[HANASHIR:5841] Re: Translation of Hebrew Prayers

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Rachelle,

The problem with dictionaries is that they're Ben Yehuda's Hebrew - modern, not liturgical.  The work I would recommend is the Artscroll Interlinear Siddur, as the translations are pretty literal and tightly coupled with the Hebrew phrasing.  It's not an answer book; rather, it's a good resource for one to "figure out" without too much effort what each word or phrase means.

Moadim l'simcha,
Andy
