The Birth of Reform Judaism
“A new Jewish sect has been founded here under the direction of Dr. Creizenach. The supporters—and they already amount to a considerable number—do not adhere to any Jewish-Talmudic ceremony of law; do not look upon circumcision—either as a religiously or as a civily obliging act; and believe that the Messiah has come in the form of the German Fatherland.” - The Frankfurter Journal - June 21, 1843
Me: How’d that work out for you, fellas?
