Instruction in the Mosaic Religion


This book is the first English edition of a textbook on Jewish religious instruction for children. Translated from the German of J. Joholson by Isaac Leeser, it was published in Philadelphia in 1830. Leeser, then reader of the Portuguese Congregation Mikveh Israel, self-published the work after failing to find a local publisher. The book is dedicated to Leeser's uncle, Zalma Rehnie, of Richmond, Virginia.
