers, the innovative Yachad Koren Siddur was designed to make tefilla a space for all readers to pray together b’yachad. The Siddur appealed to people with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, who found it a useful tool to enhance their connection to what they were saying.
Building on the success of the First Edition and its appeal to a wide range of readers, this Second Edition, now called The Koren Hashem Imadi Siddur, includes full tefillot for weekdays, Shabbat, and ḥol ha’moed. Torah readings for Mondays, Thursdays, Shabbat Mincha, fast days, Chanuka, Purim, and the Shalosh Regalim have been added, along with other holiday material.
Hashem Imadi continues this trailblazing approach, intentionally and lovingly designed to make tefilla more accessible and meaningful for all.
