Siddur update

No pictures yet, but prototype three is constructed. A few glitches along the way -- I need to study better how the hinges work because I ended up with the front endpaper gapping when the book is open. But it feels good in the hand and overall I'm pleased with the appearance.

In related news, I have finally after many years (and at the urging of Andrew Wiener of Catering by Andrew) made up Hoshana cards -- that is, the words of all the hoshanot prayers on a 4"-wide 11"-tall card that can be conveniently held while also holding the arba minim and marching around the shul. These are two-up; print the file double-sided, cut it in half lengthwise, and laminate if you wish. Please let me know if you find any errors and feel free to forward the link to anyone else you think would want it.

Ooh, good idea about the cards!

I think you're missing the 5th day of chol hamoed, and are off by one day for the others ;-).

Question -- when Moshiach comes, will we go back to waving species on Shabbat? Even then, I suppose we wouldn't need to say Hoshanot if we are already redeemed. So I guess you are off the hook for trying to squeeze in the Shabbat Hoshanot... |-)

Seriously, these look great!

Also, if you really do want to make a more Israeli-friendly version, in addition to adjusting the chol hamoed naming (perhaps you could do what Rinat Israel does and just say "1st day" "2nd day" "3rd day", etc. not specifying Yom Tov or CH"M), would it be difficult to format it for A4? (I actually have a couple of reams of 8.5x11 paper around, so it isn't crucial for me, but I haven't found a source here yet for that size). Hmm. Should we call this an Iחיn request?

Very cool!

Hi,

I noticed that for אדון המושיע you have it labelled as "Fourth day chol hamoed (Thursday or Sunday), but according to Rinat, you would also say it on Tuesday (or more concisely, "Fourth day (except Shabbat)").

Of course, for the E"Y version, it would be "Fifth day except Shabbat"...

Chag Sameach!
