Excerpt from Religious Revival: A Sermon Preached in the Reform Synagogue at Bradford, on Saturday, May 29th, 1897 It is not all the same whether we get: our notions of the Divine Being, through Christianity or through Judaism. Those who have had their religious faculties awakened through the medium of Christianity, have a far harder struggle than we before they can realize that exalted truth which is the watchword of all true religion, namely, the love of God. I mention these things, my brethren, in order to accentuate the fact that the Jewish Religion is a heritage of rare and exceptional spiritual value. Many Jewish people are quite insensible to the sublime character of the Jewish Faith. And we who are reformers must not deceive ourselves with the impression that so-called reform, as it is popularly understood, is any guarantee whatever for a right apprehension of the spirit of our faith. The words reform and orthodox have very uncertain sounds. They do by no means express what they imply. N o impartial student of modern Jewish history can have observed reform in Germany and in England without a feeling that its results after two or three generations have been lamentably weak. The truth is that reform has too frequently been altogether misconceived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
