This is a collection of forty prayers and twelve short essays/addresses in English by Rabbi Abraham Cronbach, Prayers of the Jewish Advance (1924). The work contains two opening prayers and one closing prayer (i.e., the “Prayers of the Jewish Advance”), prayers for ten days on the festival calendar including the Sabbath, a full confirmation service with seven prayers, and twenty miscellaneous prayers. The full program and notes to the Confirmation Service append the work.
This work is in the Public Domain due to its having been published more than 95 years ago.
This digital edition was prepared by Aharon Varady for the Open Siddur Project from a copy held in the collection of the HUC-JIR Klau Library in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Thank you!) This work is cross-posted to the Internet Archive, as a repository for our transcription efforts.
