Avodath Yisrael - The Order of Prayer for the Israelitish Divine Service on Every Day in the Year. Revised and Translated by Benjamin Szold.

<<First appearance of the Szold prayer-book with an English translation.>> “Rabbi Benjamin Szold’s prayerbook in German and Hebrew first published in 1864 was relatively conservative in its approach to reforming the liturgy - certainly by comparison with the work of Einhorn, Wise, or Merzbacher. Later Szold issued a second edition, this time in English and Hebrew, with his own translation, further revised by Marcus Jastrow, the rabbi at Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, who also made some retranslations and H. Hochheimer, the rabbi at Oheb Israel in Baltimore. Known henceforth as “Jastrow-Szold” or “Szold-Jastrow,” it was embraced by reform-bound congregations of a cautious bent that were less ready than others for more thoroughgoing revisions.” N.W.
