Title: The Mahzor of my childhood
Product review: If I am not mistaken Birnbaum was the Mahzor for the High Holidays in most Orthodox congregations at the time I was growing up . Thus it was in use at the Shaare Tefillah Synagogue in Troy New York where for many years Rabbi Jacob S. Cohen presided over the High Holiday Prayers.I remember the special feeling of sanctity the Mahzor always gave. And along with the awe at the Hebrew letters the mysterious meanings often felt he seeking to understand by reading the English.I suspect Birnbaum is replaced by ArtScroll in most Shuls today.But my heart and memory is with the Birnbaum.PS The title has a mistake in it. It should be 'Rosh Hoshanah' and not as written there.
