The Old Paths, or the Talmud Tested By Scripture, Being a Comparison of the Principles and Doctrines of Modern Judaism With the Religion of Moses and the Prophets (Classic Reprint)

The Old Paths appeared as a volume. They have been translated, in the meantime, into Hebrew, German, andF rench; and their merits discussed by the learned and unlearned of the Jewish people, in all the countries of their dispersion. The reception has in general been favourable, and the effect upon the Jewish mind perceptible. Since their first ap pearance, theW est London Synagogue and theL iturgies of theB ritish Jews, both renouncing that which The Old Paths pronounced objectionable, have started into ex istence. The assembled rabbies at Brunswick andF rank fort have discussed topics similar to some treated inT he Old Paths, and in some cases come to similar conclusions respecting the value of Rabbinic Traditions. The Reform Societies of Germany have commenced a formidable attack upon theO ralL aw, and a free discussion is now carried on in the numerous Jewish periodicals of that country, of which the results are easily foretold. The promised Ger man translation of the Talmud, if ever completed, must, without any discussion, overthrow Talmudism. I ts exhibition in any European language is the most fatal attack that can be made on its authority. It needs only to be seen as it is, in order to be rejected.
