Philadelphia, March 8th, 1893.
Rev. Dr. Alexander Kohut
My dear Sir:
Doubtless you know that while Daily and Sabbath prayers are very much alike in all rituals, they differ very greatly on special occasions, as on [Hebrew] I mean, regarding poetical compositions. The same marked distinction I notice in the [Hebrew]. By consulting the [Hebrew] of the [Hebrew] you will discover that the author of the introduction [Hebrew] seems to have wished to go through the whole alphabet, though [Hebrew] look like an interpolation. However, the writer stopped short at the [Hebrew], but neither this method is new and peculiar What follows [Hebrew] is in each case allusive to historical occurrences, according to the number of the day of the festival. The [Hebrew] do not possess any of the great merits which other poetical effusions of the Sephardic [Hebrew] confessedly have. In some instances, they appear as if issued from the pen of a Balir.
What leads me to think that [Hebrew] should not be credited with the authorship of our [Hebrew] is the following observations. In some preliminary remarks, I find [Hebrew] and further on it reads thus [Hebrew] If [Hebrew] had written the [Hebrew] or part thereof, would it not be likely that [Hebrew] might have alluded to that circumstance? Moreover, from all accounts the style of [Hebrew] is plain, not allowing such obscure play of words as [Hebrew]
Curious it is that the Italian ritual ([Hebrew]) has not any [Hebrew] during the six days of [Hebrew] but on [Hebrew] there are quite a large number differing altogether from the [Hebrew]. [Hebrew]
Yours truly,
