A Prayer for American Victory in the Spanish-American War by Rabbi Joshua Seigel (1846-1910), New York: Eliakum Zunser, [1898]. This is a fragment of a prayer offered before the United States Senate on 30 June 1898 by Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger, rabbi of Temple Emanuel and professor of Semitic Languages at the University of California, San Francisco. The Opening Prayer given in the U.S. House of Representatives on 28 February 1899.

The complete address and prayer were published as “Our Country” in the San Francisco Jewish newspaper, Emanu-El (v. 20, n. 16, 25 August 1905), pp. 7-8. “Dedication of Monument for War Heroes” was written and delivered by Rabbi Jacob Bosniak at the dedication of a war memorial at Ocean Parkway, “near Fort Hamilton Parkway,” Brooklyn, in 1924. The prayer was first published in Rabbi Bosniak’s לקוטי תפלות Liḳutei Tefilot: Pulpit and Public Prayers (1927), pp. 108-109. We are not familiar with any war memorials in the vicinity of Ocean Parkway near Fort Hamilton Parkway that were dedicated in 1924. (The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial dedicated by veterans of the Spanish-American War in 1924 can be found just off of Ocean Parkway on the southern edge of Asser Levy Park, but that is a far distance from Fort Hamilton Parkway. Perhaps it had been relocated at some point?) If you know the exact location of this memorial, please leave a comment, or contact us.
