This book, published in Detroit in 1868, is a catechism designed to teach the basics of Judaism to children. Written in a question-and-answer format for ease of use by both students and teachers, it is considered possibly the first American-authored confirmand's guide, as others were translations from German. Rabbi Elias Eppstein, minister of Congregation Beth El in Detroit, authored the work, aiming for clarity and simplicity suitable for young learners. The book includes text in English, with some Hebrew and German.
