Mishkan HaNefesh: Yom Kippur: Machzor for the Days of Awe [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

Second volume in a strange pair of books. There are common themes that repeat in changing cycles that seem to be related to day/night. One third of each book is written in an impenetrable strange set of symbols (code?), another third is written in English letters, but the words sound strange. There is meaningless art that seemed to have been picked so that no once can object to it scattered throughout. The plot, if you can say there is one, seems depressing. It’s some sort of stream of conciseness writing, like James Joyce but less accessible. The Silver (second) volume leaves you, strangely with a much more depressing feeling while the Gold (first) volume is more hopeful.

As with my comments on the Machzor for Rosh Hashanah, I purchased the Kindle version of the Yom Kippur Machzor so that I could adjust the lighting and font size during the service on either my tablet or my iPad. As a Jew-by-Choice, the transliterations directly opposite the Hebrew help me when I stumble over the Hebrew and the English translations are more true to the Hebrew than in previous Reform Machzorim. I also find the topical guide (or Table of Contents) on the right margin helpful in navigating the service as the layout is different from previous Machzorim I have used. The commentaries and reference materials included are informative and enjoyable and add to the holiday kavanah.

This prayer book is well set out with excellent translations and commentaries.

Virtual services for Yom Kippur

All the traditional prayers are supplemented with prayers, poetry, and meditations that fit our modern world. Plenty to fill the day.

We used the book for Yom Kippur service. Very happy with download. Easy to use and go from page to page. The fact that you can enlarge the print to be able to see better is very helpful

y wife is partially blind and has great difficulty reading the printed version and keeping with services or even just exploring. The electronic copy can be enlarged making it much easier for her to read. I'd recommend this to anyone

This is a fairly new prayer book for the Jewish High Holy Days. My 10th Generation Kindle (2021) purchased in November 2021, cannot display the book, published in 2015. After consulting with an Amazon customer service consultant, I learned that it is simply incompatible with the device I bought last year. Buyer beware. Check compatible devices before purchasing an Amazon Kindle book.

Quizás lo único que no me gusta de las versiones digitales es que está dispuesta la encuadernación como libros del ámbito "Común" y no en el ámbito Hebreo. (De izquierda a derecha)

A lot of pretty poems & some better orthodox prayer. The PDF format is also terrible. Very small print & and a lot of unused blank area on each page. To make it readable, you need to read it on a 10" tablet in Landscape Mode.
