Mas'as Kappai On Tefillah Vol. 12

Enlightening comments on the daily, Sabbath and Festival services: twelve volumes in, and the siddur is still yielding material.

A twelfth volume tells you something about the sefer before you open it. Rabbi David Cohen has kept returning to tefillah over many volumes, and the accumulated result is a shelf that can be consulted the way you would consult a commentary, phrase by phrase, across the weekday, Shabbos and Yom Tov services.

This installment carries 168 hardcover pages. For a reader who already owns earlier volumes it is the obvious next purchase; for someone receiving it as a gift it works on its own, since each comment stands independently and nothing here depends on having read what came before.

The 6 by 9 inch hardcover matches the rest of the series, so the run lines up on a shelf. It is a well-judged gift for a son-in-law, a chavrusa, or anyone whose davening you would like to give a little more depth to. Free shipping over $75 at Judaica Square.
