Ha-Siddur Ha-Shalem (The Complete Daily Prayer Book, 1949)
"Ha-Siddur Ha-Shalem" is a comprehensive prayer book (siddur) for weekdays, Shabbat, and festivals, translated and annotated with an introduction by Paltiel (Philip) Birnbaum. First published in 1949 by the Hebrew Publishing Company, this siddur follows the liturgical customs (nusaḥ) of Ashkenaz. It has been widely used in Orthodox and Conservative synagogues until the late 1980s. The siddur includes Hebrew text alongside English translations, making it accessible for both Hebrew speakers and those who are more comfortable with English. This edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Jewish prayer and liturgy, offering a deep connection to traditional Jewish worship practices.
