There are also typed digital versions of the book’s chapters, but they require substantial corrections and updates. I hope to make them available, as time goes on, within an online digital platform that will allow for links to sources, discussion, and ongoing improvements. To do so will require labor—editing, proofreading, checking and linking sources, etc.—so anyone who would like to help make that project a reality is welcome to contact me.
I would like to express my gratitude to Aharon Varady (of the Open Siddur Project) for scanning the book professionally, to Rabbi Hillel Novetsky (of Alhatorah.org) who put me in touch with people who gave helpful advice about getting back the publication rights, and to the publisher for agreeing to revert back the rights.

- If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.
