Prince”), an optician representing their Boston congregation, Ohabei Shalom.[foot]For more on Abraham Prince, Ohabei Shalom, and Boston’s early Jewish community, find “Boston: A Close Community” by Robert P. Swierenga in The Forerunners: Dutch Jewry in the North American Diaspora (2018).[/foot] The prayer appeared in The Asmonean (26 November 1852), on page 5. At the time, reformist minded rabbis and congregations in the United States were interested in liturgical alternatives to the form of the prayer for the government found in Hanotén Teshu’ah, to more pointedly or appropriately signal their approval of the representative government that guaranteed their minority rights and equal representation under the Constitution. “Song” by Rosa Emma Collins née Salaman was published in her bound collections of poetry, Poems (1853), p. 65.

Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 57th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, New York, New York State Assembly, New York State Senate, Prayers of Guest Chaplains Contributor(s): This is a bilingual Hebrew-English siddur published in Fürth, Germany by S.B. Gusdorfer, intended for German immigrants to the United States. The siddur contains a prayer for the government composed by Rabbi Max Lilienthal (substituted for the traditional prayer for sovereigns, hanoten teshuah).

Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): This prayer in support of the Crimean War was offered by Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler, chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Empire on the National Day of Humiliation and Prayer, 26 April 1854, and published in The Asmonian (19 May 1854), on page 6. Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 57th century A.M., British Empire, British Jewry, Crimea, Crimean War, English vernacular prayer, Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, Second French Empire Contributor(s): This is an abridged translation by Hester Rothschild in 1855 titled אמרי לב Prayers and Meditations, adapted from Prières d’un Cœur Israelite published by the “Société Consistoriale de Bons Livres” (1848). The original work by Rabbi Arnaud Aron and Jonas Ennery contains tkhines translated into French, prayers by German reformers in French translation, and many additional liturgical translations and paraliturgical prayers. Rothschild’s work presents several prayers in English unique to her compilation by Anglo-Jewish writers. This second edition (1859) contains revisions and corrections (“there are some additions and many improvements”). This second edition was also later republished without permission in the United States by Isaac Leeser containing additional corrections. General public forms of prayer may not always be adapted to the peculiar exigencies of every mind; the compilers of this work have therefore striven to supply in some measure this spiritual need, by meditations and prayers suited to every situation and occasion in life; and it has been the humble yet anxious endeavour of the translator to preserve the spirit of the original in its English garb.
