Prayer offered up in the London Synagogue of the United Congregations. On Sabbath, the 10th of Kislev, 5624, for the success of Sir Moses Montefiore's mission to Morocco. [London]: Wertheimer & Co., [1863]. Hebrew and English.
A prayer for the success of Sir Moses Montefiore's mission to Morocco, in 1863, "to plead on behalf of those, who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to liberate those, who are enthralled in grievous bondage […] to hasten to the rescue of those, who have been condemned for injustice in their hands, who languish in the prison-house without there being evidence of guilt".
In 1863, Montefiore was asked to aid Jews from Safi, Morocco, who were accused of killing a Spanish citizen and sentenced to death. Montefiore met with the Sultan, Muhamad IV and demanded their release. The Sultan granted his request and even published an order promising his Jewish subject equality under the law.
