summary

Exceedingly Rare Early London Imprint of the Seder Avodah Our text of the Seder Ha’Avodah (a narration of the ritual that took place in the Second Temple on the Day of Atonement), is the version in use in Sephardic congregations and is traditionally attributed to Yosé ben Yosé (fourth or fifth century). Aschkenazic congregations have opted for a later narration of the Seder Avodah by the Italian-German poet Meshullam ben Kalonymus (tenth-eleventh century). See EJ, Vol. III, cols. 976-980; Vol. XVI, cols. 856-7
