SHIRE BET-HA-KENESET [VOLUME 1]
Later Cloth. 4to. 161 pages. 32 cm. First edition. In Hebrew (and transliterated Hebrew) . 'Synagogue Compositions'. Published by Yuval (Juwal) of Berlin and Tel Aviv. Elaborately designed title page. For Mixed Chorus with and without Cantor. Volume two was later published at Oxford in 1938. Printers errors page printed on last leaf. Samuel Alman (18771947) , composer of synagogue and secular music. Alman was born in Sobolevka, Podolia. From 1895 until 1903 he studied at the Odessa and Kishinev conservatories. While at Kishinev, he was strongly influenced by the cantor Razumni. After the Kishinev pogrom (1903) Alman went to London where he attended the Royal College of Music, and wrote a biblical opera King Ahaz (performed in 1912) . He served as choirmaster of various London synagogues (notably at Humpstead) and Jewish choral groups. Alman's style was deeply rooted in the Southern Russian cantorial tradition, and he owed much to the choral technique of the meshorerim ('choristers') , as heard in the compositions of N. Spivak. He solved the problem of modern harmonization by following (especially in his instrumental works) the impressionistic style of Debussy. Alman succeeded in preserving the melodic features and deep sentiments of the Eastern European Ashkenazi chant, often creating a mystical atmosphere. Among his published works are Shirei Beit ha-Knesset, 2 vols. (1925, 1938) , for cantor and choir; Psalm 15 (1915) for chorus and organ, and Psalm 133 (1934) for chorus and piano; 'Mi addir' and 'Sheva berakhot' (1930) for cantor and organ; Ethics of the Fathers (1928) ; many arrangements of Yiddish folk songs; and compositions for strings including the quartet suite Ebraica (1932) . In addition, he edited Shirei Rozumni (1930) and the supplement to F. L. Cohen's Voice of Prayer and Praise (1933) . - 2008 EJ.

ZEMIROT YIS´RA'EL; I. CHANTS LITURGIQUES DE SABBATH. - II. CHANTS LITURGIQUES DES GRANDES FE^TES [TWO VOLUMES]
Original Wraps. Folio. 117; 103 pages. 34 cm. Second edition. In Hebrew (transliterated Hebrew) with introduction in French. Liturgy for the Sabbath and High Holidays. Two Volumes: Chants liturgiques de Sabbath - Chants liturgiques des grandes fetes. Volume three (Chants religieux des Israe¨lites) absent, though normally issued with this edition. Samuel Naumbourg (18151880) , was a hazzan, composer, and writer. Born in Dennelohe, near Ansbach (Bavaria) , the descendant of almost ten generations of south German hazzanim, Naumbourg received his musical education at Munich and sang there in Maier Kohn 's synagogue choir. After an engagement as choirmaster in Strasbourg, he came to Paris in 1843. In 1845 he was appointed first hazzan at the synagogue in the Rue Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth, under the sponsorship of Jacques Fromental Halévy and with the government authorization to carry out his plans for a thorough reform of liturgic music (which had lapsed into disorder after the death of Israel Lovy in 1832) . In 1847 he published the first two volumes of his Zemirot Yisrael (vol. 1 for the Sabbath, vol. 2 for the High Holidays) , with vol. 3 Hymnes et Psaumes added when the work was reissued in 1864 (repr. 1874, 1954) . ... Naumbourg's Zemirot Yisrael achieved an influence comparable to the works of his senior Solomon Sulzer and his junior Louis Lewandowsky . The pieces are set for hazzan and 2- to 4-part choir, with some organ accompaniments and, apart from Naumbourg's own compositions and arrangements, include some melodies by Lovy and two works by Halévy and Meyerbeer . About half of the pieces are based on traditional material, mainly south German. The others reflect the various styles then current in the Parisian grand opera, which 'gave to Naumbourg's work some international features and helped it to become widely known, and much liked and used' (Idelsohn) . - EJ 2008. Subjects: Synagogue music. OCLC lists 12 copies of this edition. Spine rebacked. Light chipping to title page; light edge wear; overall fresh and clean. Good condition. (GER-44-13)

In 1936 he settled in Tel Aviv where he served as director of Bet Mikhah Yosef (a municipal library based on his father's collection) . His writings in Hebrew and German include essays, literary criticism, and studies of folklore. He edited and published his father's writings. - 2008 EJ. Micha Josef Berdyczewski (Later: Bin-Gorion) (18651921) , Hebrew writer and thinker. Born in Medzibezh, Podolia, Berdyczewski was the descendant of a line of ? Asidic rabbis.
Berdyczewski wrote more than 150 Hebrew stories, many in Yiddish, and several in German. These stories deal with two central subjects: life in the Jewish towns of Eastern Europe in the last decades of the 19th century and the life of the Eastern European Jewish students in the cities of Central and Western Europe.
One of the most seminal figures in both modern Hebrew literature and Jewish thought, Berdyczewski exerted a subtle yet crucial influence upon many readers after the turn of the century because he embodied, both in his personality and in his writing, the painfully ambivalent attitudes toward both traditional Judaism and European culture shared by many Jewish intellectuals. Characteristically, Berdyczewski rebelled against his religious background, but could never completely reject it. - EJ 2008. Subjects: Berdichevsky, Micah Joseph, 1865-1921 - Bibliography.

A philosophical dictionary, Ozar ha-munnahim ha-Pilosofiyyim (4 vols. , 192833) , which contains the terminology of medieval religious philosophers. Compiled by Jacob Klatzkin (18821948) , author, philosopher, and Zionist. - EJ 2008. Jacob Klatzkin's Otzar ha-munahim ha-filosofiyyim. Thesaurus philosophicus linguae hebraicae (Berlin, 1928-1933) remains unsurpassed to this day. Its stated objective was to enlarge modern Hebrew vocabulary in the field of speculation and reflection by restoring to use the many terms and expressions coined by medieval Hebrew translators. The Thesaurus includes 3042 entries, some 1200 pages in four volumes, plus one volume of texts. Klatzkin read through a very large number of philosophical works in Hebrew, mainly in print but also in manuscript, and collected the philosophical terms occurring in them. His philosophical lexicon is conceived as a Thesaurus in the strict sense of the word. A typical entry for a term is constructed as follows: (i) the term (vocalized) ; (ii) a very brief definition (in Hebrew) ; (iii) equivalent terms in other languages (especially German, occasionally also English, French, Latin, or Greek) ; and, most importantly, (iv) significant text extracts, in which the term occurs; (v) eventually, a list of related terms to be looked up elsewhere in the Thesaurus. Where a given term has more than one meaning, its different meanings are carefully distinguished. The very judiciously and cleverly chosen text extracts make Klatzkin's Thesaurus into an exceptionally valuable research tool. For over 80 years Klatzkin's work has been the indispensable companion of any student of Jewish intellectual life. - Philosophic and Scientific Hebrew Terminology PESHAT.

The Mekhilta of Rabbi Simeon ben Yohai is a halakhic Midrash on Exodus from the school of R. Akiva , which is attributed to R. Simeon b. Yohai because of his exposition at the beginning of the book.
This Midrash was subsequently lost, and only portions were found by modern scholars. Meir Freidmann (Ish Shalom) was the first to collect the quotations from MS that were known in his time, and his list was augmented by a number of items by Hoffmann in his pioneering study of the tannaitic Midrashim. Israel Lewy then discovered that large portions of the Midrash had been cited by R. David ha-Adani in Midrashha-Gadol on Exodus, and Schechter published a few fragments from MS itself that he uncovered in the Cairo Genizah. The first edition of MS was published by Hoffmann (Frankfurt, 1905) , based on Midrash ha-Gadol and a small number of Genizah fragments identified by Schechter. - 2008 EJ.

Original Cloth. 8vo. 188, [1] pages. 24 cm. First edition. In German. History of the Jewish Reform movement from Mendelssohn to the Present. For many years considered the standard history in German on the Reform Movement. The author, Caesar Seligmann (18601950) , was leader of Liberal Judaism in Germany. Born in Landau, Seligmann was appointed preacher of the Liberal synagogue (Temple) in Hamburg in 1889, and from 1902 to 1939 he officiated as rabbi in Frankfurt. In 1910 he published for the Liberal synagogue (Western synagogue) a two-volume prayer book (Israelitisches Gebetbuch, 2nd ed. 1928) that was even more extreme than any proposed by the German Reform movement to that date. One of the founders of the Vereinigung fuer das liberale Judentum in 1910, he edited its organ, Liberales Judentum, which appeared from 1910 to 1922. In cooperation with I. Elbogen and H. Vogelstein, in 1929 he published the 'unified prayer book, ' restoring to the Liberal rite many traditional prayers which had been previously excluded. His other works include a collection of popular lectures, Judentum und moderne Weltanschauung (1905) , and a history of the Reform movement, Geschichte der juedischen Reformbewegung von Mendelssohn bis zur Gegenwart (1922) . When addressing the Liberal rabbis in Wiesbaden in 1937, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the rabbinical conference convened by A. Geiger, Seligmann advised his colleagues to become reconciled with Zionism. In 1939 he moved to London, where he lived until his death. His autobiography, Mein Leben. Erinnerungen eines Grossvaters, was written in 1941 but only one chapter was published. - EJ 2008. Attractively bound, with gilt title Subjects: Reform Judaism - History. Judaism - Doctrines.
