Heinrich Graetz endorses the future of Judaism in America in 1854

Here is an interesting 1854 letter from Heinrich Graetz to the Zion Collegiate Association, which was basically an American Jewish plan to establish schools to train Jewish ministers, or at least at this stage, a plan to establish such a school in connection with an American university.

As you can see, he writes that "no other land on the globe is as eminently qualified as the United States, to unfurl the grandeur, dignity, and sanctity of Judaism" because it is "the land of absolute liberty" and therefore it doesn't have to contend with prejudices and various other things, including the idea that such an institute would not be the "accommodating idol of any sect."

Printed in the American Israelite.

  1. Of course, one of the reasons why this area of Ohio has remained
    so persistently branded as a pocket of joblessness is its failure
    to recover from the death of the steel industry and also because of automotive production lines outsourced to foreign lands.

    He tells the tale of a young boy, a tot, who was riding a toy car near the railroad crossing.
    Indian business news tells about the facts that Indian market is most preferred by the foreign investors and also about various other factors like quick population growth, high economic growth, English knowledge etc.

  3. The advantage about the funny pictures is that you can watch them along with the family.

    therapy is the best solution which can be done by
    various ways by watching funny movies, by downlaoding some funny pictures

  4. I leave a response each time I like a article on a website or if I have
    something to contribute to the discussion. Usually it is a
    result of the passion communicated in the article I browsed.

    And on this post "Heinrich Graetz endorses the future of Judaism in America in 1854".
    I was actually excited enough to write a thought :-) I do have some questions for you if it's okay. Could it be simply me or do a few of these remarks look like they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I'd like to follow you.

    Could you list all of your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook
    page or linkedin profile?
