Israelitisches Gebetbuch für die öffentliche Andacht des ganzen Jahres, by Rabbi dr Manuel Joël, checked by prof. dr Jakob Guttmann, Rabbi of the Jewish Community, Breslau, 1897.

Thirteen-year-old Alfred Neuländer received this book containing prayers covering the liturgical year as a gift for his bar mitzvah, a ceremony marking the transition into adulthood and the assumption of religious responsibilities. The book includes commentaries by local liberal rabbis Manuel Joël and Jakob Guttmann. The New Synagogue, where Alfred’s ceremony took place, is depicted on the dedication page inserted into the prayer book.
