Last month, the fine folks over at Tribe, the Young United Synagogue in the UK, republished Siddur Shevet Asher (aka the Chief Rabbi’s Children’s Siddur) for children ages 8 – 12 (it was originally published 15 years ago). The new edition takes into consideration the affect of color blindness on children, and includes a new section on festivals to account for the fact that many communities are unable to afford a siddur and a machzor for the High Holidays. Read more about the siddur here and click here to download a sample. (Note: Vallentine Mitchell is distributing Siddur Shevet Asher in the US.)
