Gebete in Kriegszeit für isralitische Frauen und Madchen (1914) by Rabbi Dr. Max Grunwald is a collection of five teḥinot compiled for the use of German-Jewish women gravely concerned for the well-being of their husbands, fathers, and sons serving as military personnel during what became known as World War Ⅰ.

This work is in the Public Domain due to its having been published more than 95 years ago.

This work was scanned by Aharon Varady for the Open Siddur Project from a volume held in the collection of the HUC Klau Library, Cincinnati, Ohio. (Thank you!) This work is cross-posted to the Internet Archive, as a repository for our transcription efforts.

Scanning this work (making digital images of each page) is the first step in a more comprehensive project of transcribing each prayer and associating it with its translation. You are invited to participate in this collaborative transcription effort!

In the absence of a table of contents for this short collection, I have prepared one below in order that we may link forthcoming transcriptions and translations. –Aharon Varady
