58th century A.M. —⟶ tag: 58th century A.M. Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? “Prayer for Men on Active Service” is the opening prayer in the Prayer Book of Jewish Members of H.M. Forces (Office of the Chief Rabbi 1940), p. 4. This prayer for victory and deliverance in the war against Nazi Germany, simply titled “War Prayer,” appears in the Prayer Book of Jewish Members of H.M. Forces (Office of the Chief Rabbi 1940), pp. 16-17. Sections of the prayer were adapted from the prayer on the declaration of war by Rabbi Hertz in 1914 at the outset of World War I. In the preface to the payer book, Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz specifically mentions this prayer, among others, as having been newly revised for this publication. The initial version of the prayer, likely to have been written by Rabbi Hertz, was published by the Office of the Chief Rabbi for a 17 Tammuz service in July 1938. A revision was disseminated after Kristallnacht (9-10 November 1938). This is the third version of the prayer.

Katz, 2017), pp. 19-20. The song is also known by its incipit, “Heḥayyeinu El.” Categories: Kristallnacht (9-10 November, 16 Marḥeshvan), 🇮🇱 Yom haShoah (27 Nisan), 🌐 Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th), 🇺🇸 Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust (28-29 April), Se'udah haShlishit Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., acrostic, חבּ״ד ḤaBaD Lubavitch, משיח Moshiaḥ, the Holocaust, World War Ⅱ, זמירות zemirot Contributor(s): “Prayer Before a Battle” appears at the start of Prayer Book of Jewish Members of H.M. Forces (Office of the Chief Rabbi 1940), p. 5. This undated “Special prayer for Service of Intercession” by the Hon. Lily H. Montagu (1873-1963) from the archives of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue, London, was published in, Lily Montagu: Sermons, Addresses, Letters, and Prayers (ed. Ellen M. Umansky, 1985), pp. 356-357. From the contents, it reads as if it was composed in response to the terrifying news of the tortuous treatment of European Jews during the Holocaust. In 1940, other “intercession” services were offered with comparative prayers; for example, this one by the chief rabbi J.H. Hertz included in the Prayer Book for H.M. Forces. “Prayer for Intercession,” almost certainly written by Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz, was published in the Prayer Book of Jewish Members of H.M. Forces (Office of the Chief Rabbi 1940), pp. 18-19.

Roosevelt as part of his Radio Campaign Address at Hyde Park, New York on 4 November 1940. The prayer was adapted by Roosevelt from one he referred to it in his speech as “an old prayer.” That prayer was originally offered by Rev. Anson Phelps Stoke, canon of the Washington Cathedral (Washington DC), a guest chaplain before the Senate on 25 April 1932. Roosevelt, or a speech write, adapted the text of the prayer by removing the final line, thereby making the prayer a more inclusive and ecumenical civic prayer.
