Their service was conducted entirely in Hebrew and in the traditional nusaḥ with some minor but interesting Liberal innovations. Petuchowki writes, “We have omitted only the various repetitions as well as the prayer for the restoration of the sacrificial service. (But we have retained the place of Zion as the symbol of the messianic hope.) In the ‘Alenu prayer, we have preferred a positive formulation of the “Election of Israel” to the traditional negative one.” . . . ![]() A small work of Jewish prayer intended for Jewish women published by the sisterhood of Temple Miẓpah in Chicago. . . . ![]() ![]() The second edition of the Union Hymnal for Jewish Worship by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. . . . סדר תפלות ישראל (רפורם) | Seder Tefilot Yisrael: The Union Prayer Book for Jewish Worship – Morning Services (CCAR 1907)![]() ![]() A “provisional edition” of the Reform movement’s Union Prayer Book for six morning services (containing additional material) for Reform Synagogues with daily morning services. . . . ![]() ![]() ![]() A hymnal compiled by one of the Reform rabbis who first prepared the Union Prayerbook. . . . ![]() ![]() The first edition of the Union Hymnal by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. . . . סדר תפלות ישראל (רפורם) | Seder Tefilot Yisrael: The Union Prayer Book for Jewish Worship – Part I: The Sabbath, Three Festivals, and Weekdays (CCAR 1895)![]() ![]() The first edition of the Union Prayer Book (part one), the official prayerbook of the Reform Movement in the United States of America until its revision. . . . סדר תפלות ישראל (רפורם) | Seder Tefilot Yisrael: The Union Prayer Book for Jewish Worship – Part II: New Year’s Day, Day of Atonement (CCAR 1894)![]() The first edition of the Union Prayer Book (part two), a maḥzor for Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur. . . .
