David Levi, (1742-1801), a self-taught English Jew, provided both Jews and Christians with basic materials about Judaism in English. Since the English Jewish community of the time knew little or no Hebrew, Levi translated the Sefaradi and Ashkenazi prayer books, and produced expositions and translations of much Jewish lore about ritual and practice. His texts were used by Jewish and Christian writers well into the 19th century.
