Cross-tradition
- Islamic isnād practiceDedicatory transmission chains in Islamic hadith literature share cross-tradition congruence with Talmudic dedications as formal acknowledgements of the lineage through which authoritative teaching is passed.
- Vedantic paramparāThe Vedantic institution of paramparā — formal invocation of the teacher-lineage before sacred instruction — shows cross-tradition congruence with the Talmudic dedicatory framing of received oral wisdom.

TO THE PRESIDENT OF "TEMPLE ISRAEL," NEW YORK,
DANIEL P. HAYS, ESQ.
In consideration that through his influence, this Congregation is the first and unique among the reformed to establish a Succah in connection with their Temple, the Editor takes much pleasure in dedicating the tract which treats about the Succah, to him, to the Rabbi, and all the associates who took part in introducing same.
Very respectfully,
MICHAEL L. RODKINSON,
New York, Tuesday פּסח שני, April 25th, 1899.
