Machzorim

The Rosh Hashanah prayer service. So many hours. So many prayers. Here's one way to make them more meaningful to us.

Imagine having a wise, experienced, compassionate friend sitting next to you as you pray on Rosh Hashanah, quietly sharing insights and inspirational stories to help you get the most out of the prayer experience.

You can. His name is Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski MD. And he's here with you, in Twerski on Machzor, to help you discover the depth and meaning of the Rosh Hashanah Machzor.

Through stories and explanations, we begin to learn so many things about Rosh Hashanah and its prayers:

• How can we relate to Hashem as our King? As our Father? As both at the same time?
• Why does the word tefillah mean so much than merely a prayer?
• Why do we eat symbolic foods on Rosh Hashanah; aren't our prayers enough?
• What is the highest honor a person can attain? And why do we try to attain it on Rosh Hashanah?

World-renowned psychiatrist, bestselling author, and beloved rav, Rabbi Dr. Twerski has been guiding us for decades. And now, with Twerski on Machzor, we can take him to synagogue with us on Rosh Hashanah, to ensure a meaningful prayer experience - and a very happy new year.

The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor is a companion to the Koren Sacks Rosh Hashana Mahzor, and one volume among a growing body of work produced by the celebrated Koren-Sacks partnership.

The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor marries the sophisticated graphic approach for which Koren Publishers Jerusalem is renowned with the insight and eloquence of Rabbi Sacks, one of today's leading Jewish thinkers.

The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor brings out the inner meaning of the Yom Kippur prayers by aligning the Hebrew and English texts, highlighting key words, distinguishing poetry from prose, and using beautiful fonts designed by master typographer Eliyahu Koren.

Rabbi Sacks translation brings readers closer than ever before to the authentic meaning of the Hebrew text, while his introduction and commentary provide new ways of understanding and experiencing the Yom Kippur service.

Includes additional Piyutim and Selihot as well as the full text of the Mishna Yoma with commentary.

I's easy to pray with meaning in Hebrew with the new interlinear format developed by ArtScroll to give you maximum comprehension with minimum effort.

How can this new format help you?

See for yourself!

• Your eyes never budge from the Hebrew word
• You view Hebrew and English simultaneously
• Your concentration is unbroken
• You focus on the meaning of the prayer, because you see the translation as you pray
• As your eye sweeps over each line of print, it notes the precise English definition of every word printed just below the Hebrew.
• When you come to a word you do not understand, the English translation is right there word by word, so you easily absorb the meaning and move on.
• This visual device keeps your eye moving right to left, right along with the Hebrew, even though you are reading in English! This system is so effective that ArtScroll is having it patented.

The secret of this remarkable innovation is the row of arrows between the English words. 
The more you use the Interlinear editions, the more you learn to associate Hebrew and English terms, become aware of nuances of meaning, even discover grammatical patterns. The result is increased comprehension of Hebrew in every context.
Whatever your level of Hebrew knowledge, you can keep up with the service and participate in meaningful prayer.

The Interlinear Series brings you ArtScroll's tradition of excellence in translation, a masterfully written commentary, clear, concise instructions and comprehensive Laws sections.
