By translating Joseph Johlson’s Unterricht in der Mosaischen Religion (Frankfurt a/Main, 1819), Leeser sought to make available to the American public a modern Jewish schoolbook. This was Leeser’s first published book and was first published in 1830. See L. J. Sussman, Isaac Leeser and the Making of American Judaism (1995), pp. 67-70.
