While sometimes serving a broad and diverse Jewish population, these prayerbooks also often express formulations of sectarian or denominational pluralism unique to their historical and regional contexts.

Routtenberg are credited for their editorial work in preparing the manuscript of the siddur in the Acknowledgments section. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):
