This prayer, written for the Spanish and Portuguese Jews’ Congregation of London in the mid-19th century, is stated by the bar mitsvah prior to his ‘aliya blessing over the Torah. In the early 2010s, Rabbi Israel Elia ז״ל introduced the custom that a bat mitsvah recites a feminine form (with words marked in blue replaced by words marked in red) prior to her derasha. (In egalitarian communities where a bat mitsvah recieves an ‘aliyah as well, she may recite it prior to the ‘aliya blessing as well.) Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):

“Confirmation (Father, see thy suppliant children)” is a hymn written by Felix Adler and published in Hymns, for Divine Service in the Temple Emanu-El (1871), hymn №34, p. 68. We have tentatively dated this hymn to 1868, since another hymn by Adler (“School-hymn, no. 36”) can be found appended from another unattributed work in A Guide to Instruction in the Israelitsh Religion (Samuel Adler, trans. M. Mayer, Temple Emanu-El, 1864, 4th printing 1868). Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):

Many thanks to the Jewish Women’s Archive for providing a copy of the manuscript through their website. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s):
