Raphall here insists on upholding the age-old truths of Jewish tradition - especially here and now in the United States.
“You tell us that these United States are Jerusalem, that Israel wishes for no restoration and has none to expect. And so because a handful of Jews have in these States recovered those inalienable rights which belong to them as men… Because here the lowest, the most material of their animal wants can be provided for with abundance, and the finger of scorn is not actually and pointedly held up at the Jew; therefore he is to sever his hopes and interests for his suffering brethren…and [regard] their deeply rooted faith a delusion…” (p. 17).
