Kurzfassung:
Preachers of the Galician progressive synagogues customarily taught religion to the Jewish youth frequenting the secondary schools (gymnasia). One of the components of the religious instruction were sermons (called egzorta – exhortation). Their introduction to the educational practice was a complex process in which the progressive synagogues played an important role. Already in the late 1860s (Krakow) and 1880s (Lwow) first such sermons were delivered but they only became more common around the turn of the century. One of the most important authors of the sermons to the Jewish youth was Samuel W. Guttman, the preacher of the Lviv Tempel. In 1901 he published a volume entitled Bikkurim containing 17 sermons. His preachings were usually based on the Torah portion (parasha) which served as a starting point to present to the youth the ethical and moral teachings. The article contains a detailed analysis of the sermon’s form and content (typical motives and values which were taught to the youth) which was performed using digital tools (voyant).
