(Liturgy) Form of Prayers For New Year. N.Y. 1853-54


Machzor for Rosh Hashana, Hebrew & English according to the German rite.


N.Y. Henry Frank 1853 or 1854.


Rare. This is the first Ashkenazic Machzor printed in America.


Issued by the Jewish printing establishment of Henry (Chaim) Frank of New York and based upon the celebrated Wolf Heidenheim edition, this prayer-book enabled the newly rising community of Aschkenazi American Jews to conduct services according to their own custom, as opposed to that of the Sephardic rite.

Vol. 1 out of 2.

Original front cover, lacking spine and back cover, gold edged.

A good sound copy.
