Jonas Ennery
Jonas Ennery (Jan. 2, 1801, Nancy - May 19, 1863, Brussels) was a French deputy. He was for twenty-six years attached to the Jewish school of Strasbourg, of which he became the head. In collaboration with Hirth, he compiled a "Dictionnaire Général de Géographie Universelle" (4 vols., Strasburg, 1839–41), for which Cuvier wrote a preface. Soon afterward he published "Le Sentier d'Israël, ou Bible des Jeunes Israélites" (Paris, Metz, and
Israélite" (Prayers and Meditations for Every Situation and Occasion of Life; Jonas Ennery and Rabbi Arnaud Aron, Strasbourg: 1848), "Prayers and Meditations for Every Situation and Occasion of Life" (English translation by Hester Rothschild, 1855), and "Stunden der Andacht" (Fanny Neuda, 1855). By the end of the 19th century, Reform movement prayerbooks in Germany and the United States began integrating these supplemental prayers and meditations into their prayerbooks for egalitarian use. Collections of tkhines in Yiddish are still printed
