Miriam Wertheimer (translation)

Miriam Wertheimer (fl. mid-19th c.) was a pioneering English translator of teḥinot in Birmingham, England, and a direct descendant of Akiba Israel Wertheimer (1778–1835) was the first Chief Rabbi of Altona and Schleswig-Holstein. We know very little else about her save that she translated a collection of teḥinot in German into English that was published in 1852. She was a friend of Hester Rothschild who translated another collection of teḥinot and paraliturgical prayers. If you know more about Miriam Wertheimer, please contact us.
