November 21, 1825 The Prayer Book of The Reformed Society of Israelites, of Charleston, South Carolina, is one of the rarest, as well as one of the most interesting documents, relating to the development of Judaism in America. Unknown except from secondary sources to recent writers, it is the earliest Reform Prayer Book printed in this country, and throws an interesting light on early Reformed American Judaism. Persistent research has brought to light only two imperfect copies, by combining which, this reprint has been made possible. The original bears the date 1830. Whether there was an earlier edition, the Editor is unable to say with certainty - probably there was. It is well worth preserving to posterity. The story of the Reformed Society of Israelites has been told in detail in the Editor's volume: The Jews of South Carolina, pp. 147-165, and in an article in the Literary Supplement to The American Hebrew, Dec. 7, 1906. He has there shown, contrary to all previous statements, that the Charleston Movement of 1824 was not an indigenous Movement, but was directly dependent upon a similar Movement that had taken place in Germany a few years before - now popularly known as the Hamburg Movement. The Prayer Book of the Reformed Society of Israelites, however, has nothing in common with the one published for the use of the Hamburg Temple in 1819.
