Summary: Excellent Popular Commentary on Standard Siddur
Comment: Rabbi Reuven Hammer offers extensive and edifying commentary on the religious themes, historical background, and literary context on the traditional Ashkenazic prayerbook. The commentary appears in the margins around the previously-published Siddur Sim Shalom for Shabbat & Festivals, retaining the earlier work's pagination, making this volume both familiar and usable in public worship. Dr. Hammer addresses exegetical and homiletic issues raised by the text. He comments on words, phrases, themes and structure, and adds pointers on generally accepted practice. A concise and informative introduction, commentary on Pirkei Avot, and a glossary are a bonus. This is a "must have" for the student of classical traditional Judaism and a great aid to the worshiper in the contemporary synagogue.
The typeface of the prayerbook is small, with the commentary somewhat larger; the volume is large but managable. It is attractive and suitable as a gift.
