Hebrew Prayer Book for Rosh Ha-Shanah
Though the binding has the name S. Cohen, the scribe of this beautifully written Jewish prayer book is unknown. Containing just 7 leaves of text written on vellum, this small prayer book contains selected prayers for use during the High Holy Days. With sparse decoration within, it is the faith and meaning held in the words that shines.
The Royal No.10 Cook Book
The Adath Joseph Sisterhood of St. Joseph, Missouri was a Jewish Ladies Auxilary in the nation's breadbasket. This recipe compilation is undated, but based on the Arts & Crafts design on the cover, printing fonts, and presence of vintage Schlitz and Budweiser beer ads, we can assume The Royal No. 10 Cook Book was published in the second decade of the 20th century, predating the Prohibition era.
