I'd like to request that Accordance explore acquiring a Hebrew-English Siddur (Jewish Prayer book for Shabbat & Holidays).  The current module, Jewish prayers, only has a few of those used on Shabbat and Holidays. There are electronic ones available. Thanks so much

  Thanks for the feedback! Do you prefer the one from Koren or ArtScroll?

  Artscroll! It is so popular due to its elaborate illustrations.  However, I don't like its translation of “God” as “Hashem”. Most Jews do NOT say “hashem” except the ultra orthodox and chabad. Koren, on the other hand, I've only seen a Hebrew text. We really need bilingual edition. The CCAR press (Reform Judaism) has a bilingual electronic text but they take huge liberties with the translation, unlike Koren and Artscroll. The USCJ, conservative Jewish siddur, might be the best one to use. 

  The more important issue is which publisher will extend a license to accordance for a Hebrew-English text. Some publishers are Hebrew only.

  Thanks! I've had my hands on Hebrew-English print volumes from both Koren and ArtScroll, so I am familar with either.

     I second the idea of Accordance acquiring a Siddur. However, being that Artscroll, Mesorah Publications Ltd. is Haredi (ultra-orthodox) and Koren Modern Orthodox, I highly doubt that either one of them is going to willingly license their products to Accordance.

     Currently since Accordance has a growing relationship with Sefaria I would recommend trying to get them to license one of their English-Hebrew Siddurim.

  We could check with Sefaria. Thanks!
