Ḥayyim Alter Segal  Ḥayyim Alter SegalHyman Alter Segal (חיים אלטר סג״ל; 1896-1970) was an editor for the Hebrew Publishing Company from the 1920s till the day of his death on 1 January 1970. He was acknowledged by Paltiel Birnbaum among the editors of Ha-Siddur Ha-Shalem (1949). Segal arranged the Siddur Tifereth David (1951), containing the first English translation of a "Sefard" (Ḥasidic) prayerbook for American Jewry. In 1955, HPB published the maḥzor he compiled for Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur, Maḥzor Ḳol Yisrael. HPB also published a luaḥ (date calendar) he arranged for the years 1960-2116. Born in Hungary, he made his way sometime in the 1910s to Erets Yisrael where he studied in the yeshivah of Rav Quq and married Sheyna Rabinowitz. In the early 1920s, he came to the United States where he began working for the Hebrew Publishing Company. In 1962, he was assaulted in Crown Heights and left in a coma for five days before recovering. He is remembered with love by his grandchildren. (We would like to know more about Hyman Alter Segal.
