Introduction

It is easy to figure out the level a state finds itself, if people are called statesmen who repeat again and again that Jews who disregard the commands of their ancient law and introduce reforms in their religious life, lose the respect of their Christian fellow citizens. In this regard the only question could certainly be whether the Jews are able to obey their ancient law, whether their present relationship to the law raises their morality, whether the relationship can really be a moral one, since it is even doubtful what is really their law.
