summary

The author, a synagogue officient in Pressburg, offers Jewish women practical halachic guidance in the areas most concerning them. Appended to the book are several "Sipurei Musar / Moralische Erzehlungen" (Moralistic Stories). It carries the approbation of the famed Chatham Sopher of Pressburg who derides the fact that women of late have "traded in books of ethics and piety for books of lust and levity." The word "Machaneh" in the title is an acronym for M'elichah, Ch'alah, N'idah, H'adlakah
