"Tekhines, a Yiddish word from the Hebrew Te?innot, "supplications," are Jewish private devotions and paraliturgical prayers in Yiddish written by both women and men but recited primarily by women. As texts in the vernacular, tekhines are important sources for the history of popular Judaism in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, and they are particularly useful in studying the history of women's religion." - Chava Weissler, Encyclopedia*C0m. This Tekhine anthology, by one of the most important US Jewish publishers of its time, contains many original prayers for Jewish immigrant women including World War One soldiers' safety, Shabbos candle lighting for working woman, and honoring the memory of Titanic victims Ida and Isador Straus. First edition of this fascinating glimpse into the lives and concerns of Jewish-American Yiddish-speaking women early in the twentieth century. ; [2], iv, 314 pages.
