All six volumes of the HPLS Siddur (prayer book) can be used for both the Orthodox and Conservative Ashkenaz Prayer Services.
Prayers are included for the Nusach Ashkenaz, Nusach HaAri (Chabad), and Nusach Sefard versions of the service.
The HPLS format makes the service variations easy to follow.
Contains all the prayers for the weekday morning service.
The order of the morning service can take many paths depending upon the day of the year, and the particular nusach that you follow (Sefard, Ashkenaz, or HaAri)
To make the service easier to follow, flow charts are included in this Volume to guide you through the differences between the three nusachim.
The HPLS Siddur Volume 2 is arranged into the following four parts:
Part 1, Preliminary Morning Prayers.
Some say the preliminary morning prayers at home before going to synagogue. The first prayer is MohDeh Ah'nee (I thank). This prayer doesn't mention God's name and some say it even while in bed. The preliminary morning prayers continue with the Ah'sher YahTzahr blessing (said after going to the bathroom), the N'teeLaht YahDahYim blessing (said after washing of the hands), and the meditation and blessings for putting on the Tallis and Tefillin. The order of the prayers so far is different between the three nucachim and the differences are clearly noted in the siddur. The preliminary prayers continue with the songs Ah'dohn OhLahm and YeegDahl, the 15 Morning Blessings (B'rahChoht), the Ah'kehDah (binding of Isaac) and the remainder of the temple prayers. The Preliminary Morning Prayers section concludes with the Rabbi's Mourners' Kaddish.
Note: To guide the reader to the key passages and thereby make participation in the synagogue service easy, this volume, like all the others, is also written in a hybrid style. About 80 percent of the passages are word-for-word interlinear text, and the remaining passages (selected passages that are usually said silently, except for the Amidah, which is always fully transliterated) are in two-column format, with only the first and last section of each prayer transliterated.

Part 2, Verses of Praise (P'sooKay D'zeemRah).
The Verses of Praise section is designed to get the worshiper ready for the main prayer. The order of the Verses of Praise section differs slightly between the three Nusachim. The differences between Nusachim are noted accordingly.
For Nusach Ashkenaz, the order is as follows: Psalm 30, Mourners' Kaddish, BahRooch ShehAhMahr (opening blessing to P'sooKay D'zeemRah), HohDoo (1 Chronicles 16:8-36), Psalm 100, Ashrei (Psalm 145), Psalm 146, Psalm 147, Psalm 148, Psalm 149, Psalm 150, VahY'vahRehch DahVeed through YeeshTahBahch, and Psalm 130.
Similar prayers are included for the other two nusachim.
Part 3, Shacharit (ShahChah'reet).
Although Shacharit usually applies to the whole Morning Service, this part of Volume 2 is referred to as Shacharit to distinguish it from the Preliminary Morning Prayers and Verses of Praise sections. Shacharit is actually the Morning Prayer. The Shacharit section is almost completely transliterated and consists of the following: Barchu (BahR'choo) the Shema (Sh'mah YisRahEhl) and associated preliminary and concluding blessings, the Weekday Silent Prayer (Ah'meeDah), the Tachanun (TahChah'noon) Supplication. Like the afternoon service, with a quorum of 10 present, the silent prayer is repeated by the chazen (Sh'leeAhch TzeeBoor, or public messenger). The Sh'leeAhch TzeeBoor adds the KahDooShah prayer, which is said aloud by him and the congregants.
The Shacharit section continues with the Concluding Morning Prayers:
Ashrei,
Psalm 20,
OohVahL'tzeeYohn,
V'ahTah KahDohsh,
Psalm of the day,
HohSheeAyNoo (Nusach Sefard Daily addition to Psalm of the Day),
Psalm 27 (said from Elul to 7th day of Succoth),
Psalm 49 (said in a house of mourning,
HahMahKohm Y'nahChehm (said to the mourner during the shivah),
Aleinu (AhLayNoo), and the
Mourners' Kaddish.
Part 4, Supplement. This section contains additional morning prayers and consists of the following sections:
A: Hallel.This psalm section is said for the New Moon (Rosh ChohDehsh), Chanukah, and the intermediate days (Chohl HahMohEhd) of the three Pilgrimage Festivals. Psalm 104 (also referred to as BahRchee NahfShee), is added during the Rosh ChohDehsh (new moon) service.
B: Torah Service.
C: Musaf for Rosh ChohDehsh.
D: Musaf for Chohl HahMohEhd.
E: This section contains additional selections for Nusach Sefard, including: Psalm 86, Isaiah 2:5, Micah 4:5, I Kings 8:57-60, Psalm 124, KahVeh, Ayn KehLohHayNoo.
Volume 2 concludes with Aleinu and the Mourners' Kaddish.
