Solomon Henry Jackson, New York: 1826.
The First Hebrew Prayer-Book Printed in America.
Solomon Henry Jackson, the first Jewish printer in New York, possessed both English and Hebrew type fonts and thus was the first to print bilingual Hebrew matter in America. Undoubtedly, his most important work was this prayer-book, the crown jewel of early American Hebrew printing.
Jackson (d. 1847) was active in several New York congregations and a supporter of the Chevrath Chinuch Ne'arim Jewish Educational Society. For more concerning his life, see A.J. Karp, Beginnings: Early American Judaica (1975) p. 38-41.
