G. D. Bernheim Questions E. Marcussohn's Account of Conversion

Description

The letter questions the account given by E. Marcussohn in the October issue of *The Occident*, denying statements made in the August issue of the *Jewish Chronicle* about his conversion to Christianity. The writer, G. D. Bernheim, presents a series of ten points challenging Marcussohn's claims of remaining faithful to Judaism. He details interactions with Marcussohn, including a visit to Bernheim's home, and mentions receiving money from Marcussohn, and the provision of a letter of introduction to a reverend in Columbia, South Carolina. Bernheim suggests that Marcussohn's actions contradict his assertions of remaining Jewish and concludes that if all converted Jews acted like Marcussohn, there would be little hope for missionary work among Jews.
