The structure of the Siddur

Stephen R. Schach

Book - 1996

Using computer graphics to illustrate the structure of the Siddur, the author has harnessed modern technology to help explain and understand a book that is centuries old. If someone wishes to have a word-for-word understanding of a prayer, he or she can read the English translation of that prayer in the Siddur. However, such a word-for-word translationthe content of a prayer - makes little sense unless the context of that prayer is fully comprehended.
