On 13 May 18967, Joseph Ezekiel Rajpurkar offered this prayer in Hebrew with translations in Marathi and English, on behalf of the congregation of the Gates of Prayer Synagogue (Bombay/Mumbai), for the 100th anniversary of the synagogue’s founding in 1796. This is the Hebrew text of a teḥinah for Shalom Aleikhem intended for women lighting candles on the commencement of Shabbat and festival days as found on the last page in the Basel edition of the [collection of prayers entitled] Birkhat ha-Mazon (Basel: Waldkirch, 1600). The English translation is by Rabbi Dr. Morris M. Faierstein as published in “An Early Modern Version of Shalom Aleichem for Women after Friday Candle Lighting” in Women in Judaism, 19(2), on page 4.
