The Braunschweig Conference of Reform Rabbis in 1845, enacted radical changes to Jewish prayer and practice. The present two works forcefully protest what was considered to be grave threats to Judaism’s future. Lehren’s Torath ha-Kana’uth contain the views of the young Samson ben Raphael Hirsch Frankfurter (ff.3v.-5v.). Other responses are those of: Rabbis Yitzchak Eizik [Haver-Wildman] of Tiktin, author of the work of Kabbalah, Pithchei She’arim; Judah Aszod (Mahar”i Aszod); Abraham Samuel Benjamin ben Moses Sofer [Schreiber] of Presssburg” (“Kethav Sofer,” son of “Chatham Sofer”); and Jekuthiel Judah Teitelbaum of Ujhely.
