20th century C.E. —⟶ tag: 20th century C.E. Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? The Children’s Service for Use in Religious Schools (1902) is Rabbi J. Leonard Levy’s prayerbook compiled for the religious school at Congregation Rodeph Shalom, a Reform movement synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The siddur is comprised of four children’s services and twenty supplemental services for special days on the calendar. A hymnal comprises a third section. This is the second revised edition of the prayerbook, printed in 1904, containing additional services and hymns. “The Passover” by Rabbi J. Leonard Levy was first published in The Children’s Service for Use in Religious Schools (1902). In the second edition from 1904, it is found on page 227.

Leonard Levy was first published in The Children’s Service for Use in Religious Schools (1902). In the second edition from 1904, it is found on page 223. This Reform movement catechism by Rabbi J. Leonard Levy was first published as “Our Creed” in The Children’s Service for Use in Religious Schools (1902). In the second edition from 1904, it is found on page 207. There, Rabbi Levy’s verse is described as a “translation,” which from the credit of the melody to “Leoni” (Meyer Lyon, 1751-1797) might lead one to consider it a revised Reform movement adaptation of some setting of Thomas Oliver’s “God of Abraham” (ca. 1771, itself a Christian adaptation of Daniel ben Yehudah Dayyan’s “Yigdal”). A cross-comparison however reveals this is not the case. Over at the Hymnology Archive, Chris Fenner uncovered a rhymed English derivation of Yigdal by Newton Mann (1836-1926) made at the request of Rabbi Max Landsberg (1845-1927). This prayer for the wellbeing of the Jewish people first appears in A Selection of Prayers, Psalms, and Other Scriptural Passages, and Hymns for Use at the Services of the Jewish Religious Union (1902), where it is №6 on page 6. (In the revised 1903 edition of the prayerbook, it is №19 on page 19.) This prayer for communal prayer first appears in A Selection of Prayers, Psalms, and Other Scriptural Passages, and Hymns for Use at the Services of the Jewish Religious Union (1902), where it is №5 on page 6.

(In the revised 1903 edition of the prayerbook, it is №20 on page 20.)

Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., British Jewry, Liberal Movement for Progressive Judaism in Britain Contributor(s): A bilingual Hebrew-English maḥzor for Rosh haShanah, nusaḥ sefarad, with a translation for Rabbi David de Aaron de Sola, revised and edited by Moses Gaster. The poem, “Im Shamesh” (At Sunrise) by Ḥayyim Naḥman Bialik in June 1903. This translation of Ḥayyim Naḥman Bialik’s “Shabbat ha-Malkah” by Israel Meir Lask can be found on pages 280-281 in the Sabbath Prayer Book (Jewish Reconstructionist Foundation, 1945) where it appears as “Greeting to Queen Sabbath.” The poem is based on the shabbat song, “Shalom Alekhem” and first published in the poetry collection, Hazamir, in 1903. I have made a faithful transcription of the Hebrew and its English translation as it appears in the Sabbath Prayer Book. The first stanza of Lask’s translation was adapted from an earlier translation made by Angie Irma Cohon and published in 1920 in Song and Praise for Sabbath Eve (1920), p. 87. (Cohon’s translation of Bialik’s second stanza of “Shabbat ha-Malkah” does not appear to have been adapted by Lask.) “The Hebrew’s Friday Night (After Burns)” was written by Israel Zangwill and first published in his collection of poetry, Blind Children (1903), pp. 114-116.

The second volume appears immediately after the first volume ends on page 192, and uses its own separate pagination.
