ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Jon Epstein, Mike Frankl, Andrew Gilbert, Debbie Jacobs, Larry Ross and Robert Shrager. All practical and administrative matters, including researching copyright materials, were undertaken by Sylvia Morris. IT support throughout was undertaken by Marc Ozin. We are sad to record the death of Ian Spinks who undertook the printing of the many early draft versions. Proofreading of the Hebrew at different stages was undertaken by Rabbis Colin Eimer, Paul Freedman, Amanda Golby, Charles H. Middleburgh, Sammy Pereira, Reuven Silverman, Student Rabbi Yuval Keren, and Dr Annette Boeckler, while the English was examined by Brian Humphreys and Dr John Bowden, to whom additional thanks are due for his practical advice throughout on all matters to do with publishing. The extraordinary task of creating a layout that could incorporate the Hebrew and English text, transliteration and commentary fell to Marc Michaels without whom the present volume could not have been produced. In addition he designed the numerous section headings, icons and other aids that ensure continuity and ease of use of the services. Each of the sections that make up the Siddur went through up to twenty sets of corrections and revisions under his patient guidance and practical care. Various individuals viewed the contents and made important suggestions and corrections, including Dr Jeremy Schonfield. Pre–eminent amongst them is Dr Eric Friedland, whose knowledge of traditional and progressive Jewish liturgies and sensitivity to the parameters of innovation helped shape the final version. The artists that we approached were extremely generous in their willingness to offer existing artistic materials and create new ones for the Siddur . Their names are recorded in the List of Artists. The Movement for Reform Judaism is grateful for the considerable care taken by Jongbloed bv in the complex task of printing this Siddur .
