Jewish Women's Prayers —⟶ tag: Jewish Women's Prayers Sorted Chronologically (old to new). Sort most recent first? “On Becoming Engaged” was written by Lilian Helen Montagu and published in Prayers for Jewish Working Girls (1895), pp. 30-31. “Prayer of Thanksgiving” was written by Lilian Helen Montagu and published in Prayers for Jewish Working Girls (1895), pp. 6-7. This prayer reads to me as possibly intended to be used as a prayer of transition, before the tradition of the bat mitsvah was universally adopted, at a time when a young woman might be old enough to begin contemplating their future, their marriage prospects, and their general “usefulness” — especially in regards to their future work — the overarching theme of this collection of prayers. This affirmation in particular stands out to me as radically important for Lilian Montagu and other young suffragettes to express in 1895: “Lord, whether in the future I marry or whether I remain single, I shall be able to lead a useful, happy life” and “Lord, I thank Thee for my womanhood!” Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 57th century A.M., English vernacular prayer, Gratitude, Jewish Women's Prayers, paraliturgical modim, תחינות teḥinot, teḥinot in English, thanksgiving, West Central Girls' Club Contributor(s): “Morning Prayer” was written by Lilian Helen Montagu and published in Prayers for Jewish Working Girls (1895), pp. 7-8.
