Concerns about Skepticism towards Miracles in the Jewish Community

Description

Letter from M. R. Miller to Isaac Leeser discussing the acceptance of miracles within the Jewish community. Miller shares an article from the Israelite which expresses belief in miracles, contrasting it with the views of Drs. Wise and Lilienthal. He expresses concern that the Jewish community is shifting towards disbelief in miracles and mentions a conversation with Mr. Moering in Cincinnati about this trend. Miller notes that this shift is viewed negatively by non-Jews, but expresses confidence in the ultimate triumph of truth.
