I switched to it as my daily siddur. <BR/><BR/>(I had been using the previous siddur by another publisher for 20+ years. As an American, davening for the royal family of England isn't a priority, but the siddur is a joy to use. The typeset is elegant and beautiful, too. It has quomatz hakatan and gadol as two distinct characters, which is as useful to me as a pocket-knife: I didn't know I needed it until I had it, and then found it indispensable.)<BR/><BR/>I had the privilege of hearing him speak at our school a few years ago, just as "Dignity of Difference" was published. <BR/><BR/>What a treat! He was just as engaging and compelling in person as he is in print.Juggling Frogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572259373523756647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-17353737224528937992007-08-01T09:05:00.000-04:002007-08-01T09:05:00.000-04:00There is a Migadim article that says something sim...There is a Migadim article that says something similar, but with less flowerly language and more rigorous analysis of the pesukim. I don't have it in front of me, but it must be from 10 to 15 years ago. IIRC, Migadim journals are now available via the hebrew Gush site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
