An interesting example of the Zionistic aspirations of American Jewry, proclaiming that only in the Land of Israel will the Jews be safe from anti-Semitism and thus further develop a deeper spiritual life. For an analysis of the work, see I.C. Selevan, A Pre-Herzlian Jewish State, in: AJHQ, March, 1977 pp. 432-5. The second part is an anti-Reform polemic.
