Two Bound Books by Rabbi Isidor Kalisch: Sepher Yezirah and A Sketch of the Talmud
Two bound books published in 1877 by L.H. Frank, located at 32 1/2 Bowery. The first book is a Hebrew and English translation of *Sepher Yezirah* (Book of Creation), possibly the first such translation published in English in the United States. The second book is *A Sketch of the Talmud*. Rabbi Isidor Kalisch, a liberal German-trained rabbi, is identified as the author of both. Kalisch served congregations in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Leavenworth (Kansas), Detroit, Newark, and Nashville. *Sepher Yezirah* is considered the foundational text of Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah).
