Gebet wenn Seuchen oder epidemische Krankheiten herrsche | Prayer When Epidemic Diseases Prevail, a teḥinah by Meïr Letteris (1846)

Contributed by Miriam Wertheimer (translation) | Meïr haLevi Letteris | Aharon N. Varady (transcription) | ❧

“Gebet einer Frau, wenn Seuchen oder epidemische Krankheiten herrschen” was written by Meïr haLevi Letteris and published in תָּחֲנוּנֵי בַּת יְהוּדָה (Taḥnunei bat Yehudah): Andachtsbuch für Israelitische Frauenzimmer (1846), pp. 110-112. In 1852, this teḥinah was translated into English (with a short prayer added for children) by Miriam Wertheimer under the title “Prayer when epidemic diseases prevail” in Devotional Exercises for the Use of Jewish Women on Public and Domestic Occasions (1852), pp. 70-71. The sad inspiration for this prayer was likely the 1846-1860 Cholera Pandemic. . . .
