Description		    Maskilic parody on Jewish education in the heder by Levi Reuben Zimlin with the emendations by Ephraim Deinard. Zimlin portrays the faults and the troubles of the melammedim, and give an idea of the low esteem in which they were held. The title page describes it as being according to the custom of the Jews of Lita, Polin, Russia, Galicia, and Rumania. In order that the Haggadah should not be like a riddle without interpretation he has added a commentary entitled Lehem Oni. There are several introductory remarks in place of approbations from Abraham Be’er Gutleber, Moses Leib Lilienblom, Ephraim Deinard, and Aryeh Leib Gordon. Next are several cautions in place of those commonly found in Hebrew books of the period, such as the first which states that wherever it says ba’alei battim the intent is not on those who lived inearlier times in Israel but on those alive today, this in place on the warning against interpreting akum to mean contemporary gentiles. Others are to the author, to the pen, and to the reader, and to melammdim. Written in the form of the Pesah Haggadah Haggadah le-Melammedim begins with the laws of the month of Nissan, instructing that all who acdept upon themselves to be a melammed (teacher of small children) or teacher, and all who think to become a melammed, should fast Mondays, Thursdays,a nd Mondays, erev Shabbat, Jahrzeit, for small children whose brothers’ died because of milah, for his brother’s wife who was not contemporary with him, and all who fast and starve themselves, this is praiseworthy. The annotation in Lehem Oni states that he has found in a manuscriopt that an elderly melammed was accustomed to fast from the day after Purim until Pesah in order to eat mazah with great appetite, and that this is a good custom. When he died they said about him that he was a zaddik, pious, a fool, and a hediot. After the Haggadah section are wondrous tales.
