This volume complements a second for Shabbat and the Shalosh Regalim (festivals). Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A bilingual Hebrew-English maḥzor for Rosh haShanah in the Sepharadic tradition compiled by David de Sola Pool in 1937. Liberal Jewish Prayer Book vol. Ⅰ: Services for Weekdays, Sabbaths, etc. (1937) is the revised “new” edition edition of the communal prayerbook of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue (London) first published in 1926. This is the Kol Nidrei as offered by the Hannover Synagogue on Yom Kippur in 1937 according to the text provided in a poster, “Agende für Kol-nidre und Seelenfeier in der Synaogen-Gemeinde Hannover” (10 September 1937). Thank you to David Selis for providing digital images of the poster. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., Classical Reform, English Translation, English vernacular prayer, German Jewry, German vernacular prayer, paraliturgical kol nidrei, Third Reich Contributor(s): This is Rabbi Dr. Leo Beack’s prayer for his wife Natalie Baeck née Hamburger (1878-1937), dated 7 March 1937. Natalie had died two days prior on 5 March. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A songster in Hebrew and English with musical notation compiled by Harry Coopersmith. The experimental siddur, Prayers & Readings Selected and Arranged by Rabbi Solomon Goldman can be found appended to Harry Coopersmith’s songbook, Songs of My People (1938). The work, I believe, is an excellent reflection of the creative spirit of the nascent Reconstructionist movement. Goldman’s prayerbook is both traditional and expansive, seeking to bring into its pages both familiar liturgy along with additional works from all over Jewish literary history. The work represents what Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan would call a “Binder Siddur” — the siddur as a container of inspired works for collective reading and reflection in the synagogue. Perhaps even for personal use. With its good number of authors and translators expressing different voices appealing to Goldman, Prayers & Readings is also a kind of proto-Open Siddur. However, unlike the Open Siddur, Goldman only provides acknowledgement of the various authors and translators in his preface, and we are left uncertain as to which works should actually be attributed to each contributor. If you can tell which of the listed authors and translators contributed what, please leave a comment or contact us. This is the bilingual Hebrew-Croatian, nusaḥ Ashkenaz kol-bo (everyday) siddur of Rabbi Dr. Šalom Miroslav Freiberger, z”l (1903-1943): סדור רנה ותפלה Molitvenik (1938). An untitled prayer on behalf of German Jewry under Nazi oppression disseminated in Bombay, likely after Kristallnacht (9-10 November 1938). Categories: 🇮🇱 Yom haShoah (27 Nisan), Shiv'ah Asar b'Tamuz, 🌐 Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th), Kristallnacht (9-10 November, 16 Marḥeshvan), 🇺🇸 Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust (28-29 April) Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., anti-fascist, British Empire, German Jewry, Jews of India, the Holocaust, Third Reich, World War Ⅱ Contributor(s): The words of the prayer for Armistice Day 1938, “God Bless America” by Irving Berlin, in English and Yiddish. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., American Jewry of the United States, doikayt, hereness, Patriotic hymns, United States, Yiddish songs, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): This prayer for the country is found in the Siddur Sephat Emeth, which was published by the venerable Rödelheim publishing house in Frankfurt in 1938. This was probably the last siddur ever published in pre-Holocaust Germany. This prayer is full of pathos and yearning, and in a time of rising government-sponsored antisemitism worldwide it’s worth keeping in mind. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This is a prayer for captives, written in November 1938 in Hamburg, following Kristallnacht (my translation following the Hebrew). “May each and every one of them return to their family…who are worrying about them.” Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A bilingual Hebrew-English maḥzor for Yom Kippur in the Sepharadic tradition compiled by David de Sola Pool in 1939.
