Machzor shel Pesach - Form of Prayers for the Feast of Passover.

(AMERICAN JUDAICA).

Henry Frank

New York

1856

According to the Custom of the German and Polish Jews. Hebrew with English translation.

THE FIRST ASCHKENAZIC PESACH MACHZOR PRINTED IN AMERICA. Issued alongside a volume for Shavu’oth and Sukoth, this “completes the separate German and Polish liturgies begun in 1854” (Goldman 43.) Based upon the celebrated Wolf Heidenheim edition, this prayer book was issued by the Jewish printing establishment of Henry (Chaim) Frank of New York, thus enabling the newly rising community of Aschkenazic American Jews to conduct services according to their own custom, as opposed to that of the Sephardic rite.
