An open letter to the rabbis assembled at Frankfurt am Main in 1845. “Solomon Judah Löb HaKohen Rapoport (1786–1867) was a Galician rabbi and Jewish scholar. He was born in Lemberg, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. He married in 1810 Franziska Freide Heller, the daughter of the well-known Aryeh Leib Heller, and was instrumental in publishing the work Avnei Miluim of his father in law. He wrote both the index, sources and numerous comments. ” (Wikipedia, 2016) “He wrote "Torah Or" against the radical views Geiger had expressed in his ‘Urschrift, ’ rebuked Jost for taking the same attitude in his ‘? Oka? At Megullah’ (an open letter to the rabbis assembled at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1845…) and assumed a negative attitude toward the convention of German rabbis at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1845” (JE, 1906) .

‎1st edition. Later cloth, 12mo, 307, 55. In English, Hebrew and German. Singerman 1949, Goldman 53. The original two volumes of the Minhag America prayer book had both been published in 1857, one with Hebrew-English text (Prayer Book for Public and Private Worship) and the other with Hebrew-German text (Gebet-Buch fur den offentlichen Gottesdienst und die Privat-Andacht). In the 1860s, he took the project up again, issuing a three volume series of his “Minhag Amerika”–the American Tradition–with the present volume for Yom Kipur (The Day of Atonement), as well as a volume for Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New year) and a combined Jewish Hymnal and Psalter, all shaped by his view of Reform Judaism in America. This volume thus represents one of the first Reform prayer books for the High Holidays in the United States. Some of the prayers are translated both into English and German. Wise, was a pioneer of Reform Judaism in America and became its acknowledged leader and its institutional architect, organizing the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (1873) , the Hebrew Union College (1875) , and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (1889) . The reforms that he instituted sought to change or adapt Judaism to 19th century America. He was also an organizer and mover in the establishment of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, in 1889. Elected its president, he served until he died. Wise believed in uniting American Jewry and hoped to publish a new American reform prayer book titled "Minhag America. ” The Machzor presented here is part of this project. (See: Goldman 44).

‎00A [Isaac Leeser Helps Publish & Promote A Collection of Reform Sermons in Charleston!] Salomon, Gotthold Translated by Anna Ma‎

‎TWELVE SERMONS DELIVERED IN THE NEW TEMPLE OF THE ISRAELITES AT HAMBURGH. TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN BY ANNA MARIA GOLDSMID. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION‎

‎Charleston S. C. : Levin & Tavel 1841. 1st American Edition Original Publisher's Cloth Small 8vo 2 236 pages followed by several unnumbered pages of publisher's advertisements. Singerman 0761 Rosenbach 483. <br> <br> Jacob Rader Marcus the dean of historians of American Jewish history suggests in his work UNITED STATES JEWRY 1776-1985 Detroit 1989 that "The motive that prompted Nathaniel Levin and a Charleston associate to reprint an English translation of the sermons of Gotthold Salomon was apologetic.The book was Twelve Sermons Delivered in the New Temple of the Israelites at Hamburgh. The Hamburg temple in Germany was a liberal Jewish synagog one of the first in Europe. <br> An English translation had been made of the sermons at London in 1839 by Anna Maria Goldsmid the daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid the Anglo-Jewish emancipator and religious liberal. The American reprint appeared two years later. <br> Both editions were intended not only to edify Jews but also to interest and attract non-Jews. It was Levin's hope that these sermons would remove unjust prejudices against the Jew and would present 'the lofty character of the Israelite in its true colors.' A book of this sort would help the Jews put their best foot forward." <br> Interestingly this 1st American edition of Twelve Sermons contains a new preface extolling the religious liberty of America and highlighting the refuge it afforded to the Jews. The new preface is merely signed "L" certainly referring authorship by Isaac Leeser and further supported by the fact that volume is preceded by two pages of advertisements for works by Leeser even though his works had no connection to the Charleston Publisher of this work.<br> That Leeser who would become American Orthodoxy's greatest warrior against the Reform would offer a preface to and advertise his works in a collection of sermons from the breakaway Liberal Hamburg Temple in Germany suggests that he did not yet see the coming threat from the Reform movement. <br> At the time of printing in Charleston Gustavus Poznanski 5 years into his term as rabbi and still somewhat traditional was just starting to make what felt like radical reforms as he "excised the Resurrection of the Dead and abolished the Second day of festivals five years before the same was done at the Breslau conference." <br> <br> America's first Reform import from Germany and it's first synagogue established as Reformed Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore was still a year away from birth. Indeed the official term "Reform" did even come into use to describe Liberal Judaism except as a general adjective until 1845 even in Germany. <br> Leeser's involvement in this publication merits further study as it is not mentioned in the bibliographies nor in Sussman's comprehensive "Isaac Leeser and the Making of American Judaism." <br> Indeed in the 1840s at the time of this printing "there was a major split in Congregation Beth Elohim which many historians of American Jewish history see as the beginning of the American Reform movement. The conflict began after the introduction of an organ into the synagogue when it was rebuilt following a fire in 1840. <br> The series of conflicts between Reform and Traditionalist elements in Beth Elohim resulted in a complicated dispute between the President who favored Reform and the Board of Trustees which was controlled by the Traditionalists. The President refused to call the Board of Trustees to meet as was required by the synagogue's constitution because he knew they would admit new traditionalist members and obtain control of the congregation. The Board ignored him and met on their own a move which the Reformers challenged in court. The resulting case State v. Ancker has become known as an early example of U. S. Courts refusing to intervene in complex religious questions" Wikipedia. <br> <br> Salomon 1784-1862 was the preacher of the new Reform Hamburg Temple. His "sermons modeled like those of other preachers on Protestant examples were praised by his contemporaries notably H. Heine." Goldsmid 1805-1889 a daughter of Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid was a London author poetess translator educator and communal worker JE. Includes bibliographical references. <br> SUBJECTS: Jewish sermons.

Les pièces portent en effet soit sur les imperfections de la condition féminine (pièces I, II & III), soit sur l'ordre judiciaire (VI), soit sur les rapports entre l'Etat et l'Eglise (V & VII).I. MIRABEAU (Honoré-Gabriel Riquetti de) : Conversation du comte de Mirabeau avec Monsieur le Garde-des-Sceaux de France, au sujet de son procès avec Madame son épouse, suivi du Testament de l'abbé Pommier. Paris, 1784, 39 pp. Mirabeau publia cette pièce à l'occasion du procès qui l'opposait à son épouse Émilie de Covet, fille du marquis de Marignane, suite de la demande en séparation introduite par celle-ci. Emilie espérait, en effet, obtenir l'annulation du mariage pour épouser son amant Louis-François de Galliffet. Mirabeau, qui ne prit pas d'avocat, se défendit lui-même. II. PROST DE ROYER (Antoine-François) : De l'Administration des femmes. Mémoire lu dans la séance publique de l'Académie des Sciences, Belles-Lettres & Arts de Lyon, le 3 décembre 1782. Extrait du Dictionnaire de jurisprudence et des arrêts. Genève, et se trouve à Paris & à Lyon, 1782, 53 pp.Dissertation sur les incapacités juridiques qui frappent les femmes en France, malheureusement souvent noyée sous un badinage guère rigoureux, mais l'auteur se montre favorable à une "émancipation".III. [GRIMOD DE LA REYNIERE (Alexandre-Balthazar-Laurent) :] Réflexions philosophiques sur le plaisir ; par un célibataire. Troisième édition. Revue avec soin, corrigée avec docilité, et augmentée de cinq ou six petits morceaux qui n'avoient point encore paru. Lausanne, et se trouve à Paris, chez l'auteur, la veuve Duchesne, Le Jay, Bailly, la veuve Esprit, Pichard, Petit, 1784, 136 pp. En fait, seconde édition à proprement parler, mais troisième tirage (l'originale de 1783 en connut deux différents). Le prétexte de l'ouvrage est bien connu : le volume fut mis en vente quelques jours après le fameux souper du 1er février 1783 que Grimod donna, dans l'hôtel particulier de ses parents, pour dix-sept invités. Ceux-ci s'attablèrent autour d'un catafalque, dans une salle tendue de noir, pour un festin de quatorze services de cinq plats chacun qui dura jusqu'à quatre heures du matin. La carte d'invitation avait été rédigée en forme de faire-part mortuaire. Les jours qui suivirent, le nom de Grimod était sur toutes les lèvres du Tout Paris. Rétif de La Bretonne prétendit que ce souper fut pour Grimod le moyen de faire connaître son premier livre, dans lequel il dissertait avec élégance sur le plaisir — "une sensation que l'on éprouve, mais que l'on ne définit pas" — et épinglait quelques travers parisiens en matière de mode, l'usage de "renfermer les filles jusqu'au jour de leur mariage" ou les nouvelles habitudes des jeunes gens qui sont "rarement gais" et rechignent à fréquenter la bonne compagnie.IV. VOLTAIRE : Mémoires pour servir à la vie de Voltaire, écrits par lui-même. Berlin, s.n., 1784, 80 pp. Bengesco II, 1642. Une des cinq éditions parues à la date de 1784, et vraisemblablement publiées toutes en Angleterre (l'adresse de Berlin n'est là que pour rappeler que Voltaire ne composa ces fragments autobiographiques qu'après sa sortie de Brandebourg et qu'ils portent beaucoup sur ses relations avec Frédéric). Si l'authenticité du morceau ne fait pas de doute, la date de composition est problématique (mais vraisemblablement de 1759), et les circonstances de la publication en 1784 (pourquoi cette date, six ans après la mort du Patriarche ? à partir de quel manuscrit, alors que l'original avait été brûlé par Voltaire lui-même ? etc.) carrément énigmatiques : on a soupçonné tour à tour La Harpe et le secrétaire Wagnière d'avoir dérobé des copies.V. Réforme du clergé. Par l'auteur du C.C. Conclue, décidée & imprimée en Sorbonne, & aggréée par le S.P. le Pape [sic]. S.l., 1783, 72 pp. D'inspiration assez fébronienne, cette pièce semble avoir été imprimée en pays germanique (Suisse ou Allemagne), et elle préconise des réformes radicales en matière de biens ecclésiastiques et de juridiction qui font penser aux tentatives joséphistes.VI. BRISSOT DE WARVILLE (Jacques-Pierre) : Le Sang innocent vengé, ou Discours sur les réparations dues aux accusés innocens. Couronné par l'Académie des Sciences & Belles-Lettres de Châlons-sur-Marne, le 25 août 1781. Berlin, et se vend à Paris, chez Defauges, 1781, VIII-69 pp. Edition originale peu communde l'un des premiers travaux de Brissot sur le droit criminel, matière qui l'occupa de 1780 à 1784, en dépit de son peu de goût réel pour l'apprentissage juridique auquel il s'était livré. Mais, tout acquis déjà à ses pensées de réforme, il proposa plusieurs aménagements pénaux qui finirent par passer dans la législation.VII. [BRISSOT DE WARVILLE :] L'Autorité législative de Rome anéantie, ou Examen rapide de l'histoire & des sources du droit canonique, dans lequel on prouve ses incertitudes, ses abus & la nécessité de lui substituer pour la discipline de l'Eglise, des lois simples, &c. S.l.n.n., 1784, [4]–73 pp. Edition originale (il y a une seconde édition à la date de 1791, à l'occasion de la condamnation de la Constitution civile). Autre exemple de la manie réformatrice de Brissot, donnée là dans un domaine en lequel il n'entendait évidemment rien. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT - LIEN DE PAIEMENT, NOUS CONSULTER.‎
