Description

Warum trauert das Vaterland? Eine Predigt, gehalten bei dem Trauergottesdienste am 14. August 1859 wegen Ablebens des hochseligen Königs Oscar I. gesegneten Andenkens von Dr. L. Lewysohn, Rabbiner der Israelitischen Gemeinde zu Stockholm [“Why is the Fatherland Mourning? Sermon preached at the Funeral Service on the 14th August 1859 for His Majesty King Oscar I, of blessed memory, by Dr. L. Lewysohn, Rabbi of the Israelite Community of Stockholm.”]

summary

The fact that the Rabbi’s sermon was preached in German and not in Swedish, would seem to indicate the immigrant status of the Swedish Jewish community, which consisted for the most part of recent transplants from Germany
