Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Hebrew and the Hebrew Christian
The first thing I can remember, and that only as a. Dream, is the death of my father, when I was not quite four years old. But I have a distinct remem brance of what occurred after that age. Regularly every morning, as soon as I was washed and dressed, my nurse used to take me to my mother, who was seated in her arm-chair, and after the usual morning kiss, I folded my hands, and my mother prayed with me in Hebrew. She would then take me in her arms, kiss me, and carry me to the table where my brother and Sisters were assembled. A piece of bread was then placed in my hand, and in a. Loud voice I pronounced the following blessing in Hebrew Blessed art Thou, O Jehovah, our God, King of the Universe, who bringest forth bread from the earth. Then all present would say, Amen. The meal concluded, I was taught in the Aramean language, to say Praised be the merciful One, the Lord and King of this food. In the evening, before I was put to bed, my mother again prayed with me, in Hebrew, concluding with the words Into Thy hands, 0 Lord, I commit my Spirit, while I sleep, even until I awake, for Thou, God, art my Protector, in whom I can trust.
