Description		    Piyyutim and Pizmonim (songs and hymns) for the huppah, havdalah, and milah, according to the custom of the Cochin Jews. This edition has explanation of terms and annotations from Naphtali Eliahu Rahabi. The volume begins with an introduction explaining the customs of betrothal and huppah and concluding with an explanation of the terms in the ketubbah. At the end of the volume are the benedictions for the marriage ceremony in English, concluding with the verses, If I forget thee, O Jerusalem . . .” (Psalms 137:5). The text of Hupat Hatanim is printed in a large, clear, attractive, vocalized Hebrew, the glosses in a smaller square font.

In addition to editing this work, Naphtali Eliahu Rahabi (Raby), (1863–1951), “white” Jewish scholar of Cochin, was the author of Divrei Yemei ha-Yehudim be-Cochin (History of the Jews of Cochin; Sasson Ms. 268), and of Toledot Beit Rahabi be-Cochin (History of the Rahabi Family), both unpublished. Like many Cochin leaders, Rahabi had strong Zionist sympathies.
