Ma'amadot, according to the entry under Seder Hama'amadot
in the Encyclopedia of Jewish Prayer (Nulman) is:
"Separate sections of scriptural, mishnaic, and talmudic selections
for each day of the week, recited after the Shaharit service.
These recitals have their origin in the Temple days...The custom
of these recitals was retained after
the destruction. Reading portions of the Mishnah and Talmud
dealing with the sacrifices was added as well, and each day's recital was
followed by different supplications...
Based on LC's collection, the Maamadot are published together with Psalms. None of LC's MARC records bring out the Ma'amadot in the subjects, although one record provides a 730 Seder Ma'amadot for the text itself. For your work, I would also suggest a descriptive access point, and the addition of the subject "Judaism--Liturgy--Texts." There should be a topical heading of the pattern "TYPE OF LITURGY--Liturgy--Texts," in accordance with SCM H 2190, but we will have to give that some further thought.
LC's Hebraica Team is currently reconsidering the treatment
of several liturgical works. In the past, it had been the practice
to assign "UNIFORM TITLE--Liturgy--Texts" for those
cases in which a suitable topical heading
was not readily available, however, this practice
is not authorized (e.g., 630
00 Zemirot$xLiturgy$xTexts).
Instead, we are trying to develop appropriate topical headings.
The uniform title of the work should only
be assigned as a
subject access point if the item in
hand is or includes a commentary or criticism of the liturgical
work.
Lenore
Clarification regarding Ma'amadot. This is an individual work
of readings alongside the formal liturgy,
published in many
editions. For that reason it is preferable not to
assign the subject, Judaism--Liturgy--Texts, but rather
Jewish devotional
calendars, although in pre-AA2, we used the uniform title: Jews.
Liturgy and ritual. Readings. Ma'amadot. We do have the call no.
BM675.R44 which we will continue to assign for this particular
work.
Theodore Wiener
According to Ted Wiener, the local LC liturgical specialist,
"Ma'amadot" is not a term describing a fixed, canonical set
of
texts, but is a more general term describing a type of
text. As such it should not be established
as a uniform title. LC
practice, according to Ted, is
to enter works containing "ma'amadot" under
editor or title proper; the subject heading
assigned is "Jewish devotional calendars" and the classification
is BM724. Joan
