Liturgy for Rosh ha-Shannah following the custom of Ashkenaz with commentary.
Jeremiah Heinemann (1778–1855), German writer, educator, and communal leader. From 1808 to 1813 he was a member of the Jewish consistory of Westphalia and from 1825 to 1831 was principal of a school in Berlin. Heinemann was one of the last of the German maskilim in the tradition of the Me'assefim and Moses Mendelssohn, who sought to adapt Jewish life in Germany to modern times.
In 1817 he founded and edited the eight volumes of Jedidja, a periodical of Jewish studies in German (1817–31), which appeared in a new series in 1839–41 and later as Allgemeines Archiv des Judenthums (1842–43). His Hebrew commentary to the Torah, Be'ur la-Talmid, was published in a new edition of the Pentateuch along with Mendelssohn's translation (1831–33). His publications include a collection of articles and letters written by and to Mendelssohn, books on Judaism and Jewish education, a German translation of Isaiah, and essays on the legal and cultural status of the Jews of Prussia.
