Charleston Reform and Sabbath Observance: A Critical Commentary

Description

A satirical letter commenting on the reforms in a Charleston synagogue, specifically criticizing the apathy of the congregation during Sabbath services and contrasting it with the more active involvement of the women in the Sunday school. The author praises the reformers for clarifying the fourth commandment but criticizes the use of English in services, suggesting it leads to boredom. The letter ends with a request for publication in Leeser's publication.
