Early 20th century Baghdad was a bustling center of Jewish life, with Jews possibly comprising 40% of the population, or double New York City’s today. Renowned for its rabbis and entrepreneurs, Hakham Ezra Dangoor (1848-1930) excelled as both, serving as founder-proprietor of one of Baghdad’s most important Hebrew presses and its chief rabbi (1923-27/8). Dangoor published his own compositions as well as edited works, such as this Machzor or prayer book for the three pilgrimage festivals (Pesach, Sukkot, and Shavuot).
