Even Artscroll doesn't bother with Pesukei d'Zimra, for the most part.<br /><br />@sweetcrunchyjewy, haven't seen that one. I wonder, if you use a siddur every day for 6 years, if you absorb the footnotes, a little at a time. My theory has been that you overlook them more and more, so that they become completely invisible over time. But perhaps, as your experience shows, that is not the case.Tziviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828930310967808828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21153604.post-69910885553134403882014-07-14T15:28:57.222-04:002014-07-14T15:28:57.222-04:00I have the Koren MiBereishit siddur for my oldest ...I have the Koren MiBereishit siddur for my oldest (3.5 years). He loves it. I love it. Pictures are awesome, and he is learning a lot from it. Great typography, etc, etc. My only qualm is that while it attempts to follow Shachris, and does a pretty good job, one or two more prayers from Psukei D'Zimra would alleviate some of the "this page again Abba" questions as he tries following along with me.AdmHpknshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149866184694921388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21153604.post-68784435296274065602014-07-13T12:41:40.138-04:002014-07-13T12:41:40.138-04:00I have a soft spot for Siddureinu (edited by Green...I have a soft spot for Siddureinu (edited by Greenberg and Silverman.) There are very few illustrations, but the text is large and clear, and the tefillot that are included are complete. Where the tefillot differ from other siddurim (birkot hashachar, for example) they include a footnote at the bottom that states what the original tefillah said. There is some commentary and explanation that I remember being able to read and understand around age 8 or 9. It could be nostalgia, or familiarity (this is the siddur I davened with for six years, before they made us buy something more grown-up for middle school,) but I really like this siddur. sweetcrunchyjewyhttp://sweetcrunchyjewy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
