COMPLETE
KOREN MAGERMAN
EDUCATIONAL SIDDUR SERIES

TEFILLA EDUCATION FOR

REFLECTION, CONNECTION, AND LEARNING
 A REVOLUTION IN
TEFILLA EDUCATION
The Koren Magerman Educational Siddur Series consists of four siddurim
that represent a refreshing, innovative approach to tefilla education in
the school, home and synagogue. Each siddur is appropriately designed
for the different developmental stages of the day school journey and
beyond. With a wealth of educational elements on every single page,
the Koren Magerman Educational Siddurim create a meaningful prayer
experience for every student.
The series serves as a tool to encourage and facilitate childrens en-
gagement in tefilla both cognitively and emotionally, ultimately leading
to a meaningful tefilla experience for life.

I've drifted away from being a model
of the 'joy and warmth of davening'...
I am
convinced that one
of the reasons that middle
and high school pupils develop
negative attitudes towards tefilla
is that they lack any cognitive
preparation for prayer.

I often feel
that tefilla is the most
exhausting part of my day.
I'm concerned that
I have turned into a warden...
- Anonymous Day School

One of the
frustrations of day school
education is that there are not
always opportunities to talk about
God in a natural and organic way, yet
every morning in countless schools, a
major opportunity presents itself.

THE EVOLUTION OF
THE TEFILLA EXPERIENCE
with the Koren Magerman Educational Siddur Series
Each siddur is both a conventional siddur and an educational resource. Used
consecutively, the series helps students develop a meaningful connection to God
intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. All content gradually progresses as the
child's cognition develops from simple and concrete to abstract and sophisticated.

Using Birkot HaShah.ar as a case study,

we can clearly see the evolution of the tefilla experience:
