<<The first Rosh Hashanah Machzor translated into Russian.>>
This festival prayer-book “Translated for the First Time into the Russian Language,” as the title-page proclaims, was prepared by Joseph Hurwitz, a well-regarded poet who served as the Kazyonny Ravvin (Official Rabbi) of the city of Grodno, an office imposed upon the Jews by the Czarist government from 1857 to 1917.
