The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor, nusah Ashkenaz is a prayer book with translation and commentary by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor is a companion to the Koren Sacks Rosh Hashana Mahzor, and one volume among a growing body of work produced by the celebrated Koren-Sacks partnership.
The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor marries the sophisticated graphic approach for which Koren Publishers Jerusalem is renowned with the insight and eloquence of Rabbi Sacks, one of today’s leading Jewish thinkers. The Koren Sacks Yom Kippur Mahzor brings out the inner meaning of the Yom Kippur prayers by aligning the Hebrew and English texts, highlighting key words, distinguishing poetry from prose, and using beautiful fonts designed by master typographer Eliyahu Koren. Rabbi Sacks translation brings readers closer than ever before to the authentic meaning of the Hebrew text, while his introduction and commentary provide new ways of understanding and experiencing the Yom Kippur service.
A beautiful machzor for a meaningful Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is sometimes a tough day to get through– the long fast, saying Yizkor for a loved one, reciting the Matyrology. Yet, it’s still a beautiful day, full of the promise of G-d’s forgiveness.

Very nice Machzor I am used to Artscroll, but it wasn’t with me this year and instead of buying more of the same, I wanted to see what Rabbi Sacks had to say. I’ve read other things by him and have been very impressed with his sensitivity to those who may not be super religious, as well as his thoughtful insights. His comments induce one to think and reflect and consider. Isn’t that one of the purposes of this unique day?I do have a problem with the layout: I am used to using a Hebrew religious text…
brilliant insights As a rabbi, I have many, many books on Yom Kippur. This one is quite out of the ordinary. Rabbi Sacks brings out insight after insight. Did you know that Judaism was the first philosphy-religion to have a concept of forgiveness? Did you know that there is a difference between atonement and tschuva (return)? The Introduction (about 75 pages) is alone worth the price of the book. I don’t always agree with the Rabbi but I found this fascinating. Buy it. it will make your Yom Kippur much more…
