Lovely edition of a Chumash in Hebrew with Latin references.

A Jewish Book of Common Prayer, Shabbat Eve Service

Done in two parts, Raphael gives the background of the prayer book and the full Shabbat Evening Service.

A Sephardic Passover Haggaddah

Lovely little paperback Haggaddah, which while an ancient Jewish experience, is also a contemporary experience. This book reflects that. It is, like Torah commentary, a growing and changing document. This encourages discussion and engagement in the Seder ritual. Nice to see as a contrast to the usual Askenazi Haggaddah format; we complement each other.

Bible (with New Testament) in English

English translation from the Jehovah Witnesses group which makes this English version of The Bible good for general use in particular Christian sects but must be read with caution as it is bent towards a Christian (Jehovah's Witnesses) interpretation of the original Hebrew. There is a difference!

Biblia Hebraica (German)

Written in German and Hebrew this tanakh (at least the Hebrew) is a clear copy of Torah and the prophets and the writings.

Chumas, 5 volumes

Given to the late Jack Abel who was awarded the Eli Belovitch Memorial Prize form the Manchester Talmudic College in Seymour Road (year?) for his studies there., this five-volume Chumash must have held a very special place in his heart. The books contain detailed commentaries by Rashi and others and would be of interest to the Talmudic scholar.

Chumash (all in Hebrew)

Wonderful Churmash compacted in to a tiny volume to take in one's pocket and read on the way.

Complete Jewish Bible

Translated by D. Stern, a Jews for Jesus advocate, this text includes the 'old and new testaments' so there is a Christian slant to the text.

Daily Prayerbook

Accessible commentary to the daily prayerbook by R. Sacks for the United Hebrew Congregations (Orthodox).

Draft edition of Erev Rosh HaShanah Machzor

New draft form of Machzor being written, edited and organised by MRJ with transliteration, which is easily accessible and user friendly but traditional as well. This draft is for the Erev Rosh HaShannah. Explanatory notes at the bottom of pages inform the congregant of the importance of the particular prayers on that page and give insight into the service. The format is similar to the new sidderim and is particularly helpful to those people who are informed, those who are not, and those whose Hebrew may need a little help. Sensitive upgrading of the Machzor.

Festival Prayers-Vol 1-Rosh Hashanah

Beautifully put together Machzor for the new year.

Forms of Prayer for Jewish Worship-Daily, Sabbath, and Occasional Prayers

Reform daily prayerbook (siddur) used until three years ago in all Reform Synagogues.

Israeli Siddur01973

All in Hebrew, very small print and very hard to follow. Prayerbook to be read with a magnifying glass.

Kabbalah, the way of the Jewish mystic

Basic text which explains some of the principles of Kabbalah, the various aspects of this mystic approach to connecting with G_d, from the cultivation of Awe, paths of spheres and letters and the ultimate path of ecstasy.

Liberal Jewish Prayer Book, Vol.II the Days of Memorial and the Day of Atonement

Originally published in 1923, this machzor is lovingly translated and put together for the high holy days.

Machzor (Mahor-Day of Atonement (Philips)

Wonderful, orthodox prayerbook from the early 1930's with classical translation.

Machzor for Pesach

Interesting copy of Machzor probably brought over by a Polish refugee (just prior to the war?) which was printed in Poland. Looks old and must have a history behind it.

Machzor-Day of Atonement-Vol II

Second part of the machzor for Yom Kippur. Beautiful edition.

Machzor, Yom Kippur

Old text; Yom Kippur Text. Hebrew only.
