Ashkenazic Jews were among the last Europeans to take family names. Some German-speaking Jews took last names as early as the 17th century, but the overwhelming majority of Jews lived in Eastern Europe and did not take last names until compelled to do so. The process began in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1787 and ended in Czarist Russia in 1844.
Rabbi Reuvain Mendlowitz, has recently released the book, “Inside Stam: A Complete Buyer’s Guide”. This sefer, as its name implies, is an unprecedented and outstanding presentation of all Sta”m related issues. Among the topics covered is the purchase of tefillin, the manufacturing of klaf, the construction of battim, along with detailed explanations on where mezuzos are needed (and where they’re not!) and this all done by answering in great details dozens of the most popular STA”M questions that people ask. There is also a Sefer Torah buyer’s guide even.

Question #1: As a child in shul, I noticed that shortly before the Shemoneh esrei was begun, some of the older European Jews would wait before reciting the words “Shirah chadasha” until the chazzan completed the entire beracha and said “Ga’al Yisrael.” They would answer “Amen” to the chazzan’s beracha, then complete the beracha themselves and begin the Shemoneh esrei. I no longer see anyone doing this. Were they following a correct procedure?
