Siddur Lev Shalem (Excerpts)The Rabbinical AssemblyAshkenazPARTIAL — this dataset covers only printed pages 98-212: Shabbat and Festival morning service and Musaf. No weekday services, no Kabbalat Shabbat, no Shabbat Minḥah, no Havdalah. Cross-siddur weekday rows will be null for this book by design, not by omission.Single pages; printPages are the printed siddur numbers.
Siddur Tehillat Hashem, Weiss EditionMerkos / WeissChabadcompleteFACING PAGE-PAIRS — printPages advance in twos (Hebrew verso / English recto). A '192-209' range is ~9 openings, not 18 distinct pages of text.
Siddur Tehillat Hashem, Annotated EditionKehot Publication SocietyChabadcompleteSingle pages; the most finely itemized of the four — many topics resolve to one printed page, which makes it the best cross-reference spine for section boundaries.

Editorial notes on the data

mediumbooks[lev-shalem].pageCount

95 pages covering printed pp. 98-212 — Shabbat and Festival MORNING and Musaf only. The record does not signal that this is an excerpt rather than a complete siddur.

Add a scope or coverage field. Consumers cross-referencing services will otherwise read the missing weekday and Minḥah rows as data gaps.

mediumtoc[].section

Section labels collide across near-duplicate spellings that split one liturgical unit into two TOC sections — Koren has both 'Ma'ariv for Weekdays' and 'Maariv for Weekdays', both 'Shaharit for Shabbat and Yom Tov' and 'Shaharit for Shabbat'; the apostrophe variants are typographic (U+2019 vs ASCII), and the page ranges interleave rather than nest (e.g. Ma'ariv 266-269 + 396-407 vs Maariv 270-303).

Normalize apostrophes and add a stable serviceId so interleaved sections resolve to one service.

lowtopics[].topic

Several Weiss topics have empty-string topic names (e.g. 146-153, 214-215, 240-245, 262-269, 304-307) and null hebrewTopic across most of the book after p. 160.

Backfill from the printed headers; empty titles break any TOC rendering.

lowpagination

printPages semantics differ between books — Weiss and Koren are facing page-pairs, Lev Shalem and the Annotated edition are single pages — but nothing in the schema declares this.

Add pageBasis: 'pair' | 'single' at book level.

Open questions

  • Does Lev Shalem print 'she-lo asanu ke-goyei ha-aratzot' in Aleinu? Sim Shalom removed it; Lev Shalem's editorial posture is restorative. Not confirmable from a first-tier source — check the printed page.
  • The exact Chabad rule for which Shabbatot Av HaRaḥamim is said. It is in the siddur; the rule was not confirmable from chabad.org.
  • Whether HaNoten Teshuah (prayer for the government) is printed in Tehillat Hashem at all.
  • Whether Chabad prints Tzur Yisrael and Mizmor L'David / Etz Ḥayim Hi at the Torah's return — one secondary source claims omission, uncorroborated.
  • Priority of semikhat ge'ulah li-tefillah vs. tefillah be-tzibbur at Shaḥarit: the ruling given follows Shulḥan Arukh HaRav; some poskim prioritize tefillah be-tzibbur in both services.
