Ethics, laws and customs in Yiddish. Intended for women who could not read Hebrew. The Author discusses manners and etiquette in the context of German Jewish life and emphasized the joys of living. To promote the joy, the author included poems and folk songs for all occasions accompanied by their musical notation.
