YOKHEVED
FUN HALICH HOFMAN
She was the author of prayer book of
poetry for women in archaic Yiddish, entitled Seyder tkhines ubekoshes mihaisha hatsanua vehakhaside (Common
prayer book and supplications for the unassuming and pious woman). These prayers for women go back conceivably to
early nineteenth century. They excel in
their lyrical tone. The most beautiful
among them is “Ribon haolamim” (Master of the universe), intoned at the end of
the Sabbath.
