Manuscript, prayers for cantor and gabbai, with "Yizkor" lists – names of deceased community members. [England and St. Kilda (suburb of Melbourne), Australia], 1740s-1840s.

Composed of two manuscripts bound together: The earlier one was apparently written in England in 1836 (based on the calendars, see below), and contains prayers for the cantor and gabbai – order of Torah reading and Haftarah, text of "Mi Sheberach", prayer for "HaNoten Teshu'ah" in honor of William IV – King of the United Kingdom, and his wife Queen Adelaide, text of "Hazkarat Neshamot" including the list of rabbis of London and the United Kingdom, order of shofar blowing, blessings for the Megillah, Kiddush for the three festivals, as well as calendars for the years 1836-1839. At its beginning – laws of Torah reading.
The above manuscript was bound inside a notebook from a later period, with additional prayers, and with lists of deceased from the St. Kilda community, from the second half of the 19th century. At the beginning of the notebook (on its left side), a dedication inscription to the St. Kilda Hebrew Congregation, dated to 1873 (English).
