Customs and regulations relating to prayers as conducted in the synagogue in Darmstadt. Contains interesting customs indicating the German emphasis on synagogue decorum. For example, the “yasher koach” (thank you) to the kohanim for their blessings on holidays should not be called out by anyone except for the official synagogue representatitve. Kohanim should not change their shoes or boots prior to the blessings in the synagogue, this must be done outside (see paragraphs 17-19)
