summary:
  R. Eleazar ha-Mudai said, He who profanes things sacred, and despises the festivals, and puts his fellow-man to shame in public, and makes void the covenant of Abraham, our father, and makes the _Torah_ bear a meaning other than the right; (such a one) even though knowledge of the _Torah_ and good deeds be his, has no share in the world to come. R. Eleazar, the son of Azariah, said, Where there is no _Torah_, there are no manners; where there are no manners, there is no _Torah_: where there is no wisdom, there is no fear of God; where there is no fear of God, there is no wisdom: where there is no knowledge, there no understanding; where there is no understanding, there is no knowledge: where there is no meal, there is no _

  No Invitation was now made in _Smyrna_ by the _Iewes_, nor Marriage, or Circumcision solemnized, where _Sabatai_ was not present, accompanyed with a multitude of his Followers, and the Streets cover'd with Carpits, or fine Cloath for him to tread on; but the Humility of this _ In this manner things ran to a strange height of madness amongst the _Jews_ at _Smyrna_, where appear'd such pageantry of greatness, that no Comedy could equal the mock-shews they represented, and though none durst openly profess any scruple, or doubt of this common received belief, yet for confirmation of the _Jews_ in their Faith, and astonishment of the _Gentiles_, it was judged no less than necessary that _Sabatai_ should shew some miracles, whereby to evince to all the World that he was the true _Messiah_: and as the present occasion seemed to require an evidence infallible of this truth, so it was daily expected by the vulgar, with an impatience sutable to humors disposed to Noveltie; who out of every action and motion of their Prophet began to fancy something extraordinary and supernatural.

  After going in the morning to hear the Chazan again, and coming home and enjoying the Hamantaschen and other good things, then begins the pleasure and excitement of sending Shalach-manoth to friends, acquaintances, and chiefly to the poor, and even to enemies if you have any. Benjamin was like many other boys of 13, not very clever, but blessed with a good deal of common sense.

  But the whole book breathes so nationalistic a spirit, so uncompromising a belief that the enemy of Israel must be the enemy of God, that it has become difficult for modern Judaism to retain any affection for it. It is, however, clear that modern Judaism now realises the mistake made by the Reformers of the mid-nineteenth century.

summary:
  The scope of Judaism is, then, the propagation among men of the _religious idea_, and this comprises the doctrines revealed respecting the Deity and respecting man, in consequence of which the latter will be able to attain his true goal. Of all that surrounds him, nothing is of any value in his eyes but that which may contribute to the accomplishment of the Divine design; in all passing events he sees but as many dispositions of Providence calculated to direct men to the path in which they are called to walk; the very thoughts which cross his mind, and the wishes which form themselves in his heart, he regards them not as the productions of his own soul, but as emanations from the Spirit of God which dwells in him, and pervades all his being.

  And now, in the first place, I cannot but greatly wonder at those men, who suppose that we must attend to none but Grecians, when we are inquiring about the most ancient facts, and must inform ourselves of their truth from them only, while we must not believe ourselves nor other men; for I am convinced that the very reverse is the truth of the case. As for ourselves, therefore, we neither inhabit a maritime country, nor do we delight in merchandise, nor in such a mixture with other men as arises from it; but the cities we dwell in are remote from the sea, and having a fruitful country for our habitation, we take pains in cultivating that only.

summary:
  This practice was first carried out in the open streets, (as already noticed in the former Chapter,) or in the public market places, as found most convenient, until such time when arrangements could be made for the establishment of Schools and Synagogues suitable for such purposes. As soon as Ezra had collected about him a large body of people, he issued a proclamation for a general fast and days of thanksgiving, to implore the blessing and protection of God.

  I suggested the restoration _ki-rib Â�(a-ma-mi)_, in the midst of heaven, as possible, since the traces of the first sign in the last word of the line seemed to be those of the Neo-Babylonian form of _Â�a_. Other Hittite-Aramaean and Phoenician monuments, as yet undocumented with literary records, exhibit a strange but not unpleasing mixture of foreign _motifs_, such as we see on the stele from Amrith(1) in the inland district of Arvad.

  May one not say that German Jews have, up till now, been much attached to their country; that they have added to its distinction in the field of science, art and literature. The greatest wave of deportations of German Jews and Christians of Jewish origin to Poland has been going on since the middle of October.
