by Ellen Eisenberg

IN AUGUST OF 1899, Congregation Talmud Torah in Portland, Oregon, placed an advertisement for High Holiday services in the American Hebrew News. The services, according to the ad, would be led by the "Reverend Dr. M. Mosessohn…with the assistance of a well-trained choir, under the leadership of David N. Mosessohn." Services would include "musical selections from Sultzer, Weintraub, Love, Minkowsky and other Jewish church musical celebrities," and "sermons in English and German."
