So I haven't received it yet cuz shipping, but I ordered this one from Congregation Sha'ar Zahav because it was highly recommended!

https://shaarzahav.org/our-siddur/

I also discovered that Artscroll is currently giving away siddurim, including non-Ashki ones!

I also have and love Mishkan T'filah, and am currently waiting for my travel version to be delivered 😊

Thanks! I'll have to pass on the Sha'ar Zahav for now, it's awfully expensive and I just did a payment plan on my credit card for the Lev Shalem and the Mahzor Lev Shalem together. But I'd be interested to check that one out someday!

But I will take advantage of a free Siddur, if it's not inappropriate, I asked for a Nusach Edot haMizrach, because I would also like to have a Sfaradi perspective even if I'm 90% sure my congregation is Ashkenazi?

no, i want to get a physical siddur but i don't know what website is best?

Ohhhh. You want to know the best website to buy a siddur?? That was not clear so my apologies. I’m realizing now my confusion over you saying “to be a siddur” probably was meant to be “to buy a siddur”? This makes so much more sense now.

Definitely refer to my previous answer re: narrowing down the *type* of siddur you want.

MyJewishLearning would be a good starting point:

How to Choose a Siddur, or Jewish Prayer Book | My Jewish Learning

Choosing a Siddur. Jewish Prayer Book. Jewish Liturgical Texts. Jewish Prayerbooks. Jewish Texts.

Then I’d go onto any of the judaica websites. Google “judaica siddur” and there will be so many options.

I’ll leave this in the jumblr tag too for anyone with specific input. I’ve always been blessed enough to visit a judaica store for any of my texts so I’m interested to hear which one of the online stores people prefer.

Gut Shabbos! Logging off for the night! xx

For background: my synagogue is nondenominational, but the Shabbat service is quite traditional. There is a prayer book provided to everyone for the service but I can't remember what it was called off the top of my head. It had Hebrew, English, transliteration and some commentary.

I need to practice קבע prayer at home, and I love the thrill of buying books so I'm too impatient to ask for my Rabbi's advice lol (she'd probably advise me to pick whichever one I felt the most affinity toward anyway). I know these four correspond to Movements, and I have some vague idea of which Movement speaks the most to me, but obviously I don't know enough, and I'm part of a congregation that doesn't put much stock in Movements to begin with.

Also, to those of you who own any of these, feel free to tell me how good the translations and commentary are, advocate for your favorite siddur. Oh and they all cost around the same for a "Weekend and Holiday" edition hard cover/flexicover, so that's not an issue.
