Gesänge zum Gebrauche beim Gottesdienst der Reform-Gemeinde "Keneseth Israel" zu Philadelphia

This is a German-language hymnal published in Philadelphia in 1856 for use in the Keneseth Israel Reform Congregation. Containing 28 folios, it includes hymns for various Jewish holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atseret, Passover, Shavuot, Sabbath), lifecycle events (weddings, confirmations), and general religious themes. The hymns appear to be drawn from earlier sources, particularly the work of Joseph Johlson. The hymnal represents an early example of Jewish liturgical music published in the United States and reflects the evolving practices of Reform Judaism in Philadelphia.
