Textbook of Jewish ethics for use in the Jewish elementary schools of France in general and Alsace-Lorraine in particular (this copy was used in Metz). The author wishes to supplement the existing syllabus – just translating the Pentateuch and memorizing catechisms – with engaging parables, around a hundred of which, often full of local color, he presents her.
