<p>Handwritten cookbook by Lea Moses, née Rath (1880, Kempen - probably 1940, Winterswijk). </p>
<p> Lea Moses was the wife of Hermann Moses (1877, Laurenzberg - 1943 Auschwitz), who was a butcher in Eschweiler and active in the Eschweiler Jewish community.<br /></p>
<p> In June 1939 the couple fled to Winterswijk, Netherlands. Hermann Moses was deported from the Westerbork collection camp to Auschwitz in 1942, where he was murdered on January 26, 1943. It is assumed that his wife Lea (born Lea(h) Rath on December 8, 1880 in Kempen) most likely died in the Netherlands.<br /></p>
<p> Their daughter (Julie) Luise/Louise Hes, née Moses (1915-2014), emigrated with her husband, the cantor Walter Hes (1915-2016), via Liverpool to the USA in 1940 and lived in New York.<br /></p>

<p> “Yankov Glatshteyn (1895-1942) was born in Lublin, he hailed from a prominent musical and literary family: son of the Lublin city cantor, R. Moyshele Glatshteyn; cousin of the poet Yankev Glatshteyn; and younger brother of the musician and choir director Yoysef-Shloyme Glatshteyn. He received a traditional Jewish education. In his early youth, he was a choir boy at his father’s synagogue. During the years of WWI, he left for Warsaw. There, with the help of his brother, he perfected his musical talents. He worked as a singing teacher in the Yehudiya secondary school in Warsaw. He rapidly became a prolific composer of music for Yiddish workers’ and children’s songs. In the early 1920s he won a prize from Tsisho (Central Jewish School Organization) for writing music for Yiddish songs. He worked as a teacher of singing in the Warsaw Tsisho schools, director of school children’s choruses, and he directed the choruses of the Bundist youth organization “Tsukunft” (Future). For many years, he labored indefatigably to inculcate in Jewish school children and youths the culture of song, the aesthetic sensibility for beautiful sound and melody, and he was therefore very popular among Warsaw Jewish working youth. He wrote treatises on music and song for Grininke beymelekh (Little green trees) in Vilna, Folkstsaytung (People’s newspaper) in Warsaw, and other youth, school, and music publications. He acquired among laboring circles and then compiled a collection of popular labor and folksongs, with notation for singing and playing: Di fraye muze (1918. His performances with youth choruses throw light on the endeavors of Warsaw workers and cultural and school organizations.</p>
<p> He stayed in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. He experienced extremely difficult times. He lived in dire straits. His wife died in the ghetto of typhus, and he had to take care of his small child by himself. In 1940 he wrote a letter to his cousins Yankev and Mortkhe Glatshteyn in New York, saying that if they were able to rescue him, they should at least move to rescue his highly talented son who had already made a name for himself in the musical world, and a great musical future had been predicted for him as a piano virtuoso. He carried on his musical activities in the ghetto in the realm of chorus singing and mass declamation and arranged concerts in an auditorium of the Warsaw Judaic Library. He composed a melody for Yitskhok Katsenelson’s poem “Aroys in gezangen a yid af der gas” (Out goes a Jew into the street to sing), published in Dror-tsaytung (Freedom newspaper) in 1940. He was murdered together with his son at Treblinka.”<br /></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(156, 0, 0);">(RABBI'S HANDBOOK).</span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(156, 0, 0);">MANUSCRIPT </span>written in Hebrew and German. A pencil inscription on the inner cover reads: “Moshe Politcher 8 Elul 5649 (4 September 1889).” Lists of names.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">pp. 28. Previous owner’s embossed stamp, dampstained. Loose in original boards, broken. 8vo.<br /></span>c. 1889-91</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> A manuscript prepared by a performer of weddings, funerals, and circumcisions. Such clergymen were often called a Kol Bo, or “All-In-One, ” as such rabbis occupied a particular niche, in America especially. Many were not ordained rabbis at all, however lack of uniform standards and without the formal rabbinic position as existed in Europe, anyone who could pass as knowledgeable, had only to advertise his services. Many of these ‘Jewish-ceremony-performers’ skirted the issue of how ‘rabbinic’ they actually were, by using the title ‘Reverend.’</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> The compiler of this volume appears to have been on the more knowledgeable part of the spectrum, as careful attention is paid by him to the details of Jewish law. Moreover, it is written in a variety of florid and attractive scripts, as one familiar with writing Hebrew.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> The book begins with a generic text of a ketubah for use in a Jewish weddings, both the Aramaic and a German translation, according to the text that appears in Sepher Kerem Shlomo (Pressburg, 1846) by Rabbi Shlomo Haas of Dreznitz.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> Following this are 13 Dinim, laws of the marriage ceremony. Interestingly, this text is not taken from another code, but appears to be the summary of the necessary laws by the author himself.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> The next section are the prayers and blessings recited in the wedding ceremony. This is written in a fine Hebrew hand similar to that used in Torah scrolls, but pointed, for ease of reading. After this is the Birkhat HaMazon used at the end of the wedding feast.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> Following which is a section for death and funeral rites.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p> Coming full circle, the final section resumes with the cycle of life, the prayers and blessings at a Circumcision, and the Pidyon Haben redemption ceremony for firstborn sons.</p>
