If so, which one?
I picked up the Koren Hebrew/English Siddur a couple of days ago, and it's pretty awesome. I don't use all to the prayers in my devotions, but I like to use the long version of the Shma' and the Amida sometimes. There is a lot of great stuff in there.
Naturally, nothing about Jesus. It would be great to see someone put together a Messianic Siddur.

We use Greenburg's Messianic Siddur for our Sabbath worship. He also has a Machzur see www.messianicliturgy.comThere are a number of independently developed siddurim. I have my own creation that is somewhat of a crossover so that Christian folk (or people who have little familiarity with Hebrew) may experience it see www.youtube.com/markstaneart Tim Hegg at www.torahresource.com has had one for some time and I thing First Fruits of Zion www.ffoz.org has just finished developing theirs. As far as the daily prayers, I have put together a cheap booklet for those interested and can probably e-mail you a copy; but, in Israel, surrounded by what you have available it would probably be an embarrassment to haveout in public. You have to understand that from Lebanon, Oregon I have to drive at least 30 minutes to find a store that sells Hanukkah candles in December. Hebraic resources are not easy to come by and right now the unemployment rate is about 12%. So we make what we can to be a service to those around us as much as we can. You would probably enjoy the site www.hebrew4christians.com This fellow has done a lot of very good work to offer the Hebraic perspective in Christian worship; however, he has not come so far as to admit that "transgression of  is sin" (1st John 3:4) though I've noticed that he's removed statements from his work that opposes Christian observance. |

Hmm. Thanks for the info. I'll look around and see what's out there. Right now, I'm actually using both an Orthodox Siddur and an Anglican prayer book in my personal devotions.
By the way, I wouldn't be ashamed at all to have your prayer book. I'm not too worried about that kind of thing. At any rate, I do my personal prayers privately (ie: 'go into your room and close the door'), so it's not like anyone would see it but me. I'll look at the sites you mention and ask around here.
PS. I already know Hebrew. I've studied four semesters of Classical in my undergrad, and one Semester of modern. I have three more semesters of Classical ahead of me at here that the Hebrew U, and five more of Modern. I'm not always the best self-studier, so I think I'll leave my continuing Hebrew education in the hands of the pros.
