Classic Pocket-Size Hebrew Siddur in Brown #294

The brown cover of the classic Malchut siddur, design #294. Brown is the most conventional of the three finishes this siddur comes in and the one that looks least like a product and most like a sefer. The design is modern and unornamented — no embroidery, no applied trim, just a clean bound cover.

604 pages in a 4.75 by 3.5 inch format. That page count means it is a full siddur, not an abridged pocket edition; it is simply set small. Nusach is your choice, Ashkenaz or Sefard, selected when you order.

The practical case for a siddur this size is that it gets used. A siddur living in a jacket pocket is the one you have on you at mincha when the minyan turns out to be somewhere unexpected, and a pocket siddur holding the full text means nothing gets skipped. It is a sensible thing to buy in twos — one for the car, one for the desk — and a common item to give a bochur heading to yeshiva or a chosson setting up a house.
