Einhorn, Dr. David, Olat Tamid: Book of Prayers for Jewish Congregations, 1913, early printing of this new translation in English from the German original, hardcover, 7.5 x 5 inches, black cloth, gilt title. 166, 279 pp., preface by the translator, Ernst Hirsch, dated Chicago, 1896. A nice copy of an early printing of the English translation of this important early American Judaica book. Einhorn's siddur was one of the first printed in America to read from left to right, catering to the burgeoning Reform Movement. He was a radical in his time and fervently anti-slavery. Einhorn emigrated to the United States and was named on September 29, 1855, as the first rabbi of the Har Sinai Congregation in Baltimore. In that role, Einhorn formulated the Olat Tamid siddur for use in services, which became one of the models for the Union Prayer Book published in 1894 by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. Olat Tamid contrasted with Isaac Mayer Wise's Minhag America in particular by removing references to the status of Jews as a chosen people and eliminating references to the restoration of sacrificial services in the Temple.
