Description

Letter from Isaac Mayer Wise to Isaac Leeser, editor of The Occident, criticizing an article in the April issue written by someone using the pseudonym "Truth." Wise takes issue with "Truth's" interpretations of Jewish law and the role of a Jewish journal, arguing that "Truth" misrepresents the importance of history and Jewish practice. He also criticizes "Truth's" attacks on other writers in the journal and the Charleston Congregation's method of reading the Bible. The letter is written in English with some Hebrew interspersed.
