CHAZAK U'VARUCH TO you Rabbi! As an Orthodox Leaning Conservative Jew (I am essentially except I believe in egaliterrianism), It is my favourite Siddur, I daven with it seven days a Week! I am Sephardic, will there be a Koren Sacks Siddur with in the Sephardic siddur?

[korenraphael]

We are currently working on a Nusach Sephard version of the Sacks, but if you are looking for Edot Mizrach, then you'll have to buy our Hebrew-only version.

I saw the siddur at our morning minyan today and was very impressed. I was a bit disappointed when i noted that the nun in Ashre (Psalm 145) is still missing even though the Dead Sea Scrolls contains the nun. I always include that line when I daven. Any chance you will include it in the next edition?

[korenraphael]

I wasn't aware that the author of the Dead Sea Scrolls defined our prayer.

@raphaelfreeman Awesome, thx!!! :-D

[raphaelfreeman]

@ElGeorgiefication Yes. Just making some final minor corrections and then we're off to press.

Hi, KorenRaphael... What's the status on this version (Nusach Sephard)? Is it coming out this year (2012)?

[raphaelfreeman]

militol: the siddur doesn't have transliterations, just translation and commentary. Where on the website was it misleading? (I'll have it fixed).

[militol]

The website is a bit misleading. Does it have any transliterations?

[Daibhidh464]

I'm a gentile living in New Zealand and I pray with the original UK siddur. I love it!

@JRKotler The Gemara in Brachot 4b explains why it is no longer correct to say the verse beginning with a Nun, it i not usually a good idea to go against halacha in the Gemara...
