(ANGLO-JUDAICA).
The Morning and the Evening Sacrifice - How to be Represented in these Days with Special Reference to the Claims of Deaf Mutes in the Jewish Community. A Sermon Delivered in the Great Synagogue, Duke’s Place by Rev. Dr. Adler.
London, Wertheimer, 1865.
Occasional use of Hebrew. pp. 15. Lightly discolored. Original printed wrappers, with later paper covers. 8vo.
BRITISH CHIEF RABBI URGES CARE FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH DISABILITIES.
The title of the sermon relates to the Midrash that discusses which verse in the Torah might be the singularly most important and concluding it is Exodus 29:39.
Chief Rabbi Adler then proceeds to raise the unfashionable matter of handicapped children in the community and their requied care and education under Jewish auspices:
“I deem it a subject worthy of the most earnest and anxious consideration of the community, that an institution be established, be it ever so small, for the training of our poor deaf mutes. Say not, there are already so many charities and institutions in our midst, the burden of maintaining which rests upon a few; why add another? I answer in the words of our sages, ‘God desires each of us according to his ability.’ What our brethren in Holland and Austria can do, we in England, surely, can also do.”
AN UNUSUALLY PRESCIENT SERMON RELATING TO SOCIAL CAUSES.
