Overview

Excerpt from Shabtot H The want of domestic Sabbath reading, such as is calculated to instruct and to edify, has been so long and so strongly felt in the Jewish community, that no apologetic remarks are required for the introduction of this volume. In the house of divine worship, the law of God is read in the original and sacred tongue, ac cording to ancient custom, but many, alas! Are not conversant with the Hebrew language - it is recited, but not propounded. In some synagogues, pulpit in struction is exceedingly scarce, whilst in others the pulpit is entirely mute; not to mention, that circum stances may occasionally preclude attendance at the house of God. But even the regular attendant feels anxious to devote some part of the sacred day to earnest reflection; and after six days of worldly labour and anxiety, longs for the Day of Rest, when he may, in calmness and repose, think of higher, nobler, and more lasting objects; he also stands in need of such occupation during the remainder of the day as will tend to his mental refreshment, and consecrate it a Day of the Lord.
