📖 מחזור לראש השנה (אשכנז)‏ | Maḥzor l’Rosh ha-Shanah: The Form of Prayers for the New Year, a bilingual Hebrew-English prayerbook compiled and translated by David Levi (1794)

מחזור לראש השנה The Form of Prayers for the New Year According to the Custom of the German & Polish Jews was compiled and translated in 1794 by David Levi (1742-1801). It is the first volume in a set of nusaḥ Ashkenaz maḥzorim by Levi, and his introduction sets forth his principles of translation used throughout the rest of the volumes. Due to the high esteem accorded it, this set served as a template for later maḥzorim in their translations and layout.

📖 מחזור לראש השנה (אשכנז)‏ | Maḥzor l’Rosh ha-Shanah: The Form of Prayers for the New Year, a bilingual Hebrew-English prayerbook translated by Isaac Levi (1807/1848)

מחזור לראש השנה The Form of Prayers for the New Year According to the Custom of the German & Polish Jews was translated by Isaac Levi in 1807, ostensibly as a “revision” of a 1795 maḥzor compiled, translated, and published by David Levi (no relation). This later printing of Isaac Levi’s translation, made by the printer H. Abrahams (“Tsvi bar Michael” in Hebrew) in 1848, mistakenly credits “David Levy” instead of Isaac Levi. I’ve provided both editions so that their contents can more easily be compared with one another. –Aharon Varady

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
