Comic Book Siddur: For Shabbat Morning Services

The Jewish Siddur naturally lends itself to a being a superhero narrative. So why not envision our prayerbook as a superhero story, so that you will better learn and understand it?

The Comic Book Siddur is both a functional prayerbook and graphic novel rolled into one. The Shabbat morning service re-imagined as a superhero quest story. Contains all the prayers (for a Reform Service) in easy-to-read 24 point Hebrew font. Snappy "comic speak" english translations (in word balloons) spoken by a minyan of muscular super heroes as they fight their way to the bima to do an aliya.
