The article reflected the breadth and depth of Leeser’s Jewish knowledge. Leeser was a prolific writer, translator, publisher of Jewish works, and, despite being a staunch traditionalist, innovator in his efforts to reach and teach American Jews. In the article, Leeser contrasted the certainty of revelation with the unreliability of reason. “What one man calls reasonable another may . . . style absurd; or what is perfectly consonant with the notions generally prevailing this year that is the current spirit of the age, may fall within the next twelve months beneath the axe of some sharpwitted critic.” As an example of ethical uncertainty Leeser suggested “the institution of slavery.” He noted that many Southern slave owners had once pronounced slavery “the greatest curse under which they labored,” while most Northerners approached the institution “with a great degree of indifference.” As Northern “abhorrence of slaveholding has increased,” however, Southern ideas have undergone a “corresponding mutation” such that even women “advocate the state of bondage as the happiest for the African race.” Slavery was viewed as a “patriarchal” institution, “promotive of mutual blessing to the master and servant.” Leeser pointed to the curious phrase, “the blessings of slavery,” to demonstrate the difficulty in making moral sense of the problem. He concluded with a paean to ethical relativism: “Both Southerners and Northerners are equally sincere in their views that the one loves as ardently as the other detests the presence of negro bondmen.” By equating proand anti-","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"231 - 254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41672882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He admitted that he was no admirer of the Jewish Sunday school, pioneered by Rebecca Gratz in 1838 and replicated in Jewish communities across the country. As an institution of Jewish learning, he complained, it was superficial in scope, hardly capable of offering the intense training in Hebrew language and literature that he deemed necessary for the education of American Jewish children. Such educational curricula, he argued, required instruction by educators trained in the Jewish textual canon, as Wise himself had been. Yet he retained his principal animus for catechisms, short question-answer primers that were popularly used in Sunday schools to teach the basics of Jewish religion through rote memorization. “It appears to us,” he opined, “that catechisms were written in imitation of Christian schools, for the purpose of giving to the pupil who does not study the Bible a superficial knowledge of his creed as the author understands it.” Wise’s appraisal was not inaccurate. In most Jewish Sunday schools, students were drilled in catechisms rather than required to study the Torah in Hebrew. Memorizing catechetical questions and answers offered an expedient means to instill a basic understanding of Jewish religion in the","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"283 - 303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44913110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
