The Koren Talpiot Shabbat Humash: Humash & Shabbat Siddur with English Instructions, Askenaz (Hebrew Edition)

This is a very handy, readable, useful, 5-star text in a 4-star binding. Koren has never been able to attain the durable binding of their Brooklyn competitor. This one has glued signatures, which is good, but they can't get the cover properly glued to the inside pages. Purchasers will need to do the re-glue themselves.

The binding is a wonderful enhancement to an old standard that I only hope will stand up to regular use. The reset type is also crisp and clear, in Koren's own font. Having an edition that was produced for diaspora use also lessens confusion on the points where that makes a difference.

I returned it. Too small

Excellent version of this text in that it is compact (great for travel) and pretty (got it for my daughter). Definitely recommend.

I like it because it's Koren, although I was surprised that this is really a Shabbos Siddur more than it is a Humash. It does include all of the Humash (in Hebrew only) so it's more than just a Siddur (which has English translations too), although I think it's best suited for a shul rather than for home Humash use...

I like this siddur a lot. It has a great font and well arranged.

While the English instructions don't add much to this volume over the classic version used by thousands for decades, many other additions in this volume make it attractive for an upgrade, or to be introduced to someone interested in one volume that truly has everything one needs for a complete Shabbat experience. In addition to the Humash and haftarot, the tefilot from Friday Mincha through Saturday night maariv are presented with a new layout. The additional prayers for the United States, American Military, and Israeli MIA's introduced in the Koren Sacks Siddur are featured. Significantly, a good selection of Zemirot are added for all three meals, along with Birkat Hamazon, Sheva B'rakhot and the prayers for a Brit Milah. A beautiful new edition!

For those of you who enjoy the old Koren chumash and shabbos siddur as much as I did, this one is a nice improvement. I went through two old ones as the binding had to be repaired several times. This version is bound beautifully and they have increased the size of the siddur while adding english instructions. The siddur also is much more comprehensive than in the past and the pages are less flimsy. All in all a wonderfully updated version.

Small but very useful as a travelling kit.
