 Rare American Reform Liturgies Available on the HUC-JIR Website The HUC-JIR Library has the world's largest collections of both antiquarian American Judaica and Reform liturgy. To increase access to our collection of rare and fragile American Reform Liturgies, the Library has begun to scan important works and post them on our website. The inaugural work is Minhag Amerika, compiled by Isaac Meyer Wise. We have posted the revised edition published in 1872 by the Bloch Publishing Company, Cincinnati. The next work will be the Union Prayerbook, published by the Central Conference of American Rabbis in1892. Look for it and other forthcoming digital projects at www.huc.edu/libraries/exhibits. Founded in 1875, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion is the nation's oldest institution of higher Jewish education and the academic, spiritual, and professional leadership development center of Reform Judaism. HUC-JIR educates men and women for service to American and world Jewry as rabbis, cantors, educators, and communal service professionals, and offers graduate and post-graduate programs to scholars of all faiths. With centers of learning in Cincinnati, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York, HUC-JIR's scholarly resources comprise renowned library and museum collections, the American Jewish Archives, biblical archaeology excavations, research institutes and centers, and academic publications. HUC-JIR invites the community to an array of cultural and educational programs which illuminate Jewish history, identity, and contemporary creativity and which foster interfaith and multiethnic understanding.
