| The
1662 Book of Common Prayer was translated into Hebrew by C Czerskier,
a Jewish convert, in 1830, and revised in 1836 by Alexander McCaul,
Michael S Alexander (later Bishop of Jerusalem), and Johann Christian
Reichardt. The intent of this volume was to help convert Jews
to Christianity, and it was used for that purpose both in London
and in Jerusalem. It was reprinted several times through 1859;
the text given here is the 1836 revision, which appears in David
Griffiths' Bibliography of the Book of Common
Prayer as 51:3. This is essentially the only Hebrew translation
made of most of the BCP (this translation omits the Psalter and
Ordinal). More
information on this book and Hebrew translations in general may
be found in William Muss-Arnolt's
The Book of Common Prayer
among the Nations of the World.
Because the
text is in Hebrew, it is presented here as PDF graphics in a
