German Jewry —⟶ tag: German Jewry Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? Rabbi David Einhorn’s prayer book `Olat Tamid (lit. the perpetual sacrifice)…first penned in Germany, served as the model for the Union Prayer Book,….the prayer book of the American Reform movement for almost eight decades. It reflected what is now called “classical Reform,” eliminating prayers for the restoration of Zion, mentions of the messiah, and bodily resurrection of the dead, while diminishing mentions of Jewish chosenness and the like. This is עלת תמיד Olat Tamid by Rev. Dr. David Einhorn (1809-1878), in its German-Hebrew edition (1858). Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 57th century A.M., American Reform Movement, Classical Reform, German Jewry, German Reform Movement, German-speaking Jewry, Needing Decompilation, Needing Transcription Contributor(s): A siddur in Hebrew with German translation compiled by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise for Liberal/Reform congregations establishing a Minhag Ameriḳa. Birkonim (bentschers) with table songs sung on the Sabbath with accompanying translations are now commonplace, but they not always were. The first major collection with accompanying translations was Dr. Leo Hirschfeld’s בזמרות נריע לו Die häuslichen Sabbathgesänge für Freitag⸗Abend, Sabbath⸗Tag und Sabbath⸗Ausgang (1898), an anthology of Sabbath table songs organized according to their traditional feast (Sabbath night, day, and Sabbath afternoon) in the Ashkenazi tradition. 📖 Beruria: Gebet- und Andachtsbuch für jüdische Frauen und Mädchen, by Rabbi Dr. Max Grunwald (1907)An anthology of prayers (teḥinot) for Jewish women written in vernacular German by Rabbi Dr. Max Grunwald and thirty-one other authors including women.

Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., German Empire, German Jewry, German vernacular prayer, military, Second Reich, Teḥinot in German, World War Ⅰ Contributor(s): A collection of five teḥinot compiled for the use of German-Jewish women gravely concerned for the well-being of their husbands, fathers, and sons serving as military personnel during what became known as World War Ⅰ.

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.

Categories: Tags: 20th century C.E., 57th century A.M., German Jewry, German translation, קדיש דרבנן Ḳaddish D'Rabanan Contributor(s): The Masoretic Hebrew text of Proverbs 30:10-31, the alphabetic acrostic “Eshet Ḥayil,” with a German translation by Franz Rosenzweig. A birkon and collection of table songs in Hebrew with German translation. This is the prayer which Rabbi Dr. Leo Baeck had disseminated to Jewish communities throughout Germany to recite on Yom Kippur, 10 October 1935. The German text here is as found in the archival notes of Helmut Grünewald, Ein Judenjunge durfte kein Deutscher sein (Bristol, 1998), pp. 20-21 in the collection of the Leo Baeck Institute. The English translation is as published by Dr. Michael Meyer in Rabbi Leo Baeck: Living a Religious Imperative in Troubled Times (2020), pp. 106-107. This is the Kol Nidrei as offered by the Hannover Synagogue on Yom Kippur in 1937 according to the text provided in a poster, “Agende für Kol-nidre und Seelenfeier in der Synaogen-Gemeinde Hannover” (10 September 1937). Thank you to David Selis for providing digital images of the poster.

This was probably the last siddur ever published in pre-Holocaust Germany. This prayer is full of pathos and yearning, and in a time of rising government-sponsored antisemitism worldwide it’s worth keeping in mind. Categories: Tags: Contributor(s): A Friday night siddur in Hebrew with German translation produced by the first egalitarian German speaking minyan and Rosh Ḥodesh group in Berlin between 1995 and 1998. “Gut Schabbes,” a project for an equal Ḳabbalat Shabbat at home, was supported by a grant from the ZURÜCKGEBEN Foundation[foot]Zurückgeben = „Giving Back“[/foot] in 1995.
