Detail Description
Baer's greatest achievement lay in the field of liturgy. His many editions of liturgical texts, in which he followed the example and standards set by Heidenheim, were not only a scholarly feat but added dignity and decorum to Orthodox synagogue services throughout Western Europe, where his editions gained great popularity. The most important of these is his Avodat Yisrael prayer book with a scholarly commentary Yakhin Lashon (1868, several times reprinted, the latest in 1937) which has been accepted as the standard prayer book text by most subsequent editions of the siddur. Besides this major work, Baer edited: Selihot, Kinot, Seder ha-Berakhot (1858), a handbook for mourners, cemetery use, etc., in three versions (Toze'ot Hayyim, 1862; Sefer Gemilut Hasadim, 1880; Derekh la-Hayyim, 1926); Tikkun ha-Sofer ve-ha-Kore, a handbook for scribes and readers of the Torah (1875); a prayer book Tefillat Yesharim (1876, with prayers in German at the end; these also appeared separately as Kol Bat Ziyyon, 18753); Piyyutim (1874); Divrei ha-Berit, circumcision service (1874). Most of these texts are accompanied by a German translation, and some are in two versions for the western and eastern Ashkenazi rites. These handsome little books ran into several editions and were reprinted after World War II.
Baer's only venture into the realm of practical halakhah, a handbook for shohatim (Zivhei Zedek, 1857, with a Yiddish translation; 1862 with a German one), was severely criticized by S. B. Bamberger, chiefly on the grounds that Baer was not an ordained rabbi. Baer also edited Sefer Yesod ha-Yirah (Kobez al Jad, 11 (1895), 1–29).
