summary
Second work opposed SCHLESINGER’s Beth Yoseph Chadash which advocated the energetic migration of Jews from Europe to Eretz Israel to avoid Assimilation as a result of the Enlightenment. His ideas were so radical (as extreme as permitting the break-up of marriages) and his criticism of existing communal structures so severe, his work was ultimately banned. See Carmilly-Weinberger, pp.156-7
Light stains in places, trace foxed in places. Recent cloth backed boardds, gently rubbed at edges. Sm. 4to
