Our research of the copyright renewals database held at Stanford Universtiy indicates that this work is in the Public Domain due to a lapse of copyright due to the lack of a copyright renewal. Ha-Madrikh, having been published in the United States between 1923 and 1963, was required to have its copyright renewed within 28 years of its publication by the copyright holder indicated in the copyright notice: the Hebrew Publishing Company. This is a common condition for many works published during this period. We have digitally scanned this work so as to make it more widely accessible and to make it available for digital transcription.

Introduction
This manual has been devised for the express purpose of giving the Rabbi, or anyone officiating at a Jewish ceremonial or ritual, a concise and practical aid that will facilitate the task of officiating , and will obviate the necessity of resorting to the voluminous literature pertaining thereto.
The prayers and texts used for recitations on various occasions are given in their entirety so that there is no need during a ritual to scan the book in order to complete a particular service: the instructions are given in chronological sequence, and the prayers and texts for recitation follow the instructions. The Midrashic and Talmudic excerpts given at the end of the volume bear upon the subjects covered in the book and are intended to serve as source material, for sermons and speeches for special occasions.
The references indicating the sources will be of interest to those wishing further elucidation or information.
The need for a practical manual of this sort has been long felt, and we are confident that this volume will accomplish the purpose for which it is intended.

Hyman E. Goldin

Rabbi Hyman Elias Goldin, LL.B. (March 15, 1881, near Vilna – 1972) was a Lithanian-American Orthodox Rabbi, attorney and Judaic scholar. A prolific author of English Jewish literature, he wrote over fifty works.

Hebrew Publishing Company

The Hebrew Publishing Company was founded in 1900 by Joseph Werbelowsky (1884-1919). Occupying a former bank building on Delancey Street in Manhattan’s Lower East Side until the mid 1970s, the company remained owned by the Werbelowsky family (later shortened to Werbel) until 1980 when it was sold to Charles Lieber (1921-2016). During its first eighty years, the publishing house grew to become one of the most prominent publishing houses for Jewish books and sheet music.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
