Kos Yeshuoth, Cup of
Salvation; monthly Jewish Orthodox magazine, edited by the Rev. D.
M. Isaacs, and Mr. Moses Samuel, Vol. 1. No. 1, March 5606, A. M.,
Liverpool, 48 p. 8vo. Just as we were preparing the last sheet of our
present number for press, we received the first number of the new Jewish
monthly magazine, announced some time ago both by advertisement and notice
in our pages. The title fully explains the object of the learned editors,
which is, to diffuse knowledge respecting the true orthodox principles of
our religion. The contents of the number before us are: 1. Address to our
Brethren of the House of Israel; 2. Lecture on Truth, by the Rev. D. M.
Isaacs ; 3. Monosyllable roots, intended to prove the original form of all
Hebrew roots to have consisted of but one syllable; 4. and 5. Stanzas, by
E. L. S.; 6. Talmudical morality; 7. and 8. Hebrew poetry, with English
translations; 9. Aid to poor Israelites; 10. On the necessity of
Understanding our Prayers; 11. On the establishment of Normal Schools for
Teachers; 12. The Daughters or Israel, Hebrew, with English translation;
13. The Three Friends, from the French of Ben Levi; 14. Liverpool Literary
Hebraic Association; 15. Good Sayings from good Authors; 16. Foreign
Intelligence. We find our space too much occupied this month to give any
detailed opinion upon this new applicant for public favour; but we hope
that the editors may be enabled to supply such materials as the Israelites
require, and that they may meet with adequate support in their laborious
undertaking. We mean to give the work a candid review when it has
progressed farther. In the mean time we call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of the Rev. S. M. Isaacs on the cover; and we offer
ourself to act as agent for Philadelphia, and should be happy to send some
names to the list of subscribers.
Dias’ Letters. The
Rev. H. Highton, of Rugby, England, has commenced a review of Mr. Dias’
Letters in the Voice of Israel, conversion paper; but as he has merely
commenced, and not yet come to the principal points in dispute, we defer a
reply to a later period. In the mean while we thank the reverend gentleman
for his candour in approving of our giving currency to this excellent
work, which has so long lain dormant.
