Two Important Items for the Research of the History of the Ashkenazic Jewry - the 19th Century and Beginning of the 20th Century
A. Prayer before Ma'ariv of Yom Kippur, Reform version (Nusach). The end of the 19th century. Extremely rare.
The beginning of Ma'ariv for Yom Kippur in German and Hebrew, non-traditional version.
The prayer begins with an alternative version of "Kol Nidrei", which focuses on atonement for sins and erases any trace of the traditional annulment of vows. The prayer does end with the traditional verse that ends th e"Kol Nidrei" prayer: "Ve'Nislach Le'Kol Adat Bnei Yisrael…"
The traditional prayer of "Kol Nidrei" was removed from the prayer books for the first time by Aharon Chorin, a pioneer of early religious reform. In 1844, the committee of the reforms in Braunschweig decided to remove it permanently. Yet, the reforms ascribed importance to the fact that the prayer and its melody were highly familiar and fixed in the consciousness of the public. Therefore, their rabbis published several alternative versions that matched the traditional melody.
The Ma'ariv prayer after "Kol Nidrei" includes "three acts" led by the prayer leader, who sings out loud passages of the prayer, and the community answers back according to what is written.
Extremely rare!
4 pp.
Condition: Very Good.
B. Prayer for the success of the German soldiers at the front and the souls of those who died in battle. Hamburg, 1914. Rare
A prayer that was said at the central Israeli-German synagogue of Hamburg at the beginning of World War I.
The prayer is written in Hebrew and translated into German and demonstrates the deep identification of the Hamburg Jewish community with the German homeland and its soldiers. The prayer emphasizes that Germany is their country and homeland and that those fighting against it are "the enemy that oppresses us from every direction…"
4 pp.
Condition: Very Good. Folding marks.
