This companion book has page-number references to both the 1985 and 2002 Sim Shalom editions. It is similar to HPLS Volume 1 but specifically designed and intended for users of Siddur Sim Shalom.
It includes all the material in the transliterated HPLS Siddur, Volume 1, without the Nusach Sefard and Nusach HaAri (Chabad) prayers. Some traditional passages that are not in Siddur Sim Shalom have been included in the HPLS Phonetic Transliterated Sim Shalom Siddur, thus making the siddur compatible with other siddurim.
Weekday Mincha-Maariv (Afternoon-Evening) Siddur.
Afternoon Service (Mincha)
This section starts with Psalm 145, which is referred to as Ashrei (AhshRay). The service then continues with the Silent Prayer for weekdays. The silent prayer is also referred to as the Sh'mohNeh EhsReh, which means 18, representing the original 18 benedictions of the prayer. It is also referred to as the Amidah (Ah'meeDah), which means standing because the prayer is said standing.
Basic instructions regarding customs of proper prayer are included throughout the HPLS siddur. The HPLS siddur contains the complete transliteration of the silent prayer. Transliterated passages are also included for Chanukah, Purim, for Rosh Chodesh (the day of the new moon), and for the intermediate days (Chol HahMohEhd) of the Pilgrimage Holidays of Passover and Succoth.
With a quorum of 10 present, the silent prayer is repeated by the chazen, who is also referred to as the Sh'leeAhch TzeeBoor (public messenger). The Sh'leeAhchTzeeBoor adds the KahDooShah prayer, which is said aloud by him and the congregants. After the silent prayer, a Tachanun (supplication) prayer is said, except on festive days. The afternoon service concludes with the closing prayer Aleinu (AhLayNoo), and the Mourners' Kaddish.
Evening Service (Maariv)
This section contains the complete evening service for weekdays.
The evening prayer formally starts with V'hoo RahChoom and the BahR'choo, which is the public bowing to God. The Shema Yisrael prayer is introduced by two blessings: HahMahAh'reev Ah'rahVeem and AhHah'vaht OhLahm. The HPLS siddur contains the complete transliterations for both these prayers. The Shema Yisrael (Sh'mah YisRahEhl) and the three paragraphs associated with it are then said, followed by two closing benedictions: Eh'meht (for redemption) and HahshKeeVehNoo (for protection).
The service then continues with the silent prayer, which is the same prayer said for the afternoon service, excluding the KahDooShah prayer, which is not said at night.
The siddur also contains additional prayers, including:
Prayers for the conclusion of the Sabbath,
Counting of the Omer (said between Passover and Shavuot),
Psalm 27 (said from Elul to 7th day of Succoth),
Psalm 49 (said during the Shivah period, which is the first 7 days in a house of mourning),
Havdallah - separation prayer for the conclusion of the Sabbath.
The evening service concludes with Aleinu and the Mourners' Kaddish.
