Collection of printed leaves – programs issued by German and Hungarian communities, listing the selichot to be recited on Yom Kippur. [Europe, 1916-1948].
In early machzorim, numerous selichot were printed for each prayer of Yom Kippur. Since the recital of all the selichot was not feasible, many communities would choose every year a number of selichot to be recited that year. The list of selected selichot was printed on handbills which they distributed to the members of the community. Occasionally, they would also include the schedule of Yom Kippur prayers, and some even printed the text of "El Melech Yoshev…" for convenience (the text of the El Melech prayer was not printed in the machzorim after each selichah, and the worshipper had to repeatedly leaf back to the page where it was printed).
The collection comprises the following orders of selichot:
• Printed leaf from the Moson community (Mosonmagyaróvár), 1916.
• Printed leaf from the Börneplatz synagogue, Frankfurt am Main, 1924. On verso – several Frankfurt customs for Yom Kippur, in German.
• Printed leaves from the Pressburg community, for 1926, 1934, 1936 (two different leaves), 1937 and 1938.
• Printed leaf from the Kehal Adat Yeshurun synagogue, Zurich, 1928.
• Printed leaves from the Beit Tefillah Yeshurun synagogue (community of R. Shimshon Refael Hirsch), Frankfurt am Main, 1932 and 1933.
• Printed leaf from the Pest community, Budapest, 1948.
• Six printed leaves, name of community not indicated, including: leaf for 1926, lithographed manuscript ("Order of Selichot and Prayer Schedule from Erev Rosh Hashana until Yom Kippur" – 2 copies); leaf for 1926, printed in Kunszentmiklós, close to Budapest; leaf for 1935; undated leaf, printed in Hamburg.
• Enclosed: printed leaf, order of lamentations for Tisha B'Av 1917 (the recital of lamentations that year may have been abridged due to WWI). With handwritten inscriptions, including: "Herrn Landrabbiner Dr. Gronemann" (R. Yitzchak Zelig Gronemann, Land Rabbi of Hanover, 1843-1918).
[19] leaves. Size and condition vary. Worming to some leaves, affecting text.
