Title translates as "Tractate Derech Eretz HaHadashah ['The New Way of the Land']: With Rashi's commentary and additions: A small Machzor, including a Passover Haggadah according to the American version, Akademot .: New Booklet."The Hebrew term derech erets translates literally as, "the way of the land." Meaning either what people tend to do or what people ought to do.In common speech, derech erets means acting courteously and with respect, particularly towards parents, elders and teachers. This third edition of Abraham Kotler's parody of Jewish immigrant life in the United States, structured as a Talmud text, has two added sections, a parody Haggadah titled "Machzor Katan," as well as a parody Machzor for Purim and year round. The Pesach Hagadah and piyyutim are written in a comedic style on the lives of Jews in America, "With an akdamot piyyut against the Reform Rabbi Dr. [Isaac Mayer] Wise of Cincinnati." "And now that we have come to America we are all chachamim, we are all nevonim, we are all zekenim, we are commanded to count shekels and all who do so generously, harei zeh meshubach.Baruch Columbus which revealed America to the Jewish people.all the horse-thieves are appointed heads of communities, all the shaved ones are placed above the bimah - all these are provided for from tzedakah.". Abraham Kotler (died 1943), "a Lithuanian born author, immigrated to America in 1888. Kotler first lived in the city of Sharon, Pennsylvania and later settled in Cleveland, Ohio.His most concentrated efforts were devoted to working in a bookstore that became a type of center for all interest in Hebrew books and a place for secular discussions between wise students in the city. Kotler was a pioneer of Hebrew parody and satire in America. In his work Masechet Derech Eretz HaChadasha [this work] he ridicules immigrant life in America in the form of gemara with commentary by 'Rashi' and 'Tosofot.' The text contains seven separate chapters each on a different subject of immigrant life in America. The seven chapters deal with topics ranging from how new immigrants are treated in America, the importance of money in the New World, the willingness to give up certain Jewish observances in America, the beginnings of assimilation and celebrations of secular holidays in their new home, and how many Americans seem to be egocentric individuals. Kotler's parody.was.reprinted in 1927 in Tel Aviv. In this printing he made a few additions. It no longer was only a Talmud Parody entitle Masechet Derech Eretz HaChadasha, but now it also contained a parody on the Passover hagadah titled Machzor Katan, and a section titled Yalkut Chadash, which contains articles, songs, and words of humor for Purim and all year" (Sarah Smiley, An Annotated Translation of Masechet Derech Eretz HaChadasha, 2010). SUBJECT(S): Parodies, Hebrew. Satire, Hebrew. Hebrew wit and humor. OCLC: 41894688. Ex-library, very good and stable copy. Good+ Condition (BK) (YID-48-116-CCEL-'xmgg).
