summary

A most valuable source-book for the history of Frankfurt Jewry. Records the ritual customs distinct to the Community, as well as liturgical questions and issues relating to education and morality. Also records Christian holidays and the civil calendar. Hahn’s grandson, R. Joseph Kashman authored a similar compendium of German custom, entitled Noheg KaTzon Yoseph.
