Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Order of Prayers and Responsive Readings for Jewish Worship
After a trial of over two years, the English Ritual published by the undersigned in 1884 has been found ina dequate to the wants of our congregation. The majority of those who regularly attend divine service are accustomed to to the Hebrew as the language of prayer, while those for whom the English Ritual was intended, do not take that interest in our public worship as to justify the substitution of the English for the Hebrew. To return to the old Hebrew Prayer-book with its un-english translation would land us where we started from a few years ago; it will not remedy the evil. To satisfy the demands of both, the old and the young generation, the undersigned has recast his former publication, adding all the principal prayers in the Hebrew language contamed in the older Prayer-book, yet making the English rendition on the opposite page an independent Ritual, thus enabling the worshipper to follow the service intelligently whether using the Hebrew or the English part. Some changes have been made in regard to the Psalms to be read at Sabbath eve and Sabbath morning service; they have been placed before each service. The Minister, however, may now and then select some other Psalm from the ap pended Collection which has been left unaltered from the previous edition.
