The prayer was printed as a single leaflet by the printer Druck von Lehrberger & Co. in Frankfurt am Main. A leaflet ended up in the Central Chabad Lubavitch Library in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, NY (Card #87119), although no explanation has been offered how a Chasidic group based in Russia came to acquire this work. The original leaflet was digitized and made accessible via the Chabad library website.

In addition to abridged liturgy, the prayerbook also contains a curated selection of teḥinot in vernacular French, and psalms in French translation. Rabbi Isaie Schwartz, appointed chief rabbi in 1939, wrote the introductory letter to Jewish soldiers at the start of the French section of the siddur. In it, he notes the prayerbook is, essential, a copy of one offered to French-Jewish soldiers by the Consistoire central israelíte de France during World War Ⅰ. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., French Jewry, French vernacular prayer, military, World War Ⅰ, World War Ⅱ Contributor(s): This prayer of the guest chaplain was offered in the second month of the third session of the 63rd US House of Representatives, and published in the Congressional Record, vol. 52 part 2 (13 January 1915), page 1514. Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., 63rd Congress, English vernacular prayer, U.S. House of Representatives, Prayers of Guest Chaplains, תחינות teḥinot Contributor(s): A popular collection of tkhines compiled from earlier collections by the Hebrew Publishing Company. On 19 June, the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention in 1916, the invocation was offered by Rabbi Gerson B. Levi of Temple Israel (Chicago) at the Chicago Coliseum in Chicago, Illinois, as recorded in The Official Report of the Proceedings of the Republican National Convention 1916, page 101. The author of this tkhine intended for women to begin their morning devotional reading of prayers by first accepting patriarchal dominion. Women compensate for their inherent weakness and gain their honor only through the established gender roles assigned to them. The placement of this tkhine at the beginning of the Shas Tkhine Rav Peninim, a popular collection of women’s tkhines published in 1916 (during the ascent of women’s suffrage in the U.S.), suggests that it was written as a prescriptive polemic to influence pious Jewish women to reject advancing feminist ideas.
