Excerpt: A bilingual Hebrew-English maḥzor for Yom Kippur, translated by Rabbi Simon Glazer and published by Star Publishing Company in 1928. . . .

Content:

This is M. Stern’s Or l’Yisrael maḥzor for Yom Kippur (1926/27), with an English translation by Rabbi Simon Glazer. The maḥzor is also “proofread” (מוגה) by Glazer, which we think means that he edited his own translation. Translations of this maḥzor by other translators were also published by Star Hebrew Book Company. Selections from it and others were ultimately compiled into a comprehensive daily prayer book by Maimon. Hebrew Books circa 1935.
