Sort most recent first? “A Prayer of Re-dedication” (also simply called “Rededication”) is the thirty-fifth prayer in the “Meditations” section of the Union Home Prayer Book (CCAR 1951), p. 199. It is one of only three new prayers found in this section (the others having been reprinted from CCAR’s 1923 collection of teḥinot). A close read of the prayer suggests to me that this prayer was written in the shadow of World War Ⅱ and the Holocaust, giving voice to concerns over Jewish continuity in the midst of post–World War II economic expansion and largess in the United States. Categories: Congregation & Community, 🇮🇱 Yom haShoah (27 Nisan), 🇺🇸 Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust (28-29 April), 🌐 Holocaust Survivor Day (4 June) Tags: 20th century C.E., 58th century A.M., American Jewry of the United States, dedications and consecrations, English vernacular prayer, post-Holocaust liturgical adaptations, Post–World War II economic expansion Contributor(s): A prayer offered at the opening of a department store during the post-WWII economic expansion in the United States. “Prayer for Dedication of Hospital Chapel” by Rabbi Morrison David Bial was first published in his anthology, An Offering of Prayer (1962), p. 68, from where this prayer was transcribed. No contextual information was provided with the prayer, so we cannot say when the prayer was offered or even for which hospital chapel it was dedicated. If you know, please leave a comment or contact us. This “Synagogue Consecration Prayer ” by the Hon. Lily H. Montagu (1873-1963) was included by Rabbi Morrison David Bial in his anthology, An Offering of Prayer (1962), p. 50. Although the context is not provided by Rabbi Bial, we would like to imagine that the consecration was for the establishment of the West Central Liberal Jewish Synagogue in 1928 (destroyed by Nazi German bombardment of London in 1941). This is Rabbi Israel Mowshowitz’s benediction at the dedication of a “Tri-Faith Chapel Plaza” at JFK Airport terminal in Jamaica-Queens, New York on 18 December 1966, representing the New York Board of Rabbis.
