The Koren Siddur

The Jewish prayer book in the celebrated Sacks translation — where gratitude is not discussed but performed, starting with the first words a practising Jew says on waking: Modeh Ani, "I give thanks before You." Goodreads 4.72.

The Koren Sacks Siddur is cited as the Jewish tradition’s gratitude practice in its native form: a daily liturgy that opens with thanks on waking and is structured around blessings that name specific goods. For this directory it is the primary evidence that in Judaism, gratitude is scheduled.

What this book does not show
