← Back to Languages & Scripts Index An anthology of prayers (teḥinot) for Jewish women written in vernacular German by Rabbi Dr. Max Grunwald and thirty-one other authors including women. . . . This is Julia M. Cohen’s The children’s Psalm-book, a selection of Psalms with explanatory comments, together with a prayer-book for home use in Jewish families (1907). The compilation contains a pedagogical essay providing parents guidance for reading the psalms, as well as her translations and commentary on the selected psalms. The prayer-book includes posthumously published translations of Yigdal and Adon Olam by Cohen’s father, Jacob Waley (1818-1873), co-founder of the United Synagogue. . . . Y.L. Peretz rejected cultural universalism, seeing the world as composed of different nations, each with its own character. Liptzin comments that “Every people is seen by him as a chosen people…”; he saw his role as a Jewish writer to express “Jewish ideals…grounded in Jewish tradition and Jewish history.” This is Peretz’s lampoon of the popularity of Friedrich Schiller’s idealistic paean made famous as the lyrics to the climax of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. . . .
