Description: Up for sale is a 1913 printing of Dr. David Einhorn's “Book of Prayers for Jewish Congregations”.This is an 1896 Copyright by Julie Einhorn and a 1913, early printing of a new translation in English from the original German. Black leather gilt edged. Preface by the translator, Ernst Hirsch, dated Chicago Ill August 3, 1896.Very Good antique condition: light wear and bumping to the spine ends and corners; sound binding with some wear to first (2) pages; text is clean and unmarked; details from a family in the early 1900s written in ink on the front page and a taped on prayer sheet in the back of the book.This is a fantastic copy of the English translation of this important early American Judaica book. Einhorn's was one of the first printed in America to read from left to right, catering to the burgeoning Reform Movement. He was a radical in his time and fervently anti-slavery. Einhorn immigrated to the United States and was named on September 29, 1855, as the first rabbi of the Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore. In that role, Einhorn formulated the Olat Tamid siddur for use in services, which became one of the models for the Union Prayer Book published in 1894 by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Olat Tamid contrasted with Isaac Mayer Wise's Minhag America in particular by removing references to the status of Jews as a chosen people and eliminating references to the restoration of sacrificial services in the Temple.
