מחזור לראש השנה ויום כיפור Majzor para Rosh haShanah y Yom Kipur (1967) is a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish prayerbook for the Yamim Noraïm compiled and translated by Rabbi Marcos Edery z”l, and published by the World Council of [Conservative/Masorti] Synagogues under the supervision of Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer (1930-1993). Rabbi Reubén Nisembom (1938-2023), then a student at the Seminario Rabínico Latinoamericano, proofread the maḥzor.

מַחֲזוֹר לְיוֹם כִּפּוּר Majzor leYom Kipur (Mexico: 1972) is the second edition of a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish nusaḥ Sefaradi Yom Kippur prayerbook compiled and translated by Rabbi Meir Matsliaḥ Melamed (1920-1989), first published in 1968. (This “second edition” appears to be more of a “second printing” than an update or revision of the first edition.) As no Hebrew type with vocalization and cantillation marks was available to Rabbi Melamed at the time, liturgy was reproduced from images of older siddurim. Rabbi Melamed’s translation appears to the sides of these images and his commentary underneath. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):
מחזור ליום כיפור Majzor para Iom Kipur (1969) is a bilingual Hebrew-Spanish prayerbook for Rosh haShanah compiled and translated by Rabbi Mordechai Edery (1928-2010) and published by the World Council of [Conservative/Masorti] Synagogues under the supervision of Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer (1930-1993). The Hebrew sourcetext is based primarily on the S&P siddurim compiled and translated by Rabbi Dr. David de Sola Pool. Other prayerbooks prepared with the Conservative movement represented mainly the Ashkenazi liturgical tradition. This maḥzor and its companion volume for Rosh haShanah are the only prayerbooks prepared for Sefaradi congregations by Conservative movement institutions (that we know of).

This is a complete* Jewish Renewal/Reconstructionist Machzor for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, primarily influenced by the davennin of Reb Zalman and the Aquarian Minyan. All text in English is gender-neutral. All Hebrew prayers are accompanied by transliteration. Material for Shabbat is at the back of the book. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur prayers are combined (so some pages need to be skipped depending), but there should be a minimum of flipping back and forth. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):
